Setter Forth — Skull

Setter Forth

1: καταγγελεύς
(Strong's #2604 — Noun Masculine — katangeleus — kat-ang-gel-yooce' )

"a proclaimer, herald" (akin to katangello, "to proclaim"), is used in Acts 17:18 , "a setter forth (of strange gods)." It is found in inscriptions in connection with proclamations made in public places.

Settle

1: τίθημι
(Strong's #5087 — Verb — tithemi — tith'-ay-mee )

"to put, place," is translated "settle (it therefore in your hearts)" in Luke 21:14 , Active Voice in the best texts (some have the Middle), the aorist tense signifying complete decision, i.e., "resolve" (not "consider"); cp. Acts 5:4 , "to conceive in the heart," and contrast Luke 1:66 , "to lay up" (both have aorist tense, Middle Voice). See APPOINT , No. 3.

Notes: (1) In 1 Peter 5:10 , some texts have themelioo, "to lay a foundation," used metaphorically, and translated "settle," AV. (2) In Colossians 1:23 , AV, hedraios, lit., "seated" (hedra, "a seat"), is translated "settled" (RV, "steadfast"). (3) For epiluo see DETERMINE , No. 4.

Seven

1: ἑπτά
(Strong's #2033 — Noun — hepta — hep-tah' )

whence Eng. words beginning with "hept," corresponds to the Heb. sheba' (which is akin to saba', signifying "to be full, abundant"), sometimes used as an expression of fullness, e.g., Ruth 4:15 : it generally expresses completeness, and is used most frequently in the Apocalypse; it is not found in the Gospel of John, nor between the Acts and the Apocalypse, except in Hebrews 11:30 (in Romans 11:4 the numeral is heptakischilioi, "seven thousand"); in Matthew 22:26 it is translated "seventh" (marg., "seven").

Note: In 2 Peter 2:5 , RV, "Noah with seven others" is a translation into idiomatic English of the Greek idiom "Noah the eighth person" (so AV, translating literally). See EIGHT.

Seven Times

1: ἑπτάκις
(Strong's #2034 — Adverb — heptakis — hep-tak-is' )

occurs in Matthew 18:21, 22 ; Luke 17:4 (twice).

Seventh

1: ἕβδομος
(Strong's #1442 — Adjective — hebdomos — heb'-dom-os )

occurs in John 4:52 ; Hebrews 4:4 (twice); Jude 1:14 ; Revelation 8:1 ; Revelation 10:7 ; Revelation 11:15 ; Revelation 16:17 ; Revelation 21:20 .

Seventy

1: ἑβδομήκοντα
(Strong's #1440 — Noun — hebdomekonta — heb-dom-ay'-kon-tah )

occurs in Luke 10:1, 17 ; in Acts 7:14 it precedes pente, "five," lit., "seventy-five," rendered "threescore and fifteen;" for the details see FIFTEEN , Note (1); in Acts 23:23 it is translated "threescore and ten;" in Acts 27:37 it precedes hex, "six," lit., "seventy-six," rendered "threescore and sixteen."

Seventy Times

1: ἑβδομηκοντάκις
(Strong's #1441 — Adverb — hebdomekontakis — heb-dom-ay-kon-tak-is' )

occurs in Matthew 18:22 , where it is followed by hepta, "seven," "seventy times seven;" RV marg. has "seventy times and seven," which many have regarded as the meaning; cp. Genesis 4:24 (Winer, in Winer-Moulton, Gram., p. 314, remarks that while this would be the strict meaning, it "would not suit the passage;" his translator, W. F. Moulton, in a footnote, expresses the opinion that it would. So also J.H. Moulton, Prol., p. 98, says: "A definite allusion to the Genesis story is highly probable: Jesus pointedly sets against the natural man's craving for seventy-sevenfold revenge the spiritual man's ambition to exercise the privilege of seventy-sevenfold forgiveness").

The Lord's reply "until seventy times seven" was indicative of completeness, the absence of any limit, and was designed to turn away Peter's mind from a merely numerical standard. God's forgiveness is limitless; so should man's be.

Sever

1: καταργέω
(Strong's #2673 — Verb — katargeo — kat-arg-eh'-o )

lit., "to reduce to inactivity" (see ABOLISH , where all the ocurrences are given), is rendered "ye are severed (from Christ)" in Galatians 5:4 , RV; the aorist tense indicates that point of time at which there was an acceptance of the Judaistic doctrines; to those who accepted these Christ would be of no profit, they were as branches severed from the tree.

2: ἀφορίζω
(Strong's #873 — Verb — aphorizo — af-or-id'-zo )

"to separate from," is used of the work of the angels at the end of this age, in "severing" the wicked from among the righteous, Matthew 13:49 , a premillennial act quite distinct from the rapture of the Church as set forth in 1 Thessalonians 4 . See DIVIDE , No. 1.

Several

1: ἴδιος
(Strong's #2398 — Adjective — idios — id'-ee-os )

"one's own," is translated "several (ability)," in Matthew 25:15 .

Note: For Revelation 21:21 , "the several gates," RV, see EVERY , No. 3.

Severally

1: ἴδιος
(Strong's #2398 — Adjective — idia — id'-ee-os )

the dative case, feminine, of idios (see above), is used adverbially, signifying "severally," in 1 Corinthians 12:11 .

Notes: (1) In Romans 12:5 , kata (kath') followed by the numeral heis, "one," and preceded by the article, signifies "severally," RV (AV, "every one"). Cp. EVERY, Note (1). (2) In 1 Corinthians 12:27 , RV, the phrase ek merous, lit., "out of a part" (meros), is rendered "severally" (AV, "in particular"). (3) In Hebrews 9:5 , RV, the phrase kata meros, lit., "according to a part," is rendered "severally." (4) For Ephesians 5:33 , RV, "severally," see EVERY , No. 3.

Severity

1: ἀποτομία
(Strong's #663 — Noun Feminine — apotomia — ap-ot-om-ee'-ah )

"steepness, sharpness" (apo, "off," temno, "to cut;" tome, "a cutting"), is used metaphorically in Romans 11:22 (twice) of "the severity of God," which lies in His temporary retributive dealings with Israel. In the papyri it is used of exacting to the full the provisions of a statue. Cp. the adverb apotomos, "sharply" (which see).

2: ἀφειδία
(Strong's #857 — Noun Feminine — apheidia — af-i-dee'-ah )

primarily "extravagance" (a, negative, pheidomai, "to spare"), hence, "unsparing treatment, severity," is used in Colossians 2:23 , RV, "severity (to the body)," AV, "neglecting of" (marg., "punishing, not sparing"); here it refers to ascetic discipline; it was often used among the Greeks of courageous exposure to hardship and danger.

Sew

1: ἐπιράπτω
(Strong's #1976 — Verb — epirapto | epirrhapto — ep-ir-hrap'-to )

(epi, "upon," rhapto, "to sew or stitch"), is used in Mark 2:21 .

Shadow

1: σκιά
(Strong's #4639 — Noun Feminine — skia — skee'-ah )

is used (a) of "a shadow," caused by the interception of light, Mark 4:32 , Acts 5:15 ; metaphorically of the darkness and spiritual death of ignorance, Matthew 4:16 ; Luke 1:79 ; (b) of "the image" or "outline" cast by an object, Colossians 2:17 , of ceremonies under the Law; of the tabernacle and its appurtenances and offerings, Hebrews 8:5 ; of these as appointed under the Law, Hebrews 10:1 .

2: ἀποσκίασμα
(Strong's #644 — Noun Neuter — aposkiasma — ap-os-kee'-as-mah )

"a shadow," is rendered "shadow that is cast" in James 1:17 , RV; the AV makes no distinction between this and No. 1. The probable significance of this word is "overshadowing" or "shadowing-over" (which apo may indicate), and this with the genitive case of trope, "turning," yields the meaning "shadowing-over of mutability" implying an alternation of "shadow" and light; of this there are two alternative explanations, namely, "overshadowing" (1) not caused by mutability in God, or (2) caused by change in others, i.e., "no changes in this lower world can cast a shadow on the unchanging Fount of light" [Mayor, who further remarks, "The meaning of the passage will then be, 'God is alike incapable of change (parallage) and incapable of being changed by the action of others'"].

Shadowing

* For SHADOWING, Hebrews 9:5 , AV, see OVERSHADOW

Shake

1: σαλεύω
(Strong's #4531 — Verb — saleuo — sal-yoo'-o )

"to agitate shake," primarily of the action of stormy winds, waves, etc., is used (a) literally, of a reed, Matthew 11:7 ; Luke 7:24 ; a vessel, "shaken" in filling, Luke 6:38 ; a building, Luke 6:48 ; Acts 4:31 ; Acts 16:26 ; the natural forces of the heavens and heavenly bodies, Matthew 24:29 ; Mark 13:25 ; Luke 21:26 ; the earth, Hebrews 12:26 , "shook;" (b) metaphorically, (1) of "shaking" so as to make insecure, Hebrews 12:27 (twice); (2) of casting down from a sense of security, Acts 2:25 , "I should (not) be moved;" (3) to stir up (a crowd), Acts 17:13 ; (4) to unsettle, 2 Thessalonians 2:2 , "(to the end that) ye be not (quickly) shaken (from your mind)," i.e., from their settled conviction and the purpose of heart begotten by it, as to the return of Christ before the Day of the Lord begins; the metaphor may be taken from the loosening of a ship from its moorings by a storm. See MOVE , STIR.

2: σείω
(Strong's #4579 — Verb — seio — si'-o )

"to shake to and fro," is rendered "to shake" in Matthew 28:4 , AV; Hebrews 12:26 , AV; Revelation 6:13 , AV and RV; see MOVE , No. 3.

3: ἀποτινάσσω
(Strong's #660 — Verb — apotinasso — ap-ot-in-as'-so )

"to shake off" (apo, "from," tinasso, "to shake"), is used in Luke 9:5 , of dust from the feet; Acts 28:5 , of a viper from the hand. In the Sept., Judges 16:20 ; 1 Samuel 10:2 ; Lamentations 2:7 .

4: ἐκτινάσσω

"to shake out," is used of "shaking off" the dust from the feet, Matthew 10:14 ; Mark 6:11 ; Acts 13:51 ; of "shaking out" one's raiment, Acts 18:6 .

Shall

1: μέλλω
(Strong's #3195 — Verb — mello — mel'-lo )

"to be about (to be or do)," is used of purpose, certainty, compulsion or necessity. It is rendered simply by "shall" or "should" (which frequently represent elsewhere part of the future tense of the verb) in the following (the RV sometimes translates differently, as noted): Matthew 16:27 (1st part), lit., "is about to come;" Matthew 17:12, 22 ; Matthew 20:22 , RV, "am about;" Matthew 24:6 ; Mark 13:4 (2nd part), RV "are about;" Luke 9:44 ; Luke 21:7 (2nd part), RV, "are about;" Luke 21:36 ; Acts 23:3 ; Acts 24:15 ; Acts 26:2 , RV, "I am (to);" Romans 4:24 ; Romans 8:13 (1st part), RV, "must;" Romans 8:18 ; 2 Timothy 4:1 ; Hebrews 1:14 ; Hebrews 10:27 ; James 2:12 , RV, "are to;" 1 Peter 5:1 ; Revelation 1:19 ; Revelation 2:10 (1st and 2nd parts), RV, "art about," "is about;" Revelation 3:10 , RV, "is (to);" Revelation 17:8 (1st part), RV, "is about." See ABOUT , B.

Notes: (1) The use of "shall, shalt," is frequently part of the rendering of a future tense of a verb. (2) The phrase "it shall come to pass" is the rendering of the future tense of eimi, "to be," in Acts 2:17, 21 ; Acts 3:23 ; Romans 9:26 .

Shambles

1: μάκελλον
(Strong's #3111 — Noun Neuter — makellon — mak'-el-lon )

a term of late Greek borrowed from the Latin macellum, denotes a "meat market," translated "shambles" in 1 Corinthians 10:25 . The word is found in the koine, or vernacular Greek covering the time of the NT, illustrating this passage (see Deissmann, Light from the Ancient East, 274). A plan, drawn by Lietzmann, of a forum in Pompeii, shows both the slaughterhouse and the meat shop next to the chapel of Caesar. Some of the meat which had been used for sacrifical purposes was afterwards sold in the markets. The Apostle enjoins upon the believer to enter into no inquiry, so as to avoid the troubling of conscience (contrast 1 Corinthians 10:28 ).

Shame

A — 1: ἀτιμία
(Strong's #819 — Noun Feminine — atimia — at-ee-mee'-ah )

signifies (a) "shame, disgrace," Romans 1:26 , "vile (passions)," RV, lit., "(passions) of shame;" 1 Corinthians 11:14 ; (b) "dishonor," e.g. 2 Timothy 2:20 , where the idea of disgrace of "shame" does not attach to the use of the word; the meaning is that while in a great house some vessels are designed for purposes of honor, others have no particular honor (time) attached to their use (the prefix a simply negatives the idea of honor). See DISHONOR.

A — 2: αἰσχύνη
(Strong's #152 — Noun Feminine — aischune — ahee-skhoo'-nay )

See ASHAMED , B, No. 1.

:
( — — — )

1 Corinthians 6:5 ; 1 Corinthians 15:34 . See ASHAMED , B, No. 2.

A — 4: ἀσχημοσύνη
(Strong's #808 — Noun Feminine — aschemosune — as-kay-mos-oo'-nay )

denotes (a) "unseemliness," Romans 1:27 , RV (AV, "that which is unseemly"); (b) "shame, nakedness," Revelation 16:15 , a euphemism for No. 2.

B — 1: αἰσχρός
(Strong's #150 — Adjective — aischros — ahee-skhros' )

"base, shameful" (akin to aischos, "shame"), of that which is opposed to modesty or purity, is translated as a noun in 1 Corinthians 11:6 ; 1 Corinthians 14:35 , AV (RV, "shameful"); Ephesians 5:12 ; in Titus 1:11 , "filthy (lucre)," lit., "shameful (gain)." See FILTHY.

C — 1: ἀτιμάζω
(Strong's #818 — Verb — atimazo — at-im-ad'-zo )

"to dishonor, put to shame" (akin to A, No. 1): see DISHONOR , C, No. 1.

C — 2: ἐντρέπω
(Strong's #1788 — Verb — entrepo — en-trep'-o )

lit., "to turn in upon, to put to shame" (akin to A, No. 3), is translated "to shame (you)" in 1 Corinthians 4:14 . See ASHAMED , A, No. 4.

C — 3: καταισχύνω
(Strong's #2617 — Verb — kataischuno — kat-ahee-skhoo'-no )

"to put to shame" (kata, perhaps signifying "utterly"), is translated "ye ... shame (them)" in 1 Corinthians 11:22 , AV, RV, "ye ... put (them) to shame." See ASHAMED , A, No. 3.

C — 4: παραδειγματίζω
(Strong's #3856 — Verb — paradeigmatizo — par-ad-igue-mat-id'-zo )

signifies "to set forth as an example" (para, "beside," deiknumi, "to show"), and is used in Hebrews 6:6 of those Jews, who, though attracted to, and closely associated with, the Christian faith, without having experienced more than a tasting of the heavenly gift and partaking of the Holy Ghost (not actually receiving Him), were tempted to apostatize to Judaism, and, thereby crucifying the Son of God a second time, would "put Him to an open shame." So were criminals exposed. In the Sept., Numbers 25:4 ; Jeremiah 13:22 ; Ezekiel 28:17 .

Shamefastness

1: αἰδώς
(Strong's #127 — Noun Feminine — aidos — ahee-doce' )

"a sense of shame, modesty," is used regarding the demeanor of women in the church, 1 Timothy 2:9 (some mss. have it in Hebrews 12:28 for deos, "awe:" here only in NT). "Shamefastness is that modesty which is 'fast' or rooted in the character ... The change to 'shamefacedness' is the more to be regretted because shamefacedness ... has come rather to describe an awkward diffidence, such as we sometimes call sheepishness" (Davies; Bible English, p. 12).

As to aidos and aischune (see ASHAMED , B, No. 1), aidos is more objective, having regard to others; it is the stronger word. "Aidos would always restrain a good man from an unworthy act, aischune would sometimes restrain a bad one" (Trench, Syn. xix, xx).

Shamefully

* Note: This forms part of the rendering of (a) atimazo, Mark 12:4 , Luke 20:11 , see DISHONOR , C, No. 1, ENTREAT, Note, HANDLE, No. 4; (b) hubrizo, "to insult," Acts 14:5 , RV; 1 Thessalonians 2:2 , "were (RV, having been) shamefully entreated." See SPITEFULLY.

rendered "shapes" in Revelation 9:7 : see LIKENESS , No. 1.

B — 1: ἀποτόμως
(Strong's #664 — Adverb — apotomos — ap-ot-om'-oce )

signifies "abruptly, curtly," lit., "in a manner that cuts" (apo, "from," temno, "to cut," hence "sharply, severely," 2 Corinthians 13:10 , RV, "(that I may not... deal) sharply," AV, "(use) sharpness;" the pronoun "you" is to be understood, i.e., "that I may not use (or deal with) ... sharply;" Titus 1:13 , of rebuking. Cp. apotomia, "severity."

Shave

1: ξυράω
(Strong's #3587 — Verb — xurao — xoo-rah'-o )

a late form of xureo, or xuro, from xuron, "a razor," occurs in Acts 21:24 (Middle Voice), in connection with a vow (Numbers 6:2-18 ; cp. Acts 18:18 : see SHEAR); 1 Corinthians 11:5, 6 (2nd part in each).

She

* Note: The words under HE in their feminine forms are used for this pronoun.

For the "pouring out" of the Holy Spirit, Acts 10:45 , see POUR , No. 4. (The form in the last two passages might equally well come from No. 1, above.) See GUSH OUT , RUN , SPILL.

a diminutive of No. 1, "a little sheep," is found in the best texts in John 21:16, 17 (some have No. 1); distinct from arnia, "lambs" (ver. 15), but used as a term of endearment.

Note: For "keeping sheep," Luke 17:7 , RV, see CATTLE.

Sheep Gate, Sheep Market

1: προβατικός
(Strong's #4262 — Adjective — probatikos — prob-at-ik-os' )

an adjective, used in the grammatically feminine form, in John 5:2 , to agree with pule, "a gate," understood, RV, "sheep gate" (not with agora, "a market," AV, "sheep market").

Shew Before

* For SHEW BEFORE see FORESHEW

Shewbread

* Note: The phrase rendered "the shewbread" is formed by the combination of the nouns prothesis, "a setting forth" (pro, "before," tithemi, "to place") and artos, "a loaf" (in the plural), each with the article, Matthew 12:4 ; Mark 2:26 ; Luke 6:4 , lit., "the loaves of the setting forth;" in Hebrews 9:2 , lit., "the setting forth of the loaves." The corresponding OT phrases are lit., "bread of the face," Exodus 25:30 , i.e., the presence, referring to the Presence of God (cp. Isaiah 63:9 with Exodus 33:14, 15 ); "the bread of ordering," 1 Chronicles 9:32 , marg. In Numbers 4:7 it is called "the continual bread;" in 1 Samuel 21:4, 6 , "holy bread" (AV, "hallowed"). In the Sept. of 1 Kings 7:48 , it is called "the bread of the offering" (prosphora, "a bearing towards"). The twelve loaves, representing the tribes of Israel, were set in order every Sabbath day before the Lord, "on the behalf of the children," Leviticus 24:8 , RV (marg., and AV, "from"), "an everlasting covenant." The loaves symbolized the fact that on the basis of the sacrificial atonement of the Cross, believers are accepted before God, and nourished by Him in the Person of Christ. The showbread was partaken of by the priests, as representatives of the nation. Priesthood now being coextensive with all who belong to Christ, 1 Peter 2:5, 9 , He, the Living Bread, is the nourishment of all, and where He is, there, representatively, they are.

Blass (Philology of the Gospels, p. 186) thinks the solitary Lucan use of naus was due to a reminiscence of the Homeric phrase for beaching a "ship."

3: συντηρέω

B — 1: ἐπιφωνέω
(Strong's #2019 — Verb — epiphoneo — ep-ee-fo-neh'-o )

Sign

1: σημεῖον
(Strong's #4592 — Noun Neuter — semeion — say-mi'-on )

They wanted signs of an outward Messianic Kingdom, of temporal triumph, of material greatness for the chosen people. ... With such cravings the Gospel of a 'crucified Messiah' was to them a stumblingblock indeed" (Lightfoot); 1 Corinthians 14:22 ; (2) by demons, Revelation 16:14 ; (3) by false teachers or prophets, indications of assumed authority, e.g., Matthew 24:24 ; Mark 13:22 ; (4) by Satan through his special agents, 2 Thessalonians 2:9 ; Revelation 13:13, 14 ; Revelation 19:20 ; (d) of tokens portending future events, e.g., Matthew 24:3 , where "the sign of the Son of Man" signifies, subjectively, that the Son of Man is Himself the "sign" of what He is about to do; Mark 13:4 ; Luke 21:7, 11, 25 ; Acts 2:19 ; Revelation 12:1 , RV; 12:3, RV; 15:1.

"Signs" confirmatory of what God had accomplished in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, His resurrection and ascension, and of the sending of the Holy Spirit, were given to the Jews for their recognition, as at Pentecost, and supernatural acts by apostolic ministry, as well as by the supernatural operations in the churches, such as the gift of tongues and prophesyings; there is no record of the continuance of these latter after the circumstances recorded in Acts 19:1-20 .

Sin

A — 1: ἁμαρτία
(Strong's #266 — Noun Feminine — hamartia — ham-ar-tee'-ah )

is, lit., "a missing of the mark," but this etymological meaning is largely lost sight of in the NT. It is the most comprehensive term for moral obliquity. It is used of "sin" as (a) a principle or source of action, or an inward element producing acts, e.g., Romans 3:9 ; Romans 5:12, 13, 20 ; Romans 6:1, 2 ; Romans 7:7 (abstract for concrete); 7:8 (twice),9,11,13, "sin, that it might be shown to be sin," i.e., "sin became death to me, that it might be exposed in its heinous character:" in the clause, "sin might become exceeding sinful," i.e., through the holiness of the Law, the true nature of sin was designed to be manifested to the conscience;

(b) a governing principle or power, e.g., Romans 6:6 ; "(the body) of sin," here "sin" is spoken of as an organized power, acting through the members of the body, though the seat of "sin" is in the will (the body is the organic instrument); in the next clause, and in other passages, as follows, this governing principle is personified, e.g., Romans 5:21 ; Romans 6:12, 14, 17 ; Romans 7:11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 25 ; Romans 8:2 ; 1 Corinthians 15:56 ; Hebrews 3:13 ; Hebrews 11:25 ; Hebrews 12:4 ; James 1:15 (2nd part);

(c) a generic term (distinct from specific terms such as No. 2 yet sometimes inclusive of concrete wrong doing, e.g., John 8:21, 34, 46 ; John 9:41 ; John 15:22, 24 ; John 19:11 ); in Romans 8:3 , "God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh," lit., "flesh of sin," the flesh stands for the body, the instrument of indwelling "sin" [Christ, preexistently the Son of God, assumed human flesh, "of the substance of the Virgin Mary;" the reality of incarnation was His, without taint of sin (for homoioma, "likeness," see LIKENESS)], and as an offering for sin," i.e., "a sin offering" (so the Sept. e.g., in Leviticus 4:32 ; Leviticus 5:6-9 ), "condemned sin in the flesh," i.e., Christ, having taken human nature, "sin" apart (Hebrews 4:15 ), and having lived a sinless life, died under the condemnation and judgment due to our "sin;" for the generic sense see further, e.g., Hebrews 9:26 ; Hebrews 10:6, 8, 18 ; Hebrews 13:11 ; 1 John 1:7, 8 ; 1 John 3:4 (1st part; in the 2nd part, "sin" is defined as "lawlessness," RV),8,9; in these verses the AV use of the verb to commit is misleading; not the committal of an act is in view, but a continous course of "sin," as indicated by the RV, "doeth." The Apostle's use of the present tense of poieo, "to do," virtually expresses the meaning of prasso, "to practice," which John does not use (it is not infrequent in this sense in Paul's Epp., e.g., Romans 1:32 , RV; 2:1; Galatians 5:21 ; Philippians 4:9 ); 1 Peter 4:1 (singular in the best texts), lit., "has been made to cease from sin," i.e., as a result of suffering in the flesh, the mortifying of our members, and of obedience to a Savior who suffered in flesh. Such no longer lives in the flesh, "to the lusts of men, but to the will of God;" sometimes the word is used as virtually equivalent to a condition of "sin," e.g., John 1:29 , "the sin (not sins) of the world;" 1 Corinthians 15:17 ; or a course of "sin," characterized by continuous acts, e.g., 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ; in 1 John 5:16 (2nd part) the RV marg., is probably to be preferred, "there is sin unto death," not a special act of "sin," but the state or condition producing acts; in 1 John 5:17 , "all unrighteousness is sin" is not a definition of "sin" (as in 1 John 3:4 ), it gives a specification of the term in its generic sense;

(d) a sinful deed, an act of "sin," e.g., Matthew 12:31 ; Acts 7:60 ; James 1:15 (1st part); 2:9; 4:17; 5:15,20; 1 John 5:16 (1st part).

Notes: (1) Christ is predicated as having been without "sin" in every respect, e.g., (a), (b), (c) above, 2 Corinthians 5:21 (1st part); 1 John 3:5 ; John 14:30 ; (d) John 8:46 ; Hebrews 4:15 ; 1 Peter 2:22 . (2) In Hebrews 9:28 (2nd part) the reference is to a "sin" offering. (3) In 2 Corinthians 5:21 , "Him ... He made to be sin" indicates that God dealt with Him as He must deal with "sin," and that Christ fulfilled what was typified in the guilt offering. (4) For the phrase "man of sin" in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 , see INIQUITY , No. 1.

A — 2: ἁμάρτημα
(Strong's #265 — Noun Neuter — hamartema — ham-ar'-tay-mah )

akin to No. 1, denotes "an act of disobedience to Divine law" [as distinct from No. 1 (a), (b), (c)]; plural in Mark 3:28 ; Romans 3:25 ; 2 Peter 1:9 , in some texts; sing. in Mark 3:29 (some mss. have krisis, AV, "damnation"); 1 Corinthians 6:18 .

Notes: (1) For paraptoma, rendered "sins" in the AV in Ephesians 1:7 ; Ephesians 2:5 ; Colossians 2:13 (RV, "trespass"), see TRESPASS. In James 5:16 , the best texts have No. 1 (RV, "sins"). (2) For synonymous terms see DISOBEDIENCE , ERROR , FAULT , INIQUITY , TRANSGRESSION , UNGODLINESS.

C — 2: προαμαρτάνω

C — 1: εἰλικρινεία
(Strong's #1505 — Noun Feminine — eilikrinia — i-lik-ree'-ni-ah )

akin to A, No. 3 denotes "sincerity, purity;" it is described metaphorically in 1 Corinthians 5:8 as "unleavened (bread);" in 2 Corinthians 1:12 , "sincerity (of God)," RV, AV, "(godly) sincerity," it describes a quality possessed by God, as that which is to characterize the conduct of believers; in 2 Corinthians 2:17 it is used of the rightful ministry of the Scriptures.

Notes: (1) For 2 Corinthians 8:8 , see A, No. 2. (2) In Ephesians 6:24 , AV, aphtharsia, "incorruption," is translated "sincerity" (RV, "uncorruptness," AV marg., "incorruption"); some inferior mss. have it in Titus 2:7 , AV; the RV follows those in which it is absent.

In the Synoptic Gospels the word is used not infrequently, by the Pharisees, of publicans (tax collectors) and women of ill repute, e.g., "a woman which was in the city, a sinner," Luke 7:37 ; "a man that is a sinner," Luke 19:7 . In Galatians 2:15 , in the clause "not sinners of the Gentiles," the Apostle is taking the Judaizers on their own ground, ironically reminding them of their claim to moral superiority over Gentiles; he proceeds to show that the Jews are equally sinners with Gentiles.

Note: In Luke 13:4 , AV, opheiletes, "a debtor," is translated "sinners" (RV, "offenders;" RV and AV marg., "debtors").
