Clever Words: A Lenten Devotional, Sunday Edition

Stegosaurus = “roof lizard”
Στέγος - roof
Σαύρα - lizard
The verb form of stegos, στέγω (stego) means to keep, repel, protect, uphold, bear, or cover. All things which a roof or the armored plating of a stegosaurus do quite nicely.

Here is a Clever Verse for your reading pleasure:
7 [Love] bears (stego) all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:7).

I guess we could also call the stegosaurs the "love lizard"
