definition:
<b>Spirit</b> <1,,4151, pneuma><p/> primarily denotes "the wind" (akin to pneo, "to breathe, blow"); also "breath;" then, especially "the spirit," which, like the wind, is invisible, immaterial and powerful.

(2) For the distinction between "spirit" and "soul," see under SOUL, last three paragraphs. <p/> * The Holy Spirit <p/> The "Holy Spirit" is spoken of under various titles in the NT ("Spirit" and "Ghost" are renderings of the same word, pneuma; the advantage of the rendering "Spirit" is that it can always be used, whereas "Ghost" always requires the word "Holy" prefixed.) In the following list the omission of the definite article marks its omission in the original (concerning this see below): "Spirit, <a href='B:470 22:43'>Mat 22:43</a>; Eternal Spirit, <a href='B:650 9:14'>Heb 9:14</a>; the Spirit, <a href='B:470 4:1'>Mat 4:1</a>; Holy Spirit, <a href='B:470 1:18'>Mat 1:18</a>; the Holy Spirit, <a href='B:470 28:19'>Mat 28:19</a>; the Spirit, the Holy, <a href='B:470 12:32'>Mat 12:32</a>; the Spirit of promise, the Holy, <a href='B:560 1:13'>Eph 1:13</a>; Spirit of God, <a href='B:520 8:9'>Rom 8:9</a>; Spirit of (the) living God, <a href='B:540 3:3'>2Co 3:3</a>; the Spirit of God, <a href='B:530 2:11'>1Co 2:11</a>; the Spirit of our God, <a href='B:530 6:11'>1Co 6:11</a>; the Spirit of God, the Holy, <a href='B:560 4:30'>Eph 4:30</a>; the Spirit of glory and of God, <a href='B:670 4:14'>1Pe 4:14</a>; the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead (i.e., God), <a href='B:520 8:11'>Rom 8:11</a>; the Spirit of your Father, <a href='B:470 10:20'>Mat 10:20</a>; the Spirit of His Son, <a href='B:550 4:6'>Gal 4:6</a>; Spirit of (the) Lord, <a href='B:510 8:39'>Act 8:39</a>; the Spirit of (the) Lord, <a href='B:510 5:9'>Act 5:9</a>; (the) Lord, (the) Spirit, <a href='B:540 3:18'>2Co 3:18</a>; the Spirit of Jesus, <a href='B:510 16:7'>Act 16:7</a>; Spirit of Christ, <a href='B:520 8:9'>Rom 8:9</a>; the Spirit of Jesus Christ, <a href='B:570 1:19'>Phi 1:19</a>; Spirit of adoption, <a href='B:520 8:15'>Rom 8:15</a>; the Spirit of truth, <a href='B:500 14:17'>Joh 14:17</a>; the Spirit of life, <a href='B:520 8:2'>Rom 8:2</a>; the Spirit of grace, <a href='B:650 10:29'>Heb 10:29</a>." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 193.] <p/> The use or absence of the article in the original where the "Holy Spirit" is spoken of cannot always be decided by grammatical rules, nor can the presence or absence of the article alone determine whether the reference is to the "Holy Spirit." Examples where the Person is meant when the article is absent are <a href='B:470 22:43'>Mat 22:43</a> (the article is used in <a href='B:480 12:36'>Mar 12:36</a>); <a href='B:510 4:25'>Act 4:25</a>, RV (absent in some texts); <a href='B:510 19:2'>Act 19:2</a>, <a href='B:510 19:6'>Act 19:6</a>, <a href='B:520 14:17'>Rom 14:17</a>, <a href='B:530 2:4'>1Co 2:4</a>, <a href='B:550 5:25'>Gal 5:25</a> (twice); <a href='B:670 1:2'>1Pe 1:2</a>. Sometimes the absence is to be accounted for by the fact that Pneuma (like Theos) is substantially a proper name, e.g., in <a href='B:500 7:39'>Joh 7:39</a>. As a general rule the article is present where the subject of the teaching is the Personality of the Holy Spirit, e.g., <a href='B:500 14:26'>Joh 14:26</a>, where He is spoken of in distinction from the Father and the Son. See also <a href='B:500 15:26'>Joh 15:26</a> and cp. <a href='B:490 3:22'>Luk 3:22</a>. <p/> In <a href='B:550 3:3'>Gal 3:3</a>, in the phrase "having begun in the Spirit," it is difficult to say whether the reference is to the "Holy Spirit" or to the quickened spirit of the believer; that it possibly refers to the latter is not to be determined by the absence of the article, but by the contrast with "the flesh;" on the other hand, the contrast may be between the "Holy Spirit" who in the believer sets His seal on the perfect work of Christ, and the flesh which seeks to better itself by works of its own. There is no preposition before either noun, and if the reference is to the quickened spirit it cannot be dissociated from the operation of the "Holy Spirit." In <a href='B:550 4:29'>Gal 4:29</a> the phrase "after the Spirit" signifies "by supernatural power," in contrast to "after the flesh," i.e., "by natural power," and the reference must be to the "Holy Spirit;" so in <a href='B:550 5:17'>Gal 5:17</a>. <p/> The full title with the article before both pneuma and hagios (the "resumptive" use of the article), lit., "the Spirit the Holy," stresses the character of the Person, e.g., <a href='B:470 12:32'>Mat 12:32</a>, <a href='B:480 3:29'>Mar 3:29</a>, <a href='B:480 12:36'>Mar 12:36</a>, <a href='B:480 13:11'>Mar 13:11</a>, <a href='B:490 2:26'>Luk 2:26</a>, <a href='B:490 10:21'>Luk 10:21</a> (RV); <a href='B:500 14:26'>Joh 14:26</a>, <a href='B:510 1:16'>Act 1:16</a>, <a href='B:510 5:3'>Act 5:3</a>, <a href='B:510 7:51'>Act 7:51</a>, <a href='B:510 10:44'>Act 10:44</a>, <a href='B:510 10:47'>Act 10:47</a>, <a href='B:510 13:2'>Act 13:2</a>, <a href='B:510 15:28'>Act 15:28</a>, <a href='B:510 19:6'>Act 19:6</a>, <a href='B:510 20:23'>Act 20:23</a>, <a href='B:510 20:28'>Act 20:28</a>, <a href='B:510 21:11'>Act 21:11</a>, <a href='B:510 28:25'>Act 28:25</a>, <a href='B:560 4:30'>Eph 4:30</a>, <a href='B:650 3:7'>Heb 3:7</a>, <a href='B:650 9:8'>Heb 9:8</a>, <a href='B:650 10:15'>Heb 10:15</a>. <p/> The Personality of the Spirit is emphasized at the expense of strict grammatical procedure in <a href='B:500 14:26'>Joh 14:26</a>, <a href='B:500 15:26'>Joh 15:26</a>, <a href='B:500 16:8'>Joh 16:8</a>, <a href='B:500 1:16-14'>Joh 1:16-14</a>, where the emphatic pronoun ekeinos, "He," is used of Him in the masculine, whereas the noun pneuma is neuter in Greek, while the corresponding word in Aramaic, the language in which our Lord probably spoke, is feminine (rucha, cp. Heb. ruach). The rendering "itself" in <a href='B:520 8:16'>Rom 8:16</a>, <a href='B:520 8:26'>Rom 8:26</a>, due to the Greek gender, is corrected to "Himself" in the RV. <p/> The subject of the "Holy Spirit" in the NT may be considered as to His Divine attributes; His distinct Personality in the Godhead; His operation in connection with the Lord Jesus in His birth, His life, His baptism, His death; His operations in the world; in the church; His having been sent at Pentecost by the Father and by Christ; His operations in the individual believer; in local churches; His operations in the production of Holy Scripture; His work in the world, etc.

Thus the Apostle, in <a href='B:530 1:3-3'>1Co 1:3-3</a>, suggests a contrast between this spiritual state and that of the babe in Christ, i.e., of the man who because of immaturity and inexperience has not yet reached spirituality, and that of the man who by permitting jealousy, and the strife to which jealousy always leads, has lost it. The spiritual state is reached by diligence in the Word of God and in prayer; it is maintained by obedience and self-judgment. Such as are led by the Spirit are spiritual, but, of course, spirituality is not a fixed or absolute condition, it admits of growth; indeed growth in 'the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,' <a href='B:680 3:18'>2Pe 3:18</a>, is evidence of true spirituality." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 308-319.] <p/> <B-1,Adverb,4153, pneumatikos><p/> "spiritually," occurs in <a href='B:530 2:14'>1Co 2:14</a>, with the meaning as (j) above, and <a href='B:730 11:8'>Rev 11:8</a>, with the meaning as in (c).

See EXTORT, B, No. 1. <p/> <B-1,Verb,1283, diarpazo><p/> "to plunder," is found in <a href='B:470 1:12'>Mat 1:12</a>, 2-nd part (the 1st has harpazo, in the best texts), lit., "(then) he will completely (dia, intensive) spoil (his house);" <a href='B:480 3:27'>Mar 3:27</a> (twice). <p/> <B-2,Verb,726, harpazo><p/> "to seize, snatch away," is rendered "spoil" in <a href='B:470 12:29'>Mat 12:29</a> (see No. 1). See CATCH, No. 1. <p/> <B-3,Verb,4812, sulagogeo><p/> "to carry off as spoil, lead captive" (sule, "spoil," ago, "to lead"), is rendered "maketh spoil of" in <a href='B:580 2:8'>Col 2:8</a>, RV (AV, "spoil"), rather "carry you off as spoil." The false teacher, through his "philosophy and vain deceit," would carry them off as so much booty. <p/> <B-4,Verb,554, apekduo><p/> in the Middle Voice is translated "having spoiled" in <a href='B:580 2:15'>Col 2:15</a>, AV, RV, "having put off from Himself (the principalities and the powers)." These are regarded by some as the unsinning angels, because they are mentioned twice before in the Epistle (<a href='B:580 1:6'>Col 1:6</a>, <a href='B:580 2:10'>Col 2:10</a>). It is also argued that the verb apekduo, rendered "having put off from Himself," in <a href='B:580 2:15'>Col 2:15</a>, is used in a somewhat different sense in <a href='B:580 3:9'>Col 3:9</a>. Such representations do not form a sufficiently cogent reason for regarding the principalities and the powers here mentioned as those of light, rather than those of darkness. <p/> Others think that the reference is to the holy angels, which were in attendance at the giving of the Law (<a href='B:510 7:53'>Act 7:53</a>, <a href='B:550 3:19'>Gal 3:19</a>), and that Christ wrought His work on the cross, without any such attendance; or, again, that, even apart from the Law and its circumstances, the Lord stripped Himself of those who usually ministered to Him, as, e.g., in the wilderness and in the garden of Gethsemane. <p/> The exposition given by Lightfoot and others seems to be the right one. There is no doubt that Satan and his hosts gathered together to attack the soul of Christ, while He was enduring, in propitiatory sacrifice, the judgment due to our sins, and fulfilling the great work of redemption. There is an intimation of this in <a href='B:230 22:21'>Psa 22:21</a>, "Save Me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen" (cp. <a href='B:230 1:22-13'>Psa 1:22-13</a>). Doubtless the powers of darkness gathered against the Lord at that time, fiercely assaulting Him to the utmost of their power. He Himself had said, "This is your hour, and the power of darkness" (<a href='B:490 22:53'>Luk 22:53</a>). The metaphor of putting off from Himself these powers need not be pressed to the extent of regarding them as a garment clinging about Him. It seems to stand simply as a vivid description of His repulsion of their attack and of the power by which He completely overthrew them.

topic: Superscription
definition:
<b>Superscription</b> <1,,1923, epigraphe><p/> lit., "an over-writing" (epi, "over," grapho, "to write") (the meaning of the anglicized Latin word "superscription"), denotes "an inscription, a title." On Roman coins the emperor's name was inscribed, <a href='B:470 22:20'>Mat 22:20</a>, <a href='B:480 12:16'>Mar 12:16</a>, <a href='B:490 20:24'>Luk 20:24</a>. In the Roman Empire, in the case of a criminal on his way to execution, a board on which was inscribed the cause of his condemnation, was carried before him or hung round his neck; the inscription was termed a "title" (titlos). The four Evangelists state that at the crucifixion of Christ the title was affixed to the cross, Mark (<a href='B:480 15:26'>Mar 15:26</a>) and Luke (<a href='B:490 23:38'>Luk 23:38</a>) call it a "superscription;" Marks says it was "written over" (epigrapho, the corresponding verb). Matthew calls it "His accusation;" John calls it "a title" (a technical term). The wording varies: the essential words are the same, and the variation serves to authenticate the narratives, showing that there was no consultation leading to an agreement as to the details. See further under TITLE.


topic: Superstitious
definition:
<b>Superstitious</b> <1,,1175, deisidaimon><p/> "reverent to the deity" (deido, "to fear;" daimon, "a demon," or "pagan god"), occurs in <a href='B:510 17:22'>Act 17:22</a> in the comparative degree, rendered "somewhat superstitious," RV (AV, "too superstitious"), a meaning which the word sometimes has; others, according to its comparative form, advocate the meaning "more religious (than others)," "quite religious" (cp. the noun in <a href='B:510 25:19'>Act 25:19</a>). This is supported by Ramsay, who renders it "more than others respectful of what is divine;" so Deissmann in Light from the Ancient East, and others. It also agrees with the meaning found in Greek writers; the context too suggests that the adjective is used in a good sense; perhaps, after all, with kindly ambiguity (Grimm-Thayer). An ancient epitaph has it in the sense of "reverent" (Moulton and Milligan).


topic: Supper
definition:
<b>Supper</b> <1,,1173, deipnon><p/> denotes "a supper" or "feast" (for an analysis of the uses see FEAST, NO. 2).

(2) In <a href='B:510 15:37'>Act 15:37</a>, AV, kaleo, "to call" (RV, "called"), is rendered "whose surname was." (3) The verb eponomazo, translated "bearest the name" in <a href='B:520 2:17'>Rom 2:17</a>, RV, finds a literal correspondence in the word "surname" (epi, "upon," : sur), and had this significance in Classical Greek.

<b>Syrophoenician</b> <1,,4949,surophoinikissa / surophunissa> occurs in <a href='B:480 7:26'>Mar 7:26</a> as the national name of a woman called "a Canaanitish woman" in <a href='B:470 15:22'>Mat 15:22</a>, i.e., not a Jewess but a descendant of the early inhabitants of the coastland of Phoenicia. The word probably denoted a Syrian residing in Phoenicia proper. There is a tradition that the woman's name was Justa and her daughter Bernice (Clementine Homilies, 2:19; 3:73). In <a href='B:510 1:21-3'>Act 1:21-3</a>, the two parts of the term are used interchangeably.

topic: Talent
definition:
<b>Talent</b> <A-1,Noun,5007, talanton><p/> originally "a balance," then, "a talent in weight," was hence "a sum of money" in gold or silver equivalent to a "talent." The Jewish "talent" contained 3,000 shekels of the sanctuary, e.g., <a href='B:20 30:13'>Exo 30:13</a> (about 114 lbs.). In NT times the "talent" was not a weight of silver, but the Roman-Attic "talent," comprising 6,000 denarii or drachmas, and equal to about f240. It is mentioned in Matthew only, <a href='B:470 18:24'>Mat 18:24</a>, <a href='B:470 1:25-16'>Mat 1:25-16</a>, <a href='B:470 25:20'>Mat 25:20</a> (twice in the best texts), <a href='B:470 25:22'>Mat 25:22</a> (thrice), <a href='B:470 1:25-25'>Mat 1:25-25</a>, <a href='B:470 25:28'>Mat 25:28</a> (twice). In <a href='B:470 18:24'>Mat 18:24</a> the vastness of the sum, 10,000 talents (f2,400,000), indicates the impossibility of man's clearing himself, by his own efforts, of the guilt which lies upon him before God. <p/> Note: That the "talent" denoted "something weighed" has provided the meaning of the Eng. word as "a gift or ability," especially under the influence of the parable of the talents (<a href='B:470 1:25-30'>Mat 1:25-30</a>). <p/> <B-1,Adjective,5006, talantiaios><p/> denotes "of a talent's weight," <a href='B:730 16:21'>Rev 16:21</a>.


topic: Talitha
definition:
<b>Talitha</b> <1,,5008,taleitha / talitha> an Aramaic feminine meaning "maiden," <a href='B:480 5:41'>Mar 5:41</a>, has been variously transliterated in the NT Greek mss. Koumi or Koum (Heb. and Aram., qum, "arise"), which follows, is interpreted by, "I say unto thee, arise." Koum is the better attested word; so in the Talmud, where this imperative occurs "seven times in one page" (Edersheim, Life and Times of Jesus, i, p. 631).

definition:
<b>Tares</b> <1,,2215, zizanion><p/> is a kind of darnel, the commonest of the four species, being the bearded, growing in the grain fields, as tall as wheat and barley, and resembling wheat in appearance. It was credited among the Jews with being degenerate wheat. The rabbis called it "bastard." The seeds are poisonous to man and herbivorous animals, producing sleepiness, nausea, convulsions and even death (they are harmless to poultry). The plants can be separated out, but the custom, as in the parable, is to leave the cleaning out till near the time of harvest, <a href='B:470 1:13-27'>Mat 1:13-27</a>, <a href='B:470 1:13-30'>Mat 1:13-30</a>, <a href='B:470 13:36'>Mat 13:36</a>, <a href='B:470 13:38'>Mat 13:38</a>, <a href='B:470 13:40'>Mat 13:40</a>.

Christ taught in one of the courts, to which all the people had access. Hieron is never used figuratively. The Temple mentioned in the Gospels and Acts was begun by Herod in 20 B.C., and destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70. <p/> <2,,3485, naos><p/> "a shrine or sanctuary," was used (a) among the heathen, to denote the shrine containing the idol, <a href='B:510 17:24'>Act 17:24</a>, <a href='B:510 19:24'>Act 19:24</a> (in the latter, miniatures); (b) among the Jews, the sanctuary in the "Temple," into which only the priests could lawfully enter, e.g., <a href='B:490 1:9'>Luk 1:9</a>, <a href='B:490 1:1-22'>Luk 1:1-22</a>; Christ, as being of the tribe of Judah, and thus not being a priest while upon the earth (<a href='B:650 1:7-14'>Heb 1:7-14</a>, <a href='B:650 8:4'>Heb 8:4</a>), did not enter the naos; for <a href='B:600 2:4'>2Th 2:4</a> see Note (below); (c) by Christ metaphorically, of His own physical body, <a href='B:500 2:19'>Joh 2:19</a>, <a href='B:500 2:21'>Joh 2:21</a>; (d) in apostolic teaching, metaphorically, (1) of the Church, the mystical Body of Christ, <a href='B:560 2:21'>Eph 2:21</a>; (2) of a local church, <a href='B:530 1:3-17'>1Co 1:3-17</a>, <a href='B:540 6:16'>2Co 6:16</a>; (3) of the present body of the individual believer, <a href='B:530 6:19'>1Co 6:19</a>; (4) of the "Temple" seen in visions in the Apocalypse, <a href='B:730 3:12'>Rev 3:12</a>, <a href='B:730 7:15'>Rev 7:15</a>, <a href='B:730 11:19'>Rev 11:19</a>, <a href='B:730 14:15'>Rev 14:15</a>, <a href='B:730 14:17'>Rev 14:17</a>, <a href='B:730 1:15-6'>Rev 1:15-6</a>, <a href='B:730 15:8'>Rev 15:8</a>, <a href='B:730 16:1'>Rev 16:1</a>, <a href='B:730 16:17'>Rev 16:17</a>; (5) of the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb, as the "Temple" of the new and heavenly Jerusalem, <a href='B:730 21:22'>Rev 21:22</a>.

The weight of Scripture evidence is in favor of the view that it refers to a literal "temple" in Jerusalem, to be reconstructed in the future (cp. <a href='B:340 11:31'>Dan 11:31</a>, <a href='B:340 12:11'>Dan 12:11</a>, with <a href='B:470 24:15'>Mat 24:15</a>).

There was no sinful infirmity in Him. While He was truly man, and His Divine nature was not in any way inconsistent with His Manhood, there was nothing in Him such as is produced in us by the sinful nature which belongs to us; in <a href='B:650 11:37'>Heb 11:37</a>, of the testing of OT saints; in <a href='B:530 10:13'>1Co 10:13</a>, where the meaning has a wide scope, the verb is used of "testing" as permitted by God, and of the believer as one who should be in the realization of his own helplessness and his dependence upon God (see PROVE, TRY); in a bad sense, "to tempt" (a) of attempts to ensnare Christ in His speech, e.g., <a href='B:470 16:1'>Mat 16:1</a>, <a href='B:470 19:3'>Mat 19:3</a>, <a href='B:470 22:18'>Mat 22:18</a>, <a href='B:470 22:35'>Mat 22:35</a>, and parallel passages; <a href='B:500 8:6'>Joh 8:6</a>; (b) of temptations to sin, e.g., <a href='B:550 6:1'>Gal 6:1</a>, where one who would restore an erring brother is not to act as his judge, but as being one with him in liability to sin, with the possibility of finding himself in similar circumstances, <a href='B:660 1:1-14'>Jam 1:1-14</a> (see note below); of temptations mentioned as coming from the Devil, <a href='B:470 4:1'>Mat 4:1</a>; and parallel passages; <a href='B:530 7:5'>1Co 7:5</a>, <a href='B:590 3:5'>1Th 3:5</a> (see TEMPTER); (c) of trying or challenging God, <a href='B:510 15:10'>Act 15:10</a>, <a href='B:530 10:9'>1Co 10:9</a> (2nd part); <a href='B:650 3:9'>Heb 3:9</a>; the Holy Spirit, <a href='B:510 5:9'>Act 5:9</a>, cp. No. 2. <p/> Note: "<a href='B:660 1:1-15'>James 1:1-15</a> seems to contradict other statements of Scripture in two respects, saying (a) that 'God cannot be tempted with evil,' and (b) that 'He Himself tempteth no man.' but God tempted, or tried, Abraham, <a href='B:650 11:17'>Heb 11:17</a>, and the Israelites tempted, or tried, God, <a href='B:530 10:9'>1Co 10:9</a>. <a href='B:660 1:14'>Jam 1:14</a>, however, makes it plain that, whereas in these cases the temptation or trial, came from without, James refers to temptation, or trial, arising within, from uncontrolled appetites and from evil passions, cp. <a href='B:480 1:7-23'>Mar 1:7-23</a>. but though such temptation does not proceed from God, yet does God regard His people while they endure it, and by it tests and approves them." * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 97.] <p/> <A-2,Verb,1598, ekpeirazo><p/> an intensive form of the foregoing, is used in much the same way as No. 1 (2) (c), in Christ's quotation from <a href='B:50 6:16'>Deu 6:16</a>, in reply to the Devil, <a href='B:470 4:7'>Mat 4:7</a>, <a href='B:490 4:12'>Luk 4:12</a>; so in <a href='B:530 10:9'>1Co 10:9</a>, RV, "the Lord" (AV, "Christ"); of the lawyer who "tempted" Christ, <a href='B:490 10:25'>Luk 10:25</a>.

topic: Testator
definition:
<b>Testator</b> <1,,1303, diatithemi><p/> "to arrange, dispose," is used only in the Middle Voice in the NT; in <a href='B:650 1:9-17'>Heb 1:9-17</a>, the present participle with the article, lit., "the (one) making a testament (or covenant)," virtually a noun, "the testator" (the covenanting one); it is used of "making a covenant" in <a href='B:650 8:10'>Heb 8:10</a>, <a href='B:650 10:16'>Heb 10:16</a>, <a href='B:510 3:25'>Act 3:25</a>. In "covenant-making," the sacrifice of a victim was customary (<a href='B:10 15:10'>Gen 15:10</a>, <a href='B:300 1:34-19'>Jer 1:34-19</a>). He who "made a covenant" did so at the cost of a life. While the terminology in <a href='B:650 1:9-17'>Heb 1:9-17</a> has the appearance of being appropriate to the circumstances of making a will, there is excellent reason for adhering to the meaning "covenant-making." The rendering "the death of the testator" would make Christ a Testator, which He was not. He did not die simply that the terms of a testamentary disposition might be fulfilled for the heirs. Here He who is "the Mediator of a new covenant" (<a href='B:650 9:15'>Heb 9:15</a>) is Himself the Victim whose death was necessary. The idea of "making a will" destroys the argument of <a href='B:650 9:18'>Heb 9:18</a>. In spite of various advocacies of the idea of a will, the weight of evidence is confirmatory of what Hatch, in Essays in Biblical Greek, p. 48, says: "There can be little doubt that the word (diatheke) must be invariably taken in this sense of 'covenant' in the NT, and especially in a book so impregnated with the language of the Sept. as the Epistle to the Hebrews" (see also Westcott, and W. F. Moulton). We may render somewhat literally thus: "For where a covenant (is), a death (is) necessary to be brought in of the one covenanting; for a covenant over dead ones (victims) is sure, since never has it force when the one covenanting lives' [Christ being especially in view]. The writer is speaking from a Jewish point of view, not from that of the Greeks. "To adduce the fact that in the case of wills the death of the testator is the condition of validity, is, of course, no proof at all that a death is necessary to make a covenant valid. ... To support his argument, proving the necessity of Christ's death, the writer adduces the general law that he who makes a covenant does so at the expense of life" (Marcus Dods). See APPOINT, MAKE.


topic: Testify
definition:
<b>Testify</b> <1,,3140, martureo><p/> for which see WITNESS, is frequently rendered "to bear witness, to witness," in the RV, where AV renders it "to testify," <a href='B:500 2:25'>Joh 2:25</a>, <a href='B:500 3:11'>Joh 3:11</a>, <a href='B:500 3:32'>Joh 3:32</a>, <a href='B:500 5:39'>Joh 5:39</a>, <a href='B:500 15:26'>Joh 15:26</a>, <a href='B:500 21:24'>Joh 21:24</a>, <a href='B:530 15:15'>1Co 15:15</a>, <a href='B:650 7:17'>Heb 7:17</a>, <a href='B:650 11:4'>Heb 11:4</a>, <a href='B:690 4:14'>1Jo 4:14</a>, <a href='B:690 5:9'>1Jo 5:9</a>, <a href='B:710 1:3'>3Jo 1:3</a>.

See WITNESS.


topic: Testimony
definition:
<b>Testimony</b> <1,,3142, marturion><p/> "a testimony, witness," is almost entirely translated "testimony" in both AV and RV. The only place where both have "witness" is <a href='B:510 4:33'>Act 4:33</a>. In <a href='B:510 7:44'>Act 7:44</a>, <a href='B:660 5:3'>Jam 5:3</a>, the RV has "testimony" (AV, "witness"). <p/> In <a href='B:600 1:10'>2Th 1:10</a>, "our testimony unto you," RV, refers to the fact that the missionaries, besides proclaiming the truths of the gospel, had borne witness to the power of these thruths. Kerugma, "the thing preached, the message," is objective, having especially to do with the effect on the hearers; marturion is mainly subjective, having to do especially with the preacher's personal experience. In <a href='B:610 2:6'>1Ti 2:6</a> the RV is important, "the testimony (i.e., of the gospel) to be borne in its own times," i.e., in the times Divinely appointed for it, namely, the present age, from Pentecost till the church is complete. In <a href='B:730 15:5'>Rev 15:5</a>, in the phrase, "the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in Heaven," the "testimony" is the witness to the rights of God, denied and refused on earth, but about to be vindicated by the exercise of the judgments under the pouring forth of the seven bowls or vials of Divine retribution. See WITNESS. <p/> <2,,3141, marturia><p/> "witness, evidence, testimony," is almost always rendered "witness" in the RV (for AV, "testimony" in <a href='B:500 1:3-33'>Joh 1:3-33</a>, <a href='B:500 5:34'>Joh 5:34</a>, <a href='B:500 8:17'>Joh 8:17</a>, <a href='B:500 21:24'>Joh 21:24</a>, and always for AV, "record," e.g., <a href='B:690 1:5-11'>1Jo 1:5-11</a>), except in <a href='B:510 22:18'>Act 22:18</a> and in the Apocalypse, where both, with one exception, have "testimony," <a href='B:510 1:2'>Act 1:2</a>, is objective, the "testimony" or witness given to Him (cp. <a href='B:510 1:2'>Act 1:2</a>, <a href='B:510 1:9'>Act 1:9</a>; as to those who will bear it, see <a href='B:730 12:17'>Rev 12:17</a>, RV). The statement "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," is to be understood in the light, e.g., of the "testimony" concerning Christ and Israel in the Psalms, which will be used by the godly Jewish remnant in the coming time of "Jacob's Trouble." All such "testimony" centers in and points to Christ. See WITNESS.

<b>Then</b> <1,,5119, tote><p/> a demonstrative adverb of time, denoting "at that time," is used (a) of concurrent events, e.g., <a href='B:470 2:17'>Mat 2:17</a>, <a href='B:550 4:8'>Gal 4:8</a>, "at that time;" <a href='B:550 4:29'>Gal 4:29</a>, "then;" <a href='B:680 3:6'>2Pe 3:6</a>, "(the world) that then was," lit., "(the) then (world);" (b) of consequent events, "then, thereupon," e.g., <a href='B:470 2:7'>Mat 2:7</a>, <a href='B:490 11:26'>Luk 11:26</a>, <a href='B:490 16:16'>Luk 16:16</a>, "[from (AV, "since")] that time;" <a href='B:500 11:14'>Joh 11:14</a>, <a href='B:510 17:14'>Act 17:14</a>; (c) of things future, e.g., <a href='B:470 7:23'>Mat 7:23</a>, <a href='B:470 24:30'>Mat 24:30</a> (twice), <a href='B:470 24:40'>Mat 24:40</a>; eight times in ch. 25; <a href='B:530 4:5'>1Co 4:5</a>, <a href='B:550 6:4'>Gal 6:4</a>, <a href='B:590 5:3'>1Th 5:3</a>, <a href='B:600 2:8'>2Th 2:8</a>.

topic: They, They themselves
definition:
<b>They, They themselves</b> * Note: When not forming part of the translation of the 3rd pers., plur. of a verb, (1) these translate the plural of the pronouns under HE, in their various forms, autos, houtos, ekeinos, heautou. (2) In <a href='B:510 5:16'>Act 5:16</a>, hoitines, the plural of hostis, "anyone who," is translated "they;" so in <a href='B:510 23:14'>Act 23:14</a>, translated "and they;" in <a href='B:510 17:11'>Act 17:11</a>, "in that they" (some texts have it in <a href='B:470 25:3'>Mat 25:3</a>).

To avoid ambiguity the phrase may be paraphrased, 'so comes as a thief in the night comes.' The use of the present tense instead of the future emphasizes the certainty of the coming ... The unexpectedness of the coming of the thief, and the unpreparedness of those to whom he comes, are the essential elements in the figure; cp. the entirely different figure used in <a href='B:470 1:25-13'>Mat 1:25-13</a>." * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hoggand Vine, pp. 153,154.] <p/> <2,,3027, lestes><p/> is frequently rendered "thieves" in the AV, e.g., <a href='B:470 21:13'>Mat 21:13</a>.

See SAYING. <p/> Notes: (1) The neuter sing. and plur. of the article are frequently rendered "the thing" and neut. plur. of houtos, "this." (2) So in this case of the neut. plur. of certain pronouns and adjectives without nouns, e.g., "all," "base," "heavenly," "which." (3) When "thing" represents a separate word in the original, it is a translation of one or other of Nos. 1,2,3, above. (4) In <a href='B:570 2:10'>Phi 2:10</a>, "things" is added in italics to express the meaning of the three adjectives.

The saying appears to be proverbial, perhaps a rabbinical adage. Since, however, grapho, "to write," was a current term for framing a law or an agreement (so Deissmann, Bible Studies, and Moulton and Milligan, Vocab.), it is quite possible that the Apostle's meaning is "not to go beyond the terms of a teacher's commission, thinking more of himself than the character of his commission allows;" this accords with the context and the whole passage, <a href='B:530 3:1'>1Co 3:1</a>-<a href='B:530 1:4'>4:5</a>.

Field, following others, adopts the meaning "putting (his garment) over (his head)," as an expression of grief. Others regard it as having here the same meaning as archomai, "to begin" (at an early period, indeed, archomai was substituted in the text for the authentic epiballo); Moulton confirms this form a papyrus writing. Another suggestion is to understand it as with dianoian, mind, i.e., "casting his mind thereon." <p/> Notes: (1) In <a href='B:510 26:8'>Act 26:8</a>, AV, krino, "to judge, reckon," is translated "should it be thought" (RV, "is it judged"). (2) In <a href='B:490 12:17'>Luk 12:17</a>, AV, dialogizomai, "to reason" (RV, "reasoned"), is translated "thought." (3) In <a href='B:520 12:3'>Rom 12:3</a>, sophroneo, "to think soberly," RV, is, lit., "unto sober thinking," the infinitive mood of the verb being used as a noun (AV marg., "to sobriety"): Cp.

topic: Thorn, Thorns (of)
definition:
<b>Thorn, Thorns (of)</b> <A-1,Noun,173, akantha><p/> "a brier, a thorn" (from ake, "a point"), is always used in the plural in the NT, <a href='B:470 7:16'>Mat 7:16</a> and parallel passage in <a href='B:490 6:44'>Luk 6:44</a>, <a href='B:470 13:7'>Mat 13:7</a> (twice), <a href='B:470 13:22'>Mat 13:22</a> and parallels in Mark and Luke; in <a href='B:470 27:29'>Mat 27:29</a>, <a href='B:500 19:2'>Joh 19:2</a>, of the crown of "thorns" placed on Christ's head (see also B) in mock imitation of the garlands worn by emperors. They were the effects of the Divine curse on the ground (<a href='B:10 3:18'>Gen 3:18</a>; contrast <a href='B:290 55:13'>Isa 55:13</a>). The "thorns" of the crown plaited by the soldiers, are usually identified with those of the Zizyphus spina Christi, some 20 feet high or more, fringing the Jordan and abundant in Palestine; its twigs are flexible. Another species, however, the Arabian qundaul, crowns of which are plaited and sold in Jerusalem as representatives of Christ's crown, seems likely to be the one referred to. The branches are easily woven and adapted to the torture intended. The word akantha occurs also in <a href='B:650 6:8'>Heb 6:8</a>. <p/> <A-2,Noun,4647, skolops><p/> originally denoted "anything pointed," e.g., "a stake;" in Hellenistic vernacular, "a thorn" (so the Sept., in <a href='B:40 33:55'>Num 33:55</a>, <a href='B:330 28:24'>Eze 28:24</a>, <a href='B:350 2:6'>Hos 2:6</a>), <a href='B:540 12:7'>2Co 12:7</a>, of the Apostle's "thorn in the flesh;" his language indicates that it was physical, painful, humiliating; it was also the effect of Divinely permitted Satanic antagonism; the verbs rendered "that I should (not) be exalted overmuch" (RV) and "to buffet" are in the present tense, signifying recurrent action, indicating a constantly repeated attack. Lightfoot interprets it as "a stake driven through the flesh," and Ramsay agrees with this. Most commentators adhere to the rendering "thorn." Field says "there is no doubt that the Alexandrine use of skolops for thorn is here intended, and that the ordinary meaning of 'stake' must be rejected." What is stressed is not the metaphorical size, but the acuteness of the suffering and its effects. Attempts to connect this with the circumstances of <a href='B:510 14:19'>Act 14:19</a>, <a href='B:550 4:13'>Gal 4:13</a> are speculative. <p/> <B-1,Adjective,174, akanthinos><p/> "of thorns" (from A, No. 1), is used in <a href='B:480 15:17'>Mar 15:17</a>, <a href='B:500 19:5'>Joh 19:5</a>. In the Sept., <a href='B:290 34:13'>Isa 34:13</a>.


topic: Thoroughly (thoroughly)
definition:
<b>Thoroughly (thoroughly)</b> * Note: This is usually part of the translation of a verb, e.g., CLEANSE, FURNISH, PURGE. In <a href='B:540 11:6'>2Co 11:6</a>, the phrase en panti, "in everything," RV, is translated "throughly" in the AV.


topic: Thou
definition:
<b>Thou</b> * Note: Frequently this forms part of the translation of a verb in the 2nd person, singular. Otherwise it translates (a) the pronoun su, used for emphasis or contrast, e.g., <a href='B:500 1:19'>Joh 1:19</a>, <a href='B:500 1:21'>Joh 1:21</a> (twice), <a href='B:500 1:25'>Joh 1:25</a>, <a href='B:500 1:42'>Joh 1:42</a> (twice); <a href='B:500 8:5'>Joh 8:5</a>, <a href='B:500 8:13'>Joh 8:13</a>, <a href='B:500 8:25'>Joh 8:25</a>, <a href='B:500 8:33'>Joh 8:33</a>, <a href='B:500 8:48'>Joh 8:48</a>, <a href='B:500 1:8-53'>Joh 1:8-53</a>, <a href='B:510 9:5'>Act 9:5</a>; in addressing a person or place, e.g., <a href='B:470 2:6'>Mat 2:6</a>, <a href='B:490 1:76'>Luk 1:76</a>, <a href='B:500 17:5'>Joh 17:5</a>; perhaps also in the phrase su eipas, "thou hast said," e.g., <a href='B:470 26:64'>Mat 26:64</a> (sometimes without emphasis, e.g., <a href='B:510 13:33'>Act 13:33</a>); (b) in the oblique cases, e.g., the dative soi, lit., "to thee," e.g., <a href='B:470 17:25'>Mat 17:25</a>, "what thinkest thou?" (lit., "what does it seem to thee?"); (c) autos, "self," e.g., <a href='B:490 6:42'>Luk 6:42</a>, <a href='B:510 21:24'>Act 21:24</a>, "thou thyself;" (d) the reflexive pronoun, seauton, <a href='B:520 2:19'>Rom 2:19</a>, "thou thyself."

That there are those who bear witness in Heaven is not borne out by any other Scripture.

topic: Thunder, Thundering
definition:
<b>Thunder, Thundering</b> <1,,1027, bronte><p/> in <a href='B:480 3:17'>Mar 3:17</a> "sons of thunder" is the interpretation of Boanerges, the name applied by the Lord to James and John; their firey disposition is seen in <a href='B:480 9:38'>Mar 9:38</a>, <a href='B:490 9:54'>Luk 9:54</a>; perhaps in the case of James it led to his execution. The name and its interpretation have caused much difficulty; some suggest the meaning "the twins." It is however most probably the equivalent of the Aramaic bene regesh, "sons of tumult;" the latter of the two words was no doubt used of "thunder" in Palestinian Aramaic; hence the meaning "the sons of thunder;" the cognate Hebrew word ragash, "to rage," is used in <a href='B:230 2:1'>Psa 2:1</a> and there only. In <a href='B:500 12:29'>Joh 12:29</a> bronte is used with ginomai, "to take place," and rendered "it had thundered;" lit., "there was thunder;" elsewhere, <a href='B:730 4:5'>Rev 4:5</a>, <a href='B:730 6:1'>Rev 6:1</a>, <a href='B:730 8:5'>Rev 8:5</a>, <a href='B:730 1:10-4'>Rev 1:10-4</a>, <a href='B:730 11:19'>Rev 11:19</a>, <a href='B:730 14:2'>Rev 14:2</a>, <a href='B:730 16:18'>Rev 16:18</a>, <a href='B:730 19:6'>Rev 19:6</a>.

topic: Title
definition:
<b>Title</b> <1,,5102, titlos><p/> from Latin titulus, is used of the inscription above the Cross of Christ, <a href='B:500 1:19-20'>Joh 1:19-20</a>. See SUPERSCRIPTION. <p/> <2,,2762,keraia / kerea> "a little horn" (keras, "a horn"), was used to denote the small stroke distinguishing one Hebrew letter from another. The rabbis attached great importance to these; hence the significance of the Lord's statements in <a href='B:470 5:18'>Mat 5:18</a>, <a href='B:490 16:17'>Luk 16:17</a>, charging the Pharisees with hypocrisy, because, while professing the most scrupulous reverence to the Law, they violated its spirit. Grammarians used the word to denote the accents in Greek words.


topic: Today, this day
definition:
<b>Today, this day</b> <1,,4594, semeron><p/> an adverb (the Attic form is temeron), akin to hemera, a day, with the prefix t originally representing a pronoun. It is used frequently in Matthew, Luke and Acts; in the last it is always rendered "this day;" also in <a href='B:650 1:5'>Heb 1:5</a>, and the RV of <a href='B:650 5:5'>Heb 5:5</a> (AV, "to day") in the same quotation; "today" in <a href='B:650 3:7'>Heb 3:7</a>, <a href='B:650 3:13'>Heb 3:13</a>, <a href='B:650 3:15'>Heb 3:15</a>, <a href='B:650 4:7'>Heb 4:7</a> (twice); <a href='B:650 13:8'>Heb 13:8</a>; also <a href='B:660 4:13'>Jam 4:13</a>. <p/> The clause containing semeron is sometimes introduced by the conjunction hoti, "that," e.g., <a href='B:480 14:30'>Mar 14:30</a>, <a href='B:490 4:21'>Luk 4:21</a>, <a href='B:490 19:9'>Luk 19:9</a>; sometimes without the conjunction, e.g., <a href='B:490 22:34'>Luk 22:34</a>, <a href='B:490 23:43'>Luk 23:43</a>, where "today" is to be attached to the next statement, "shalt thou be with Me;" there are no grammatical reasons for the insistence that the connection must be with the statement "Verily I say unto thee," nor is such an idea necessitated by examples from either the Sept. or the NT; the connection given in the AV and RV is right. <p/> In <a href='B:520 11:8'>Rom 11:8</a>, <a href='B:540 1:3-15'>2Co 1:3-15</a>, the lit. rendering is "unto the today day," the emphasis being brought out by the RV, "unto (until) this very day." <p/> In <a href='B:650 4:7'>Heb 4:7</a>, the "today" of <a href='B:230 95:7'>Psa 95:7</a> is evidently designed to extend to the present period of the Christian faith.

See EARLY, Note, WITHAL. <p/> Notes: (1) For pamplethei, <a href='B:490 23:18'>Luk 23:18</a>, RV, see ONCE, Note. (2) In <a href='B:590 5:11'>1Th 5:11</a>, AV, allelous, "one another" (RV), is rendered "yourselves together;" in <a href='B:490 23:12'>Luk 23:12</a>, AV, meta allelon, lit., "with one another," is rendered "together" (RV, "with each other"); so in <a href='B:490 24:14'>Luk 24:14</a>, AV, pros allelous, RV, "with each other." (3) In the following, "together" translates the phrase epi to auto, lit., "to (upon, or for) the same," <a href='B:470 22:34'>Mat 22:34</a>, <a href='B:490 17:35'>Luk 17:35</a>, <a href='B:510 1:15'>Act 1:15</a>, <a href='B:510 2:44'>Act 2:44</a> (<a href='B:510 3:1'>Act 3:1</a>, in some texts); <a href='B:510 4:26'>Act 4:26</a>, <a href='B:530 7:5'>1Co 7:5</a>, <a href='B:530 14:23'>1Co 14:23</a>, RV: see PLACE, A, Note (7). (4) In <a href='B:510 14:1'>Act 14:1</a>, it translates kata to auto, "at the same;" it may mean "in the same way" (i.e., as they had entered the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch). (5) In many cases "together" forms part of another word.


topic: Toil (Verb and Noun)
definition:
<b>Toil (Verb and Noun)</b> <A-1,Verb,2872, kopiao><p/> "to be weary, to labor," is rendered "to toil" in <a href='B:470 6:28'>Mat 6:28</a>, <a href='B:490 5:5'>Luk 5:5</a> (<a href='B:490 12:27'>Luk 12:27</a>, in some mss.); in <a href='B:530 4:12'>1Co 4:12</a>, RV (AV, "we labor"). See LABOR. <p/> <A-2,Verb,928, basanizo><p/> primarily, "to rub on the touchstone, to put to the test," then, "to examine by torture" (basanos, "touchstone, torment"), hence denotes "to torture, torment, distress;" in the Passive Voice it is rendered "toiling" in <a href='B:480 6:48'>Mar 6:48</a>, AV (RV, "distressed"). See PAIN, TORMENT, VEX. <p/> <B-1,Noun,2873, kopos><p/> "labor, trouble," is rendered "toil" in <a href='B:730 2:2'>Rev 2:2</a>, RV (AV, "labor"). See LABOR.

See MIRACLE, SIGN. <p/> <2,,4953, sussemon><p/> "a fixed sign or signal, agreed upon with others" (sun, "with"), is used in <a href='B:480 14:44'>Mar 14:44</a>, "a token." In the Sept., <a href='B:70 20:38'>Jdg 20:38</a>, <a href='B:70 20:40'>Jdg 20:40</a>, <a href='B:290 5:26'>Isa 5:26</a>, <a href='B:290 49:22'>Isa 49:22</a>, <a href='B:290 62:10'>Isa 62:10</a>. <p/> <3,,1730, endeigma><p/> "a plain token, a proof" (akin to endeiknumi, "to point out, prove") is used in <a href='B:600 1:5'>2Th 1:5</a> "a manifest token," said of the patient endurance and faith of the persecuted saints at Thessalonica, affording proof to themselves of their new life, and a guarantee of the vindication by God of both Himself and them (see No. 4, Note). <p/> <4,,1732, endeixis><p/> "a pointing out, showing forth," is rendered "evident token" in <a href='B:570 1:28'>Phi 1:28</a>. See DECLARE, B, PROOF. Cp. apodeixis, <a href='B:530 2:4'>1Co 2:4</a>. <p/> Note: No. 4 refers to the act or process of proving, No. 3 to the thing proved. While the two passges, <a href='B:570 1:28'>Phi 1:28</a> and <a href='B:600 1:5'>2Th 1:5</a>, contain similar ideas, endeigma indicates the "token" as acknowledged by those referred to; endeixis points more especially to the inherent veracity of the "token."


topic: Tolerable

(<a href='B:530 14:6'>1Co 14:6</a>). "Tongues" were for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers, <a href='B:530 14:22'>1Co 14:22</a>, and especially to unbelieving Jews (see <a href='B:530 14:21'>1Co 14:21</a>): cp. the passages in the Acts. <p/> There is no evidence of the continuance of this gift after apostolic times nor indeed in the later times of the Apostles themselves; this provides confirmation of the fulfillment in this way of <a href='B:530 13:8'>1Co 13:8</a>, that this gift would cease in the churches, just as would "prophecies" and "knowledge" in the sense of knowledge received by immediate supernatural power (cp. <a href='B:530 14:6'>1Co 14:6</a>).

The decrees having been passed, he sealed them with the public seal in the presence of witnesses. Such an assembly frequently met in the theater. The Roman administration viewed any irregular or unruly assembly as a grave and even capital offense, as tending to strengthen among the people the consciousness of their power and the desire to exercise it. In the circumstances at Ephesus the town clerk feared that he might himself be held responsible for the irregular gathering. See SCRIBE.

See PAIN, No. 2, SORROW. <p/> <B-1,Verb,5605, odino><p/> akin to A, No. 2, is used negatively in <a href='B:550 4:27'>Gal 4:27</a>, "(thou) that travailest (not)," quoted from <a href='B:290 54:1'>Isa 54:1</a>; the Apostle applies the circumstances of Sarah and Hagar (which doubtless Isaiah was recalling) to show that, whereas the promise by grace had temporarily been replaced by the works of the Law (see <a href='B:550 3:17'>Gal 3:17</a>), this was now reversed, and, in the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham, the number of those saved by the Gospel would far exceed those who owned allegiance to the Law. Isa. 54 has primary reference to the future prosperity of Israel restored to God's favor, but frequently the principles underlying events recorded in the OT extend beyond their immediate application. <p/> In <a href='B:550 4:19'>Gal 4:19</a> the Apostle uses it metaphorically of a second travailing on his part regarding the churches of Galatia; his first was for their deliverance from idolatry (<a href='B:550 4:8'>Gal 4:8</a>), now it was for their deliverance from bondage to Judaism. There is no suggestion here of a second regeneration necessitated by defection.

definition:
<b>Triumph</b> <1,,2358, thriambeuo><p/> denotes (a) "to lead in triumph," used of a conqueror with reference to the vanquished, <a href='B:540 2:14'>2Co 2:14</a>. Theodoret paraphrases it "He leads us about here and there and displays us to all the world." This is in agreement with evidences from various sources. Those who are led are not captives exposed to humiliation, but are displayed as the glory and devoted subjects of Him who leads (see the context). This is so even if there is a reference to a Roman "triumph." On such occasions the general's sons, with various officers, rode behind his chariot (Livy, xlv. 40). but there is no necessary reference here to a Roman "triumph" (Field, in Notes on the Trans. of the NT). The main thought is that of the display, "in Christ" being the sphere; its evidences are the effects of gospel testimony. <p/> In <a href='B:580 2:15'>Col 2:15</a> the circumstances and subjects are quite different, and relate to Christ's victory over spiritual foes at the time of His death; accordingly the reference may be to the triumphant display of the defeated.

The injunctions were neither Jewish, which required men to be veiled in prayer, nor Greek, by which men and women were alike "unveiled." The Apostle's instructions were "the commandment of the Lord" (<a href='B:530 14:37'>1Co 14:37</a>) and were for all the churches (<a href='B:530 1:14-34'>1Co 1:14-34</a>). <p/> Note: For the verb anakalupto, rendered "unveiled" in <a href='B:540 3:18'>2Co 3:18</a>, RV, see UNLIFTED (2nd ref.).

topic: Village
definition:
<b>Village</b> <1,,2968, kome><p/> "a village," or "country town," primarily as distinct from a walled town, occurs in the Gospels; elsewhere only in <a href='B:510 8:25'>Act 8:25</a>. The difference between polis, "a city," and kome, is maintained in the NT, as in Josephus. Among the Greeks the point of the distinction was not that of size or fortification, but of constitution and land. In the OT the city and the village are regularly distinguished. The Mishna makes the three distinctions, a large city, a city, and a village. The RV always substitutes "village(-s)" for AV, "town(-s)," <a href='B:470 10:11'>Mat 10:11</a>, <a href='B:480 8:23'>Mar 8:23</a>, <a href='B:480 1:8-27'>Mar 1:8-27</a>, <a href='B:490 5:17'>Luk 5:17</a>, <a href='B:490 9:6'>Luk 9:6</a>, <a href='B:490 9:12'>Luk 9:12</a>, <a href='B:500 7:42'>Joh 7:42</a>, <a href='B:500 11:1'>Joh 11:1</a>, <a href='B:500 11:30'>Joh 11:30</a>. See TOWN.


topic: Villany

<b>Villany</b> <1,,4468, rhadiourgia><p/> lit. and primarily denotes "ease in working" (rhadios, "easy," ergon, "work"), "easiness, laziness;" hence "recklessness, wickedness," <a href='B:510 13:10'>Act 13:10</a>, RV, "villany," AV, "mischief." In the papyri it is used of "theft." <p/> <2,,4467, rhadiourgema><p/> "a reckless act" (akin to No. 1), occurs in <a href='B:510 18:14'>Act 18:14</a>, RV, "villany" (AV, "lewdness").


topic: Vine, Vintage
definition:
<b>Vine, Vintage</b> <1,,288, ampelos><p/> is used (a) lit., e.g., <a href='B:470 26:29'>Mat 26:29</a> and parallel passages; <a href='B:660 3:12'>Jam 3:12</a>; (b) figuratively, (1) of Christ, <a href='B:500 15:1'>Joh 15:1</a>, <a href='B:500 1:15-5'>Joh 1:15-5</a>; (2) of His enemies, <a href='B:730 1:14-19'>Rev 1:14-19</a>, "the vine of the earth" (RV, "vintage" in <a href='B:730 14:19'>Rev 14:19</a>), probably figurative of the remaining mass of apostate Christendom.

<b>Vinedresser</b> <1,,289, ampelourgos><p/> "a worker in a vineyard" (from ampelos, "a vine," and ergon), is rendered "vinedresser" in <a href='B:490 13:7'>Luk 13:7</a>, RV (AV, "dresser of the vineyard").


topic: Vinegar
definition:
<b>Vinegar</b> <1,,3690, oxos><p/> akin to oxus, "sharp," denotes "sour wine," the ordinary drink of laborers and common soldiers; it is used in the four Gospels of the "vinegar" offered to the Lord at His crucifixion. In <a href='B:470 27:34'>Mat 27:34</a> the best texts have oinos, "wine" (RV). Some have oxos (AV, "vinegar"), but <a href='B:480 15:23'>Mar 15:23</a> (AV and RV) confirms the RV in the passage in Matthew. This which the soldiers offered before crucifying, was refused by Him, as it was designed to alleviate His sufferings; the "vinegar" is mentioned in <a href='B:480 15:36'>Mar 15:36</a>; so <a href='B:490 23:36'>Luk 23:36</a>, <a href='B:500 1:19-30'>Joh 1:19-30</a>. In the Sept., <a href='B:40 6:3'>Num 6:3</a>, <a href='B:80 2:14'>Rth 2:14</a>, <a href='B:230 69:21'>Psa 69:21</a>, <a href='B:240 25:20'>Pro 25:20</a>.

definition:
<b>Violence, Violent, Violently</b> <A-1,Noun,970, bia><p/> denotes "force, violence," said of men, <a href='B:510 5:26'>Act 5:26</a>, <a href='B:510 21:35'>Act 21:35</a>, <a href='B:510 24:7'>Act 24:7</a>; of waves, <a href='B:510 27:41'>Act 27:41</a>. <p/> <A-2,Noun,3731, hormema><p/> "a rush" (akin to hormao, "to urge on, to rush"), is used of the fall of Babylon, <a href='B:730 18:21'>Rev 18:21</a>, AV, "violence," RV, "mighty fall." <p/> <A-3,Noun,973, biastes><p/> "a forceful or violent man," is used in <a href='B:470 11:12'>Mat 11:12</a>. See FORCE, B, No. 1, Note. <p/> Note: In <a href='B:650 11:34'>Heb 11:34</a>, AV, dunamis, "power" (RV), is rendered "violence." <p/> <B-1,Verb,1286, diaseio><p/> "to shake violently," is used in <a href='B:490 3:14'>Luk 3:14</a>, "do violence," including intimidation. In the Sept., <a href='B:220 4:14'>Job 4:14</a>. <p/> <B-2,Verb,971, biazo><p/> in the Passive Voice, is rendered "suffereth violence" in <a href='B:470 11:12'>Mat 11:12</a>; see FORCE, B, Nos. 1 and 2. Some, e.g., Cremer (Lexicon) and Dalman (Words of Jesus, pp. 139,ff.), hold that the reference is to the antagonism of the enemies of the kingdom, but <a href='B:490 16:16'>Luk 16:16</a> (Middle Voice: RV, "entereth violently") indicates the meaning as referring to those who make an effort to enter the kingdom in spite of violent opposition: see PRESS, A, No. 3. <p/> Note: For hormao, rendered "ran violently," in <a href='B:470 8:32'>Mat 8:32</a> and parallels, see RUN, RUSH.


topic: Viper
definition:
<b>Viper</b> <1,,2191, echidna><p/> is probably a generic term for "poisonous snakes." It is rendered "viper" in the NT, (a) of the actual creature, <a href='B:510 28:3'>Act 28:3</a>; (b) metaphorically in <a href='B:470 3:7'>Mat 3:7</a>, <a href='B:470 12:34'>Mat 12:34</a>, <a href='B:470 23:33'>Mat 23:33</a>, <a href='B:490 3:7'>Luk 3:7</a>.


topic: Virgin
definition:
<b>Virgin</b> <1,,3933, parthenos><p/> is used (a) of "the Virgin Mary," <a href='B:470 1:23'>Mat 1:23</a>, <a href='B:490 1:27'>Luk 1:27</a>; (b) of the ten "virgins" in the parable, <a href='B:470 25:1'>Mat 25:1</a>, <a href='B:470 25:7'>Mat 25:7</a>, <a href='B:470 25:11'>Mat 25:11</a>; (c) of the "daughters" of Philip the evangelist, <a href='B:510 21:9'>Act 21:9</a>; (d) those concerning whom the Apostle Paul gives instructions regarding marriage, <a href='B:530 7:25'>1Co 7:25</a>, <a href='B:530 7:28'>1Co 7:28</a>, <a href='B:530 7:34'>1Co 7:34</a>; in <a href='B:530 1:7-38'>1Co 1:7-38</a>, the subject passes to that of "virgin daughters" (RV), which almost certainly formed one of the subjects upon which the church at Corinth sent for instructions from the Apostle; one difficulty was relative to the discredit which might be brought upon a father (or guardian), if he allowed his daughter or ward to grow old unmarried. The interpretation that this passage refers to a man and woman already in some kind of relation by way of a spiritual marriage and living together in a vow of virginity and celibacy, is untenable if only in view of the phraseology of the passage; (e) figuratively, of "a local church" in its relation to Christ, <a href='B:540 11:2'>2Co 11:2</a>; (f) metaphorically of "chaste persons," <a href='B:730 14:4'>Rev 14:4</a>.

topic: Virtue
definition:
<b>Virtue</b> <1,,703, arete><p/> properly denotes whatever procures preeminent estimation for a person or thing; hence, "intrinsic eminence, moral goodness, virtue," (a) of God, <a href='B:670 2:9'>1Pe 2:9</a>, "excellencies" (AV, "praises"); here the original and general sense seems to be blended with the impression made on others, i.e., renown, excellence or praise (Hort); in <a href='B:680 1:3'>2Pe 1:3</a>, "(by His own glory and) virtue," RV (instrumental dative), i.e., the manifestation of His Divine power; this significance is frequently illustrated in the papyri and was evidently common in current Greek speech; (b) of any particular moral excellence, <a href='B:570 4:8'>Phi 4:8</a>, <a href='B:680 1:5'>2Pe 1:5</a> (twice), where virtue is enjoined as an essential quality in the excercise of faith, RV, "(in your faith supply) virtue." <p/> Note: In the AV of <a href='B:480 5:30'>Mar 5:30</a>, <a href='B:490 6:19'>Luk 6:19</a>, <a href='B:490 8:46'>Luk 8:46</a>, dunamis, "power" (RV), is rendered "virtue."
