Guardian — Gush Out

Guardian

1: ἐπίτροπος
(Strong's #2012 — Noun Masculine — epitropos — ep-it'-rop-os )

lit., "one to whose care something is committed" (epi, "upon," trepo, "to turn" or "direct"), is rendered "guardians" in Galatians 4:2 , RV, AV, "tutors" (in Matthew 20:8 ; Luke 8:3 , "steward").

"The corresponding verb, epitrepo, is translated "permit, give leave, suffer;" see 1 Corinthians 14:34 ; 1 Corinthians 16:7 ; 1 Timothy 2:12 , e.g., ... An allied noun, epitrope, is translated "commission" in Acts 26:12 and refers to delegated authority over persons. This usage of cognate words suggests that the epitropos was a superior servant responsible for the persons composing the household, whether children or slaves." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 180.]

Guest

1: ἀνάκειμαι
(Strong's #345 — Verb — anakeimai — an-ak-i'-mahee )

"to recline at table," frequently rendered "to sit at meat," is used in its present participial form (lit., "reclining ones") as a noun denoting "guests," in Matthew 22:10, 11 . See LEAN , LIE , SIT.

Note: For kataluo, "to unloose," rendered "to be a guest" in Luke 19:7 , AV, (RV, "to lodge"), see LODGE.

Guest-Chamber

1: κατάλυμα
(Strong's #2646 — Noun Neuter — kataluma — kat-al'-oo-mah )

akin to kataluo (see Note above), signifies (a) "an inn, lodging-place," Luke 2:7 ; (b) "a guest-room," Mark 14:14 ; Luke 22:11 . The word lit. signifies "a loosening down" (kata, "down," luo, "to loose"), used of the place where travelers and their beasts untied their packages, girdles and sandals. "In the East, no figure is more invested with chivalry than the guest. In his own right he cannot cross the threshold, but when once he is invited in, all do him honor and unite in rendering service; cp. Genesis 18:19 ; Judges 19:9, 15 ." These two passages in the NT "concern a room in a private house, which the owner readily placed at the disposal of Jesus and His disciples for the celebration of the Passover ... At the festivals of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles the people were commanded to repair to Jerusalem; and it was a boast of the Rabbis that, notwithstanding the enormous crowds, no man could truthfully say to his fellow, 'I have not found a fire where to roast my paschal lamb in Jerusalem,' or 'I have not found a bed in Jerusalem to lie in,' or 'My lodging is too strait in Jerusalem'" (Hasting, Bib. Dic. GUESTCHAMBER and INN). See INN.

(Strong's #3595 — Noun Masculine — hodegos — hod-ayg-os' )

"a leader on the way" (hodos, "a way," hegeomai, "to lead"), "a guide," is used (a) literally, in Acts 1:16 ; (b) figuratively, Matthew 15:14 , RV, "guides" (AV, "leaders"); Matthew 23:16, 24 , "guides;" Romans 2:19 , "a guide." Cp. B, No. 1.

(2) In Matthew 23:18 , opheilo, "to owe, to be indebted, to fail in duty, be a delinquent," is misrendered "guilty" in the AV; RV, "a debtor."

Gulf

1: χάσμα
(Strong's #5490 — Noun Neuter — chasma — khas'-mah )
