33.98 hRHMA tos n ; LOGOS, ou m
(derivative of legw `to say,' 33.69): that which has been stated or said, with
primary focus upon the content of the communication - `word, saying, message,
statement, question.' hRHMA: all' epi panti hRHMATI ekporeuomenw dia stomatos
qeou `but by every word that comes from the mouth of God' Mt 4.4. LOGOS: pollw
pleious episteusan dia ton LOGON autou `many more believed because of what he
said' Jn 4.41. In Mt 21.24 LOGOS may be rendered as `question' in view of the
preceding erwtaw, but the meaning of `question' is, of course, derived
essentially from the verb erwtaw `to ask' (33.180).

Any difference of meaning between LOGOS and hRHMA would be only a matter of
stylistic usage.
