Definition: In English, "alterations" has several possible meanings: 1. Changes in form or structure: In verse 27, "And he that hath the word of god [the Bible] believeth not." Here, it refers to changing the meaning of a sentence. 2. Improvements made by someone: In verses 45 and 58, "He that believeth on in this book of life will be saved." It describes how faith can be strengthened through believing in or being inspired by God's Word. 3. The act of altering or changing something: In verse 62, "And when he hath heard the word from me [the Bible], he believeth that heareth it and receiveth it." This means someone believes a particular thing, especially if they hear it. 4. Changes in one's character or identity: The Bible often tells us of characters changing for the better through faithfulness to God's Word, but can also refer to how our actions may cause others to change as we live out our faith. To be sure, these examples do not all directly follow this definition, but they do offer a glimpse into how changes in form or structure are often seen by some believers.
