Strong's is a reference to the linguistic work done on the Bible by James Strong, and particularly his Concordance.

Some researchers cite Strong's as though it were the Gospel truth, but in fact he had occasional weaknesses and biases in his work which can be improved upon today.

Examples of weakness or bias by Strong's:

  • preference for monarchical spin in translating non-monarchical Greek terms, such as Μεγαλωσύνης
  • a literary rather than scientific bias, thereby tending to avoid more scientific or mathematical terms such as power, efficiency, energy, perfection (in the sense of flawlessness), set, and infinity
