What do you think of when you hear the word angell? Is it a chubby baby with a bow and arrow on Valentine's Day? Maybe the Christmas angel coming to spread good news and cheer?  What does the Bible actually say about angels? It is probably not what you might picture...

To use a word study to research a particular word or phrase:
bible gateway : https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=angel&version=NKJV
bible hub: https://biblescan.com/search.php?q=angel
blue letter bible: https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=angel&t=ESV#s=s_primary_0_1

Use the search bar. Your results can differ depending on the translation so searching in King James Version might be a good place to start. For my own study, I usually use the ESV version or CSB. The list will be every scripture that uses that word. These are links to the search for "angel"
