The term itself is not frequently used in the Berean Standard Bible , but the underlying themes are prevalent throughout Scripture. 1. Leadership and Authority: The idea of principal often relates to those in positions of leadership or authority. In the Old Testament, leaders such as kings, judges, and prophets were considered principal figures who guided the people of Israel. For example, King David is a principal figure in the history of Israel, chosen by God to lead His people (<a href="/1_samuel/16.htm">1 Samuel 16:1-13</a>). His leadership is marked by a heart after God, as noted in <a href="/acts/13-22.htm">Acts 13:22</a>, "After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will do all My will.’" 2. Wisdom and Understanding: The Book of Proverbs frequently emphasizes the importance of wisdom as a principal thing. <a href="/proverbs/4-7.htm">Proverbs 4:7</a> states, "Wisdom is supreme; therefore acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding." Here, wisdom is portrayed as a foundational principle that should guide one's life and decisions. The pursuit of wisdom is encouraged as a means to live righteously and in accordance with God's will. 3. Principalities and Powers: In the New Testament, the term "principalities" is used to describe spiritual forces and authorities. <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a> highlights the spiritual battle believers face: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." This passage underscores the reality of spiritual warfare and the need for believers to be equipped with the armor of God. 4. Foundational Truths: The concept of principal can also refer to foundational truths or doctrines of the Christian faith. <a href="/hebrews/6.htm">Hebrews 6:1-2</a> encourages believers to move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in God. These foundational principles are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. 5. Moral and Ethical Principles: The Bible provides numerous moral and ethical principles that serve as a guide for righteous living. The Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20.htm">Exodus 20:1-17</a>) are a prime example of God's principal laws given to His people. Jesus further expounds on these principles in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), where He teaches about the heart of the law and the importance of internal righteousness. In summary, while the specific term "principal" may not be frequently used in the BSB, the concept is woven throughout Scripture in various forms, emphasizing leadership, wisdom, spiritual authority, foundational truths, and moral principles. These elements are integral to understanding the biblical worldview and living a life that honors God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
