    In I John 1:1, what is the difference in the Greek between, "which we have seen with our eyes" and "which we have looked upon" OR is John just repeating himself for emphasis???

    Hi Mona.

    I believe it means to Look closely upon, to examine or observe.

    Greek:

    Transliteration: theaomai

    Pronunciation: theh-ah'-om-ahee

    Definition: A prolonged form of a primary verb; to look closely at that is (by implication) to perceive (literally or figuratively); by extension to visit : - behold look (upon) see. Compare G3700 .

    I hope that helps.

    God bless.
