Oath — Ox

Oath

1: ὅρκος
(Strong's #3727 — Noun Masculine — horkos — hor'-kos, her'-kos )

is primarily equivalent to herkos, "a fence, an enclosure, that which restrains a person;" hence, "an oath." The Lord's command in Matthew 5:33 was a condemnation of the minute and arbitrary restrictions imposed by the scribes and Pharisees in the matter of adjurations, by which God's Name was profaned. The injunction is repeated in James 5:12 . The language of the Apostle Paul, e.g., in Galatians 1:20 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:27 was not inconsistent with Christ's prohibition, read in the light of its context. Contrast the "oaths" mentioned in Matthew 14:7, 9 ; Matthew 26:72 ; Mark 6:26 .

Hebrews 6:16 refers to the confirmation of a compact among men, guaranteeing the discharge of liabilities; in their disputes "the oath is final for confirmation." This is referred to in order to illustrate the greater subject of God's "oath" to Abraham, confirming His promise; cp. Luke 1:73 ; Acts 2:30 . Cp. the verbs horkizo, and exorkizo, under ADJURE.

2: ὁρκωμοσία
(Strong's #3728 — Noun Feminine — horkomosia — hor-ko-mos-ee'-ah )

denotes "an affirmation on oath" (from No. 1 and omnumi, "to swear"). This is used in Hebrews 7:20, 21 (twice),28 of the establishment of the Priesthood of Christ, the Son of God, appointed a Priest after the order of Melchizedek, and "perfected for evermore." In the Sept., Ezekiel 17:18, 19 .

Note: For anathematizo in Acts 23:21 , AV, "have bound (themselves) with an oath," see CURSE.

Obedience, Obedient, Obey

A — 1: ὑπακοή
(Strong's #5218 — Noun Feminine — hupakoe — hoop-ak-o-ay' )

"obedience" (hupo, "under," akouo, "to hear"), is used (a) in general, Romans 6:16 (1st part), RV, "(unto) obedience," AV, "(to) obey;" here "obedience" is not personified, as in the next part of the verse, "servants ... of obedience" [see (c)], but is simply shown to be the effect of the presentation mentioned; (b) of the fulfillment of apostolic counsels, 2 Corinthians 7:15 ; 2 Corinthians 10:6 ; Philemon 1:21 ; (c) of the fulfillment of God's claims or commands, Romans 1:5 ; Romans 16:26 , "obedience of faith," which grammatically might be objective, to the faith (marg.), or subjective, as in the text. Since faith is one of the main subjects of the Epistle, and is the initial act of obedience in the new life, as well as an essential characteristic thereof, the text rendering is to be preferred; Romans 6:16 (2nd part); 15:18, RV "(for) the obedience," AV, "(to make) obedient;" Romans 16:19 ; 1 Peter 1:2, 14 , RV, "(children of) obedience," i.e., characterized by "obedience," AV, "obedient (children);" 1 Peter 1:22 , RV, "obedience (to the truth)," AV, "obeying (the truth);" (d) of "obedience" to Christ (objective), 2 Corinthians 10:5 ; (e) of Christ's "obedience," Romans 5:19 (referring to His death; cp. Philippians 2:8 ); Hebrews 5:8 , which refers to His delighted experience in constant "obedience" to the Father's will (not to be understood in the sense that He learned to obey).

A — 2: ὑποταγή
(Strong's #5292 — Noun Feminine — hupotage — hoop-ot-ag-ay' )

subjection (hupo, "under," tasso, "to order"), is translated "obedience" in 2 Corinthians 9:13 , RV (AV, "subjection"). See SUBJECTION.

B — 1: ὑπακούω
(Strong's #5219 — Verb — hupakouo — hoop-ak-oo'-o )

"to listen, attend" (as in Acts 12:13 ), and so, "to submit, to obey," is used of "obedience" (a) to God Hebrews 5:9 ; Hebrews 11:8 ; (b) to Christ, by natural elements, Matthew 8:27 ; Mark 1:27 ; Mark 4:41 ; Luke 8:25 ; (c) to disciples of Christ, Luke 17:6 ; (d) to the faith, Acts 6:7 ; the Gospel, Romans 10:16 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:8 ; Christian doctrine, Romans 6:17 (as to a form or mold of teaching); (e) to apostolic injunctions, Philippians 2:12 ; 2 Thessalonians 3:14 ; (f) to Abraham by Sarah, 1 Peter 3:6 ; (g) to parents by children, Ephesians 6:1 ; Colossians 3:20 ; (h) to masters by servants, Ephesians 6:5 ; Colossians 3:22 ; (i) to sin, Romans 6:12 ; (j) in general, Romans 6:16 .

B — 2: πείθω
(Strong's #3982 — Verb — peitho — pi'-tho )

"to persuade, to win over," in the Passive and Middle Voices, "to be persuaded, to listen to, to obey," is so used with this meaning, in the Middle Voice, e.g., in Acts 5:36-37 (in Acts 5:40 , Passive Voice, "they agreed"); Romans 2:8 ; Galatians 5:7 ; Hebrews 13:17 ; James 3:3 . The "obedience" suggested is not by submission to authority, but resulting from persuasion.

"Peitho and pisteuo" 'to trust,' are closely related etymologically; the difference in meaning is that the former implies the obedience that is produced by the latter, cp. Hebrews 3:18, 19 , where the disobedience of the Israelites is said to be the evidence of their unbelief. Faith is of the heart, invisible to men; obedience is of the conduct and may be observed. When a man obeys God he gives the only possible evidence that in his heart he believes God. Of course it is persuasion of the truth that results in faith (we believe because we are persuaded that the thing is true, a thing does not become true because it is believed), but peitho, in NT suggests an actual and outward result of the inward persuasion and consequent faith." * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 254,255.] See ASSURANCE , B, No. 3.

B — 3: πειθαρχέω
(Strong's #3980 — Verb — peitharcheo — pi-tharkh-eh'-o )

B — 4: ἀπειθέω
(Strong's #544 — Verb — apeitheo — ap-i-theh'-o )

"to disobey, be disobedient" (a, negative, and No. 2), is translated "obey not" in Romans 2:8 ; 1 Peter 3:1 ; 1 Peter 4:17 . See DISOBEDIENT.

Note: In 1 Corinthians 14:34 , AV, hupotasso, "to be in subjection" (RV), is translated "to be under obedience;" so Titus 2:5 , RV, "being in subjection" (AV, "obedient"); and Titus 2:9 , RV (AV, "to be obedient"). See SUBJECTION.

C — 1: ὑπήκοος
(Strong's #5255 — Adjective — hupekoos — hoop-ay'-ko-os )

"obedient" (akin to A, No. 1), "giving ear, subject," occurs in Acts 7:39 , RV, "(would not be) obedient," AV, "(would not) obey;" 2 Corinthians 2:9 ; Philippians 2:8 , where the RV "even" is useful as making clear that the "obedience" was not to death but to the Father.

Objects

* For OBJECTS, RV, in Acts 17:23 , see WORSHIP

"to watch closely, observe narrowly" (para, used intensively, and No. 2), is translated "ye observe" in Galatians 4:10 , where the Middle Voice suggests that their religious observance of days, etc. was not from disinterested motives, but with a view to their own advantage. See WATCH. Cp. phroneo ("to think"), "regardeth" in Romans 14:6 , where the subject is connected with the above, though the motive differs.

(Strong's #2147 — Verb — heurisko — hyoo-ris'-ko )

denotes "to find;" in the Middle Voice, "to find for oneself, to procure, get, obtain," with the suggestion of accomplishing the end which had been in view; so in Hebrews 9:12 , "having obtained (eternal redemption)." Notes: (1) In 1 Corinthians 9:24 , AV, katalambano, a strengthened form of No. 6 (kata, used intensively), is translated "obtain" (RV, "attain").

In the Sept. the noun has the meaning (b) in Haggai 2:10 ; Malachi 3:17 , (c) in 2 Chronicles 14:13 .

Occasion

1: ἀφορμή
(Strong's #874 — Noun Feminine — aphorme — af-or-may' )

properly "a starting point," was used to denote "a base of operations in war." In the NT it occurs as follows: "(a) the Law provided sin with a base of operations for its attack upon the soul, Romans 7:8, 11 ; (b) the irreproachable conduct of the Apostle provided his friends with a base of operations against his detractors, 2 Corinthians 5:12 ; (c) by refusing temporal support at Corinth he deprived these detractors of their base of operations against him, 2 Corinthians 11:12 ; (d) Christian freedom is not to provide a base of operations for the flesh, Galatians 5:13 ; (e) unguarded behavior on the part of young widows (and the same is true of all believers) would provide Satan with a base of operations against the faith, 1 Timothy 5:14 ." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, P. 269.]

The word is found frequently in the papyri with meanings which illustrate those in the NT. In the Sept., Proverbs 9:9 ; Ezekiel 5:7 .

Notes: (1) For the RV renderings "occasion (or 'occasions') of stumbling," "occasion of falling," see FALLING , B, Note (3), OFFENSE. (2) In 2 Corinthians 8:8 , AV, the phrase "by occasion of" translates the preposition dia, "through, by means of" (RV, "through").

Occupation

* For OCCUPATION, Acts 18:3 , AV, see TRADE Notes: The phrase "of like occupation" in Acts 19:25 translates the phrase peri ("about") ta ("the") toiauta ("such things"), i.e., lit., "(occupied) about such things."

Occupy

1: περιπατέω
(Strong's #4043 — Verb — peripateo — per-ee-pat-eh'-o )

"to walk," is sometimes used of the state in which one is living, or of that to which a person is given, e.g., Hebrews 13:9 , "(meats, wherein they that) occupied themselves," RV (marg., "walked;" AV, "have been occupied"), i.e., exercising themselves about different kinds of food, regarding some as lawful, others as unlawful (referring especially to matters of the ceremonial details of the law).

Notes: (1) For "occupy," in the AV of Luke 19:13 , see TRADE. (2) For "occupieth," in the AV of 1 Corinthians 14:16 , see FILL , No. 2.

Odor

1: ὀσμή
(Strong's #3744 — Noun Feminine — osme — os-may' )

The word is translated "savor" in 2 Corinthians 2:14, 16 (twice).

Note: For thumiama, "incense," translated "odors" in the AV of Revelation 5:8 (RV, "incense"), see INCENSE. For amomon (quoted in RV marg. in the Latinized form amomum) in Revelation 18:13 , see SPICE.

Of

* Note: (1) In addition to the rendering of a number of prepositions, "of" translates the genitive case of nouns, with various shades of meaning. Of these the subjective and objective are mentioned here, which need careful distinction. Thus the phrase "the love of God," e.g., in 1 John 2:5 ; 1 John 3:16 , is subjective, signifying "God's love;" in 1 John 5:3 , it is objective, signifying our love to God. Again, "the witness of God," e.g., 1 John 5:9 , is subjective, signifying the witness which God Himself has given; in Revelation 1:2, 9 ; Revelation 19:10 , e.g., "the testimony of Jesus" is objective, signifying the testimony borne to Him. In the AV "the faith of" is sometimes ambiguous; with reference to Christ it is objective, i.e., faith in Him, not His own faith, in the following passages in which the RV, "in" gives the correct meaning; Romans 3:22 ; Galatians 2:16 (twice),20, RV, "I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God;" Galatians 3:22 ; Ephesians 3:12 ; Philippians 3:9 (cp. Colossians 2:12 , "faith in the working of God"). In Ephesians 2:20 , "the foundation of the apostles and prophets" is subjective, i.e., the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets ("other foundation can no man lay than ... Jesus Christ," 1 Corinthians 3:11 ). (2) In the AV of John 16:13 , "He shall not speak of Himself," the preposition is apo, "from," as in the RV; the Spirit of God often speaks of Himself in Scripture, the Lord's assurance was that the Holy Spirit would not be the source of His utterances. So with regard to Christ's utterances, John 7:17 , RV, "I speak from (apo) Myself:" and John 14:10 . (3) In John 6:46 ; John 15:15 ; John 17:7 ; Acts 17:9 , the RV, "from" is to be observed, as rightly translating para (AV, "of"). (4) The following are instances in which "of" translates ek, or ex, "out of, from," Matthew 21:25 (RV, "from"); 1 Corinthians 1:30 ; 1 Corinthians 15:6 ; 2 Corinthians 5:1 (RV, "from"); James 4:1 . (5) In the following, peri, "concerning," is so translated in the RV (for AV, "of"), e.g., Acts 5:24 ; 1 Corinthians 1:11 ; 1 John 1:1 (the RV is important); cp. John 16:8 . (6) Epi, "over," is so translated in Matthew 18:13 , RV; "concerning" in Acts 4:9 . (7) Huper, "on behalf of," is so rendered in 2 Corinthians 7:4 , RV (AV, "of"); (8) For hupo, "by," see the RV of Matthew 1:22 ; Matthew 2:16 ; Matthew 11:27 ; Luke 9:7 ; Acts 15:4 ; 1 Corinthians 14:24 ; 2 Corinthians 8:19 ; Philippians 3:12 . (9) For other prepositions, etc., see +, p. 9.

Off

* For OFF see +, p. 9

Offence

A — 1: σκάνδαλον
(Strong's #4625 — Noun Neuter — skandalon — skan'-dal-on )

originally was "the name of the part of a trap to which the bait is attached, hence, the trap or snare itself, as in Romans 11:9 , RV, 'stumblingblock,' quoted from Psalms 69:22 , and in Revelation 2:14 , for Balaam's device was rather a trap for Israel than a stumblingblock to them, and in Matthew 16:23 , for in Peter's words the Lord perceived a snare laid for Him by Satan.

"In NT skandalon is always used metaphorically, and ordinarily of anything that arouses prejudice, or becomes a hindrance to others, or causes them to fall by the way. Sometimes the hindrance is in itself good, and those stumbled by it are the wicked."

Thus it is used (a) of Christ in Romans 9:33 , "(a rock) of offense;" so 1 Peter 2:8 ; 1 Corinthians 1:23 (AV and RV, "stumblingblock"), and of His CROSS, Galatians 5:11 (RV, ditto); of the "table" provided by God for Israel, Romans 11:9 (see above); (b) of that which is evil, e.g., Matthew 13:41 , RV, "things that cause stumbling" (AV, "things that offend"), lit., "all stumblingblocks;" Matthew 18:7 , RV, "occasions of stumbling" and "occasion;" Luke 17:1 (ditto); Romans 14:13 , RV, "an occasion of falling" (AV, "an occasion to fall"), said of such a use of Christian liberty as proves a hindrance to another; Romans 16:17 , RV, "occasions of stumbling," said of the teaching of things contrary to sound doctrine; 1 John 2:10 , "occasion of stumbling," of the absence of this in the case of one who loves his brother and thereby abides in the light. Love, then, is the best safeguard against the woes pronounced by the Lord upon those who cause others to stumble. See FALL , B, Note (3). Cp. the Sept. in Hosea 4:17 , "Ephraim partaking with idols hath laid stumblingblocks in his own path."

A — 2: πρόσκομμα
(Strong's #4348 — Noun Neuter — proskomma — pros'-kom-mah )

"an obstacle against which one may dash his foot" (akin to proskopto, "to stumble" or "cause to stumble;" pros, "to or against," kopto, "to strike"), is translated "offense" in Romans 14:20 , in Romans 14:13 , "a stumblingblock," of the spiritual hindrance to another by a selfish use of liberty (cp. No. 1 in the same verse); so in 1 Corinthians 8:9 . It is used of Christ, in Romans 9:32, 33 , RV, "(a stone) of stumbling," and 1 Peter 2:8 , where the AV also has this rendering. Cp. the Sept. in Exodus 23:33 , "these (the gods of the Canaanites) will be an offense (stumblingblock) unto thee."

A — 3: προσκοπή
(Strong's #4349 — Noun Feminine — proskope — pros-kop-ay' )

like No. 2, and formed from the same combination, occurs in 2 Corinthians 6:3 , RV, "occasion of stumbling" (AV, "offense"), something which leads others into error or sin. Cp. the Sept. in Proverbs 16:18 , "a haughty spirit (becomes) a stumblingblock" (i.e., to oneself).

Notes: (1) In the AV of Romans 4:25 ; Romans 5:15 (twice),16-18,20, paraptoma, "a trepass," is translated "offense." See TRESPASS. (2) In 2 Corinthians 11:7 , AV, hamartia, a sin, is translated "an offense." See SIN.

B — 1: ἀπρόσκοπος
(Strong's #677 — Adjective — aproskopos — ap-ros'-kop-os )

akin to A, No. 3, with a, negative, prefixed, is used (a) in the Active sense, "not causing to stumble," in 1 Corinthians 10:32 , metaphorically of "refraining from doing anything to lead astray" either Jews or Greeks or the church of God (i.e., the local church), RV, "no occasion of stumbling" (AV, "none offense"); (b) in the Passive sense, "blameless, without stumbling;" Acts 24:16 , "(a conscience) void of offense;" Philippians 1:10 , "void of (AV, without) offense." The adjective is found occasionally in the papyri writings.

Offend

1: σκανδαλίζω
(Strong's #4624 — Verb — skandalizo — skan-dal-id'-zo )

from skandalon (OFFENSE, No. 1), signifies "to put a snare or stumblingblock in the way," always metaphorically in the NT, in the same ways as the noun, which see. It is used 14 times in Matthew, 8 in Mark, twice in Luke, twice in John; elsewhere in 1 Corinthians 8:13 (twice); 2 Corinthians 11:29 . It is absent in the most authentic mss. in Romans 14:21 . The RV renders it by the verb "to stumble," or "cause to stumble," in every place save the following, where it uses the verb "to offend," Matthew 13:57 ; Matthew 15:12; 31, 33 ; Mark 6:3 ; Mark 14:27, 29 .

Notes: (1) In James 2:10 ; James 3:2 (twice), AV, ptaio, "to stumble," is translated "offend;" see FALL , STUMBLE. (2) In Acts 25:8 , AV, hamartano, "to sin," is translated "have I offended;" see SIN.

1: ὀφειλέτης
(Strong's #3781 — Noun Masculine — opheiletes — of-i-let'-ace )

"a debtor," is translated "offenders" in Luke 13:4 , RV (RV and AV marg., "debtors;" AV, "sinners"). See DEBTOR.

"to pour out as a drink offering, make a libation," is used figuratively in the Passive Voice in Philippians 2:17 , "offered" (RV marg., "poured out as a drink offering;" AV marg., "poured forth"). In 2 Timothy 4:6 , "I am already being offered," RV (marg., "poured out as a drink-offering"), the Apostle is referring to his approaching death, upon the sacrifice of his ministry. This use of the word is exemplified in the papyri writings.

Notes: (1) In Luke 11:12 , AV epididomi, "to give" (epi, "over," in the sense of "instead of," and No. 3), is translated "will he offer" (RV, and AV marg., "will he give"). (2) In Acts 7:41 , AV, anago, "to lead up" or "bring up," is rendered "offered" (RV, "brought"). (3) In Acts 15:29 ; Acts 21:25 ; and 1 Corinthians 8:1, 4, 10 ; 1 Corinthians 10:19 , AV, eidolothutos, "sacrificed to idols," is translated "offered to idols" (thuo denotes "to sacrifice"). See SACRIFICE.

B — 1: προσφορά
(Strong's #4376 — Noun Feminine — prosphora — pros-for-ah' )

lit., "a bringing to" (akin to A, No. 1,), hence an "offering," in the NT a sacrificial "offering," (a) of Christ's sacrifice, Ephesians 5:2 ; Hebrews 10:10 (of His body); 10:14; negatively, of there being no repetition, Hebrews 10:18 ; (b) of "offerings" under, or according to, the Law, Acts 21:26 ; Hebrews 10:5, 8 ; (c) of gifts in kind conveyed to needy Jews, Acts 24:17 ; (d) of the presentation of believers themselves (saved from among the Gentiles) to God, Romans 15:16 .

B — 2: ὁλοκαύτωμα

denotes "a gift set up in a temple, a votive offering" (ana, "up," tithemi, "to place"), Luke 21:5 , RV "offerings" (AV, "gifts") Cp. anathema (see CURSE).

Notes: (1) In Luke 21:4 , AV, the plural of doron, "a gift," is translated "offerings" (RV, "gifts"). (2) In Romans 8:3 ; Hebrews 13:11 , the RV, "as an offering" is added to complete the sacrificial meaning of peri.

Office

A — 1: πρᾶξις
(Strong's #4234 — Noun Feminine — praxis — prax'-is )

"a doing, deed" (akin to prasso, "to do or practice"), also denotes "an acting" or "function," translated "office" in Romans 12:4 . See DEED.

A — 2: ἱερατεία
(Strong's #2405 — Noun Feminine — hierateia — hee-e-at-i'-ah )

or hieratia, denotes "a priest's office," Luke 1:9 ; Hebrews 7:5 , RV, "priest's office" (AV "office of the priesthood").

B — 1: ἱερατεύω
(Strong's #2407 — Verb — hierateuo — hee-er-at-yoo'-o )

"to officiate as a priest" (akin to A, No. 2), is translated "he executed the priest's office" in Luke 1:8 . The word is frequent in inscriptions.

Notes: (I) In Romans 11:13 , AV, diakonia, "a ministry," is translated "office" (RV, "ministry"). (2) In Acts 1:20 , RV, episkope, "an overseership," is translated "office" (marg., "overseership;" AV, "bishopric"). (3) In 1 Timothy 3:1 , the word "office," in the phrase "the office of a bishop," has nothing to represent it in the original; the RV marg. gives "overseer" for "bishop," and the phrase lit. is "overseership;" so in 1 Timothy 3:10, 13 , where the AV has "use (and 'used') the office of a deacon," the RV rightly omits "office," and translates the verb diakoneo, "to serve," "let them serve as deacons" and "(they that) have served (well) as deacons."

Officer

1: ὑπηρέτης
(Strong's #5257 — Noun Masculine — huperetes — hoop-ay-ret'-ace )

See MINISTER , SERVANT.

lit., "one who does," or "accomplishes" (akin to prasso, "to do"), was used in Athens of one who exacts payment, a collector (the word is frequently used in the papyri of a public accountant); hence, in general, a court "officer," an attendant in a court of justice (so Deissmann); the word is used in Luke 12:58 (twice). In the Sept., Isaiah 3:12 .

Offscouring

1: περίψημα
(Strong's #4067 — Noun Neuter — peripsema — per-ip'-so-mah )

"that which is wiped off" (akin to peripsao, "to wipe off all round;" peri, "around," psao, "to wipe"), hence, "offscouring," is used metaphorically in 1 Corinthians 4:13 .

A — 2: πολύς
(Strong's #4183 — Adjective — polla — pol-oos' )

the neuter plural of polus, is translated "oft" in Matthew 9:14 ; some ancient authorities omit it here (see RV marg.); in Romans 15:22 , with the article, RV, "these many times" (AV, "much").

B — 1: πυκνός
(Strong's #4437 — Adjective — puknos — pook-nos' )

primarily signifies "close, compact, solid;" hence, "frequent, often," 1 Timothy 5:23 . Cp. A, Nos. 5 and 6.

Oil

1: ἔλαιον
(Strong's #1637 — Noun Neuter — elaion — el'-ah-yon )

"olive oil," is mentioned over 200 times in the Bible. Different kinds were known in Palestine. The "pure," RV (AV, "beaten"), mentioned in Exodus 27:20 ; Exodus 29:40 ; Leviticus 24:2 ; Numbers 28:5 (now known as virgin oil), extracted by pressure, without heat, is called "golden" in Zechariah 4:12 . There were also inferior kinds. In the NT the uses mentioned were (a) for lamps, in which the "oil" is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 25:3, 4, 8 ; (b) as a medicinal agent, for healing, Luke 10:34 ; (c) for anointing at feasts, Luke 7:46 ; (d) on festive occasions, Hebrews 1:9 , where the reference is probably to the consecration of kings; (e) as an accompaniment of miraculous power, Mark 6:13 , or of the prayer of faith, James 5:14 .

(Strong's #3464 — Noun Neuter — muron — moo'-ron )

The alabaster cruse mentioned in the passages in Matthew, Mark and Luke was the best of its kind, and the spikenard was one of the costliest of perfumes. "Ointments" were used in preparing a body for burial, Luke 23:56 ("oinments"). Of the act of the woman mentioned in Matthew 26:6-13 , the Lord said, "she did it to prepare Me for burial;" her devotion led her to antedate the customary ritual after death, by showing both her affection and her understanding of what was impending. For the use of the various kinds of "ointments" as articles of commerce, see Revelation 18:13 .

Old

A — 1: ἀρχαῖος
(Strong's #744 — Adjective — archaios — ar-khah'-yos )

"original, ancient" (from arche, "a beginning:" Eng., "archaic," "archaeology," etc.), is used (a) of persons belonging to a former age, "(to) them of old time," Matthew 5:21, 33 , RV; in some mss. ver. 27; the RV rendering is right; not ancient teachers are in view; what was said to them of old time was "to be both recognized in its significance and estimated in its temporary limitations, Christ intending His words to be regarded not as an abrogation, but a deepening and fulfilling" (Cremer); of prophets, Luke 9:8, 19 ; (b) of time long gone by, Acts 15:21 ; (c) of days gone by in a person's experience, Acts 15:7 , "a good while ago," lit., "from old (days)," i.e., from the first days onward in the sense of originality, not age; (d) of Mnason, "an early disciple," Acts 21:16 , RV, not referring to age, but to his being one of the first who had accepted the Gospel from the beginning of its proclamation; (e) of things which are "old" in relation to the new, earlier things in contrast to things present, 2 Corinthians 5:17 , i.e., of what characterized and conditioned the time previous to conversion in a believer's experience, RV, "they are become new," i.e., they have taken on a new complexion and are viewed in an entirely different way; (f) of the world (i.e., the inhabitants of the world) just previous to the Flood, 2 Peter 2:5 ; (g) of the Devil, as "that old serpent," Revelation 12:9 ; Revelation 20:2 , "old," not in age, but as characterized for a long period by the evils indicated.

Note: For the difference between this and No. 2, see below.

A — 2: παλαιός
(Strong's #3820 — Adjective — palaios — pal-ah-yos' )

akin to C, No. 1 (Eng., "paleontology," etc.), "of what is of long duration, old in years," etc., a garment, wine (in contrast to neos; see NEW), Matthew 9:16, 17 ; Mark 2:21, 22 (twice); Luke 5:36, 37, 39 (twice); of the treasures of Divine truth, Matthew 13:52 (compared with kainos: see NEW); of what belongs to the past, e.g., the believer's former self before his conversion, his "old man," "old" because it has been superseded by that which is new, Romans 6:6 ; Ephesians 4:22 (in contrast to kainos); Colossians 3:9 (in contrast to neos); of the covenant in connection with the Law, 2 Corinthians 3:14 ; of leaven, metaphorical of moral evil, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 8 (in contrast to neos); of that which was given long ago and remains in force, an "old" commandment, 1 John 2:7 (twice), that which was familiar and well known in contrast to that which is fresh (kainos).

Note: Palaios denotes "old," without the reference to beginning and origin contained in archaios" (Abbott-Smith), a distinction observed in the papyri (Moulton and Milligan). While sometimes any difference seems almost indistinguishable, yet "it is evident that wherever an emphasis is desired to be laid on the reaching back to a beginning, whatever that beginning may be, archaios will be preferred (e.g., of Satan, Revelation 12:9 ; Revelation 20:2 , see No. 1). That which ... is old in the sense of more or less worn out ... is always palaios" (Trench).

A — 3: πρεσβύτερος

Note: Augustine (quoted by Trench, cvii, 2) speaks of the distinction observed among Greeks, that presbutes conveys the suggestion of gravity.

denotes "long ago, of old," Hebrews 1:1 , RV, "of old time" (AV, "in time past"); in Jude 1:4 , "of old;" it is used as an adjective in 2 Peter 1:9 , "(his) old (sins)," lit., "his sins of old." See WHILE.

D — 2: γηράσκω
(Strong's #1095 — Verb — gerasko — ghay-ras'-ko )

from geras, "old age" (akin to B, No. 1), "to grow old," is translated "thou shalt be old," in John 21:18 ; "waxeth aged," Hebrews 8:13 , RV (AV, "waxeth old").

Notes: (1) In John 8:57 , echo, "to have," is used with "fifty years" as the object, signifying, "Thou art (not yet fifty years) old," lit., "Thou hast not yet fifty years." (2) In Mark 5:42 , RV, the verb eimi, "to be," with the phrase "of twelve years" is translated "was ... old" (AV, "was of the age of").

denotes (a) "an olive tree," Romans 11:17, 24 ; Revelation 11:4 (plural); the Mount of Olives was so called from the numerous olive trees there, and indicates the importance attached to such; the Mount is mentioned in the NT in connection only with the Lord's life on earth, Matthew 21:1 ; Matthew 24:3 ; Matthew 26:30 ; Mark 11:1 ; Mark 13:3 ; Mark 14:26 ; Luke 19:37 ; Luke 22:39 ; John 8:1 ; (b) "an olive," James 3:12 , RV (AV, "olive berries").

2: ἐλαιών
(Strong's #1638 — Noun Masculine — elaion — el-ah-yone' )

"an olive grove" or "olive garden," the ending -- on, as in this class of noun, here indicates "a place set with trees of the kind designated by the primitive" (Thayer); hence it is applied to the Mount of Olives, Luke 19:29 ; Luke 21:37 ; Acts 1:12 ("Olivet"): in the first two of these and in Mark 11:1 , some mss. have the form of the noun as in No. 1.

* Notes: (1) This translates a number of words and phrases, (a) allelon, a reciprocal pronoun in the genitive plural, signifying "of, or from, one another" (akin to allos, "another"), e.g., Matthew 25:32 ; John 13:22 ; Acts 15:39 ; Acts 19:38 ; 1 Corinthians 7:5 ; Galatians 5:17 ; the accusative allelous denotes "one another," e.g., Acts 7:26 , lit., "why do ye wrong one another?;" 2 Thessalonians 1:3 , RV; in Ephesians 4:32 ; Colossians 3:13 , e.g., RV, "each other;" in 1 Thessalonians 5:15 , "one (toward) another," RV; the dative allelois denotes "one to another," e.g., Luke 7:32 ; (b) different forms of the plural of heautou, "of himself," used as a reciprocal pronoun, e.g., Ephesians 5:19 , RV, "one to another" (AV, and RV marg., "to yourselves"); see also Note (5); (c) allos pros allon, "one to another," Acts 2:12 ; (d) allos ... heteros, 1 Corinthians 12:8 (for the difference between allos and heteros, see ANOTHER); (e) hos men ... hos de (in various forms of the pronoun), lit., "this indeed ... but that," e.g., Luke 23:33 ; Romans 9:21 ; Romans 14:5 ; 1 Corinthians 11:21 ; 2 Corinthians 2:16 ; Philippians 1:16, 17 ; (f) heteros ... heteros, "one ... another," 1 Corinthians 15:40 . (2) In Matthew 24:2 ; Mark 13:2 ; Luke 19:44 ; Luke 21:6 , "one (stone upon) another" is, lit., "stone upon stone." (3) In Hebrews 10:25 , "one another" is necessarily added in English to complete the sense of parakaleo, "to exhort." (4) In 1 Peter 3:8 , AV, "one of another" represents nothing in the original (the RV, "compassionate" sufficiently translates the adjective sumpathes: see COMPASSION , C.). (5) In Mark 9:10 , AV, pros heautous, "among yourselves" (RV), is translated "one with another". (6) In 1 Timothy 5:21 , AV, the accusative case of prosklisis, "partiality," preceded by kata, "according to," is translated "preferring one before another" (RV, "prejudice;" marg., "preference," lit., "according to partiality").

Only

"only begotten" (No. 1 and genos, "offspring"), has the meaning "only," of human offspring, in Luke 7:12 ; Luke 8:42 ; Luke 9:38 ; the term is one of endearment, as well as of singleness. For Hebrews 11:17 see ONLY BEGOTTEN.

B — 1: μόνος
(Strong's #3441 — Adjective — monon — mon'-os )

the neuter of A, No. 1, "only, exclusively," is translated "only," e.g., in Matthew 5:47 ; Matthew 8:8 ; John 5:18 ; John 11:52 ; John 12:9 ; John 13:9 ; frequently in Acts, Romans and Galatians. See ALONE , B, No. 1.

Only Begotten

1: μονογενής
(Strong's #3439 — Adjective — monogenes — mon-og-en-ace )

is used five times, all in the writings of the Apostle John, of Christ as the Son of God; it is translated "only begotten" in Hebrews 11:17 of the relationship of Isaac to Abraham.

With reference to Christ, the phrase "the only begotten from the Father," John 1:14 , RV (see also the marg.), indicates that as the Son of God He was the sole representative of the Being and character of the One who sent Him. In the original the definite article is omitted both before "only begotten" and before "Father," and its absence in each case serves to lay stress upon the characteristics referred to in the terms used. The Apostle's object is to demonstrate what sort of glory it was that he and his fellow Apostles had seen. That he is not merely making a comparison with earthly relationships is indicated by para, "from." The glory was that of a unique relationship and the word "begotten" does not imply a beginning of His Sonship. It suggests relationship indeed, but must be distinguished from generation as applied to man.

We can only rightly understand the term "the only begotten" when used of the Son, in the sense of unoriginated relationship. "The begetting is not an event of time, however remote, but a fact irrespective of time. The Christ did not become, but necessarily and eternally is the Son. He, a Person, possesses every attribute of pure Godhood. This necessitates eternity, absolute being; in this respect He is not 'after' the Father" (Moule). The expression also suggests the thought of the deepest affection, as in the case of the OT word yachid, variously rendered, "only one," Genesis 22:2, 12 ; "only son," Jeremiah 6:26 ; Amos 8:10 ; Zechariah 12:10 ; "only beloved," Proverbs 4:3 , and "darling," Psalms 22:20 ; Psalms 35:17 .

In John 1:18 the clause "the only begotten son, which is in the bosom of the Father," expresses both His eternal union with the Father in the Godhead and the ineffable intimacy and love between them, the Son sharing all the Father's counsels and enjoying all His affections. Another reading is monogenes Theos, "God only-begotten." In John 3:16 the statement, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son," must not be taken to mean that Christ became the only begotten son by incarnation. The value and the greatness of the gift lay in the Sonship of Him who was given. His Sonship was not the effect of His being given. In John 3:18 the phrase "the name of the only begotten son of God" lays stress upon the full revelation of God's character and will, His love and grace, as conveyed in the name of One who, being in a unique relationship to Him, was provided by Him as the object of faith. In 1 John 4:9 the statement "God hath sent His only begotten son into the world" does not mean that God sent out into the world one who at His birth in Bethlehem had become His Son. Cp. the parallel statement, "God sent forth the Spirit of His Son," Galatians 4:6 , RV, which could not mean that God sent forth One who became His Spirit when He sent Him.

Notes: (1) In Galatians 3:1 , "openly set forth" translates the verb prographo, lit., "to write before," as of the OT, Romans 15:4 (cp. Jude 1:4 ), and of a previous letter, Ephesians 3:3 . In Galatians 3:1 , however, "it is probably used in another sense, unexampled in the Scriptures but not uncommon in the language of the day, == 'proclaimed,' 'placarded,' as a magistrate proclaimed the fact that an execution had been carried out, placarding his proclamation in a public place. The Apostle carries on his metaphor of the 'evil eye;' as a preventive of such mischief it was common to post up charms on the walls of houses, a glance at which was supposed to counteract any evil influence to which a person may have been subjected. 'Notwithstanding,' he says, in effect, 'that the fact that Christ had been crucified was placarded before your very eyes in our preaching, you have allowed yourselves to be ... fascinated by the enemies of the Cross of Christ, when you had only to look at Him to escape their malignant influence;' cp. the interesting and instructive parallel in Numbers 21:9 ." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 106,107] (2) In some mss. in Matthew 6:4, 6, 18 , the phrase en to phanero, lit., "in the manifest," is found (AV, "openly"); see the RV (3) For emphanes, rendered "openly" in Acts 10:40 , AV, see MANIFEST.

"to appoint, arrange, charge, give orders to," is used, in the Middle Voice, in Acts 24:23 , "gave order" (RV); 1 Corinthians 11:34 , "will I set in order;" in the Active Voice, in 1 Corinthians 16:1 , "I gave order" (RV). See COMMAND , No. 1.

(Strong's #1930 — Verb — epidiorthoo — ep-ee-dee-or-tho'-o )

"to set in order" (epi, "upon," dia, "through, intensive," and orthos, "straight"), is used in Titus 1:5 , in the sense of setting right again what was defective, a commission to Titus, not to add to what the Apostle himself had done, but to restore what had fallen into disorder since the Apostle had labored in Crete; this is suggested by the epi.

is translated "in order" in Luke 1:3 ; Acts 11:4 , RV (AV, "by order"); Acts 18:23 . See AFTERWARD , No. 3.

2: ἄλλως
(Strong's #247 — Adverb — allos — al'-loce )

Our, Ours

* Notes: (1) This usually translates hemon, the genitive of hemeis, "we," lit., "of us," e.g., Matthew 6:9, 11, 12 . It is translated "ours," e.g., in Mark 12:7 ; Luke 20:14 ; 1 Corinthians 1:2 ; 2 Corinthians 1:14 . (2) In 1 John 4:17 , the phrase meta hemon, rendered "our (love)" in the AV, is accurately translated in the RV "(herein is love made perfect) with us," i.e., Divine love in Christ finds its expression in "our" manifestation of it to others. (3) In Luke 17:5 , "increase our faith" is, lit., "add faith to us." (4) In Luke 24:22 , "of our company" is, lit., "from among us." (5) Hemeteros, a possessive pronoun, more emphatic than hemeis, is used in Luke 16:12 , in the best mss. (some have humeteros, "your own"); Acts 2:11 ; Acts 24:6 , in some mss.; Acts 26:5 ; 2 Timothy 4:15 ; Titus 3:14 , "ours;" 1 John 1:3 ; 1 John 2:2 , "ours."

(e) heautous, the accusative case, e.g., Acts 23:14 ; 2 Corinthians 3:1 ; 2 Corinthians 4:2, 5 . (2) In Acts 6:4 , AV, proskartereo, "to continue steadfastly" (RV), is translated "give ourselves continually." (3) In 2 Corinthians 10:12 , AV, enkrino, "to number" (RV), is translated "to make ourselves of the number."

Out, Out of

* Notes: (1) The preposition ek (or ex), which frequently signifies "out of" or "from the midst of," has a variety meanings, among which is "from," as virtually equivalent to apo, "away from," e.g., 2 Corinthians 1:10 , "who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver;" since death was not acutally experienced, but was impending, ek here does not signify "out of the midst of." In Acts 12:7 it is used in the statement "his chains fell off from his hands." In Matthew 17:9 it is used of descending from a mountain, not "out of;" "we are not to suppose that they had been in a cave" (Dr. A. T. Robertson, Gram. of the Greek NT). In 1 Thessalonians 1:10 , "even Jesus, which delivereth us from the wrath to come," RV, the question whether ek here means "out of the midst of" or "away from," is to be determined by some statement of Scripture where the subject is specifically mentioned; this is provided, e.g., in 1 Thessalonians 5:9 , the context of which makes clear that believers are to be delivered from (not "out of") the Divine wrath to be executed on the nations at the end of the present age. (2) For the phrase ek mesou, "out of the way," see MIDST , Note (1), (e). (3) In Luke 8:4 , AV, the phrase kata polin is translated" out of every city" (RV, "of every city," to be taken in connection with "they"). (4) Ektos, "outside of," is translated "out of" in 2 Corinthians 12:2 ; in 2 Corinthians 12:3 the best mss. have choris, "apart from," RV (AV, ektos, "out of"). (4) For other prepositions, and adverbs, see + p. 9.

1: ἔξωθεν
(Strong's #1855 — Adverb — exothen — ex'-o-then )

Oven

1: κλίβανος
(Strong's #2823 — Noun Masculine — klibanos — klib'-an-os )

is mentioned in Matthew 6:30 ; Luke 12:28 . The form of "oven" commonly in use in the east indicates the kind in use as mentioned in Scripture. A hole is sunk in the ground about 3 feet deep and somewhat less in diameter. The walls are plastered with cement. A fire is kindled inside, the fuel being grass, or dry twigs, which heat the oven rapidly and blacken it with smoke and soot (see Lamentations 5:10 ). When sufficiently heated the surface is wiped, and the dough is molded into broad thin loaves, placed one at a time on the wall of the "oven" to fit its concave inner circle. The baking takes a few seconds. Such ovens are usually outside the house, and often the same "oven" serves for several families (Leviticus 26:26 ). An "oven" of this sort is doubtless referred to in Exodus 8:3 (see Hastings, Bib. Dic.).

1: προΐστημι
(Strong's #4291 — Verb — proistemi — pro-is'-tay-mee )

lit., "to stand before," hence "to lead, to direct, attend to," is translated "rule," with reference to the family, in 1 Timothy 3:4, 5, 12 ; with reference to the church, in Romans 12:8 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:12 , "are over;" 1 Timothy 5:17 , In Titus 3:8, 14 , it signifies "to maintain."
