While English cross-references connect English words that match and Strong\u2019s cross-references connect original language words that match, the TSK identifies biblical and theological topics from the passage, showing other places in Scripture where those same topics exist.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe original tool was difficult to navigate in that it only grabbed the first word of a phrase within the passage. The user had to then figure out which phrase matched with the results. And so, our development team worked hard to improve the tool by matching the entire phrase to the cross-reference results below it. Here is Ephesians 1:11 as an example:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.blueletterbible.org\/blb\/2024\/11\/19\/updated-tsk\/tsk-before-after_mc_900x500\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9560\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9560\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.blueletterbible.org\/blb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/tsk-before-after_mc_900x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.blueletterbible.org\/blb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/tsk-before-after_mc_900x500.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blogs.blueletterbible.org\/blb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/tsk-before-after_mc_900x500-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.blueletterbible.org\/blb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/tsk-before-after_mc_900x500-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the original Cross-Refs tool only had one or two words in red. This means that the cross-references related to those words. However, the cross-referenced verses actually relate to entire phrases, as seen in the &#8220;After&#8221; screenshot. With that in mind, we have updated over 66,000 TSK entries on our site and mobile apps to display the content that is being cross-referenced more accurately. We pray that the time we have spent with this powerful tool makes it easier to use and enhances your time in God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topical Cross-Referencing Now Made Easy!
