When you context to determine the meaning of a word where do you primarily for information or clues?

Context means the passage where the word is found. For instance the first word in the bible is "beginning", and that defines the word.

Context means the subject of the book or article where the word is found. For instance "faith" in a newspaper does not mean the same as "faith" in the bible. There is only one Greek word translated both "faith" and "belief", but the bible says faith came by Jesus Christ. That establishes two contexts, before Jesus and after Jesus, and that allows some more learning.

Context might mean who speaks the word. You would not expect an uneducated person to be as careful about using the correct words as an educated person would be.
