Habitation

1: οἰκητήριον
(Strong's #3613 — Noun Neuter — oiketerion — oy-kay-tay'-ree-on )

"a habitation" (from oiketer, "an inhabitant," and oikos, "a dwelling"), is used in Jude 1:6 , of the heavenly region appointed by God as the dwelling place of angeles; in 2 Corinthians 5:2 , RV, "habitation," AV, "house," figuratively of the spiritual bodies of believers when raised or changed at the return of the Lord. See HOUSE.

2: κατοικητήριον
(Strong's #2732 — Noun Neuter — katoiketerion — kat-oy-kay-tay'-ree-on )

(kata, "down," used intensively, and No. 1), implying more permanency than No. 1, is used in Ephesians 2:22 of the church as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit; in Revelation 18:2 of Babylon, figuratively, as the dwelling place of demons.

3: κατοικία
(Strong's #2733 — Noun Feminine — katoikia — kat-oy-kee'-ah )

"a settlement, colony, dwelling" (kata, and oikos, see above), is used in Acts 17:26 , of the localities Divinely appointed as the dwelling places of the nations.

4: ἔπαυλις
(Strong's #1886 — Noun Feminine — epaulis — ep'-ow-lis )

"a farm, a dwelling" (epi, "upon," aulis, "a place in which to pass the night, a country house, cottage or cabin, a fold"), is used in Acts 1:20 of the habitation of Judas.

5: σκηνή
(Strong's #4633 — Noun Feminine — skene — skay-nay' )

akin to skenoo, "to dwell in a tent or tabernacle," is rendered "habitations" in Luke 16:9 , AV (RV, "tabernacles"), of the eternal dwelling places of the redeemed. See TABERNACLE.

6: σκήνωμα
(Strong's #4638 — Noun Neuter — skenoma — skay'-no-mah )

"a booth," or "tent pitched" (akin to No. 5), is used of the Temple as God's dwelling, as that which David desired to build, Acts 7:46 (RV, "habitation," AV, "tabernacle"); metaphorically of the body as a temporary tabernacle, 2 Peter 1:13, 14 . See TABERNACLE.

Hades

1: ᾅδης
(Strong's #86 — Noun Location — hades — hah'-dace )

"the region of departed spirits of the lost" (but including the blessed dead in periods preceding the ascension of Christ). It has been thought by some that the word etymologically meant "the unseen" (from a, negative, and eido, "to see"), but this derivation is questionable; a more probable derivation is from hado, signifying "all-receiving." It corresponds to "Sheol" in the OT. In the AV of the OT and NT; it has been unhappily rendered "hell," e.g., Psalms 16:10 ; or "the grave," e.g., Genesis 37:35 ; or "the pit," Numbers 16:30, 33 ; in the NT the revisers have always used the rendering "hades;" in the OT, they have not been uniform in the translation, e.g. in Isaiah 14:15 "hell" (marg., "Sheol"); usually they have "Sheol" in the text and "the grave" in the margin. It never denotes the grave, nor is the permanent region of the lost; in point of time it is, for such, intermediate between decease and the doom of Gehenna. For the condition, see Luke 16:23-31 .

The word is used four times in the Gospels, and always by the Lord, Matthew 11:23 ; Matthew 16:18 ; Luke 10:15 ; Luke 16:23 ; it is used with reference to the soul of Christ, Acts 2:27, 31 ; Christ declares that He has the keys of it, Revelation 1:18 ; in Revelation 6:8 it is personified, with the signification of the temporary destiny of the doomed; it is to give up those who are therein, Revelation 20:13 , and is to be cast into the lake of fire, ver. 14.

Note: In 1 Corinthians 15:55 the most authentic mss. have thanatos, "death," in the 2nd part of the verse, instead of "hades," which the AV wrongly renders "grave" ("hell," in the marg.).

Hail

1: χάλαζα
(Strong's #5464 — Noun Feminine — chalaza — khal'-ad-zah )

akin to chalao, "to let loose, let fall," is always used as an instrument of Divine judgment, and is found in the NT in Revelation 8:7 ; Revelation 11:19 ; Revelation 16:21 .

Hair

A — 1: θρίξ
(Strong's #2359 — Noun Feminine — thrix — threeks )

denotes the "hair," whether of beast, as of the camel's "hair" which formed the raiment of John the Baptist, Matthew 3:4 ; Mark 1:6 ; or of man. Regarding the latter (a) it is used to signify the minutest detail, as that which illustrates the exceeding care and protection bestowed by God upon His children, Matthew 10:30 ; Luke 12:7 ; Luke 21:18 ; Acts 27:34 ; (b) as the Jews swore by the "hair," the Lord used the natural inability to make one "hair" white or black, as one of the reasons for abstinence from oaths, Matthew 5:36 ; (c) while long "hair" is a glory to a woman (see B), and to wear it loose or dishevelled is a dishonor, yet the woman who wiped Christ's feet with her "hair" (in place of the towel which Simon the Pharisee omitted to provide), despised the shame in her penitent devotion to the Lord (slaves were accustomed to wipe their masters' feet), Luke 7:38, 44 (RV, "hair"); see also John 11:2 ; John 12:3 ; (d) the dazzling whiteness of the head and "hair" of the Son of Man in the vision of Revelation 1:14 is suggestive of the holiness and wisdom of "the Ancient of Days;" (e) the long "hair" of the spirit-beings described as locusts in Revelation 9:8 is perhaps indicative of their subjection of their satanic master (cp. 1 Corinthians 11:10 , RV); (f) Christian women are exhorted to refrain from adorning their "hair" for outward show, 1 Peter 3:3 .

Note: Goat's hair was used in tentmaking, as, e.g., in the case of Paul's occupation, Acts 18:3 ; the haircloth of Cilicia, his native province, was noted, being known in commerce as cilicium.

A — 2: κόμη
(Strong's #2864 — Noun Feminine — kome — kom'-ay )

is used only of "human hair," but not in the NT of the ornamental. The word is found in 1 Corinthians 11:15 , where the context shows that the "covering" provided in the long "hair" of the woman is as a veil, a sign of subjection to authority, as indicated in the headships spoken of in 1 Corinthians 11:1-10 .

B — 1: κομάω
(Strong's #2863 — Verb — komao — kom-ah'-o )

signifies "to let the hair grow long, to wear long hair," a glory to a woman, a dishonor to a man (as taught by nature), 1 Corinthians 11:14, 15 .

(Strong's #5155 — Adjective — trichinos — trikh'-ee-nos )

akin to A, No. 1, signifies "hairy, made of hair," Revelation 6:12 , lit., "hairy sackcloth." Cp. SACKCLOTH.

2: κατασύρω
(Strong's #2694 — Verb — katasuro — kat-as-oo'-ro )

an intensive form of No. 1, lit., "to pull down" (kata), hence, "to drag away," is used in Luke 12:58 , of haling a person before a judge.

Half

1: ἥμισυς
(Strong's #2255 — Adjective — hemisus — hay'-mee-soo )

an adjective, is used (a) as such in the neuter plural, in Luke 19:8 , lit., "the halves (of my goods);" (b) as a noun, in the neuter sing., "the half," Mark 6:23 ; "half (a time)," Revelation 12:14 ; "a half," Revelation 11:9, 11 , RV.

Half Dead

Hallelujah

1: ἁλληλουϊά

signifies "Praise ye Jah." It occurs as a short doxology in the Psalms, usually at the beginning, e.g., Psalms 111 ; Psalms 112 , or the end, e.g., Psalms 104 ; Psalms 105 , or both, e.g., Psalms 106 ; Psalms 135 (where it is also used in ver. 3), Psalms 146 ; Psalms 147 ; Psalms 148 ; Psalms 149 ; Psalms 150 . In the NT it is found in Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6 , as the keynote in the song of the great multitude in heaven. "Alleluia," without the initial "H," is a misspelling.

Hallow

1: ἁγιάζω
(Strong's #37 — Verb — hagiazo — hag-ee-ad'-zo )

"to make holy" (from hagios, "holy"), signifies to set apart for God, to sanctify, to make a person or thing the opposite of koinos, "common;" it is translated "Hallowed," with reference to the name of God the Father in the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:9 ; Luke 11:2 . See SANCTIFY.

Handle

1: ψηλαφάω

"to feel, touch, handle," is rendered by the latter verb in Luke 24:39 , in the Lord's invitation to the disciples to accept the evidence of His resurrection in His being bodily in their midst; in 1 John 1:1 , in the Apostle's testimony (against the gnostic error that Christ had been merely a phantom) that he and his fellow Apostles had handled Him. See FEEL.

2: θιγγάνω
(Strong's #2345 — Verb — thingano — thing-gan'-o )

signifies (a) "to touch, to handle" (though "to handle" is rather stronger than the actual significance compared with No 1). In Colossians 2:21 the RV renders it "touch," and the first verb (hapto, "to lay hold of") "handle," i.e., "handle not, nor taste, nor touch;" "touch" is the appropriate rendering; in Hebrews 12:20 it is said of a beast's touching Mount Sinai; (b) "to touch by way of injuring," Hebrews 11:28 . See TOUCH. In the Sept., Exodus 19:12 .

(Strong's #3718 — Verb — orthotomeo — or-thot-om-eh'-o )

"to cut straight," as in road-making (orthos, "straight," temno, "to cut"), is used metaphorically in 2 Timothy 2:15 , of "handling aright (the word of truth)," RV (AV, "rightly dividing"). The stress is on orthos; the Word of God is to be "handled" strictly along the lines of its teaching. If the metaphor is taken from plowing, cutting a straight furrow, the word would express a careful cultivation, the Word of God viewed as ground designed to give the best results from its ministry and in the life. See DIVIDE. In the Sept., in Proverbs 3:6 ; Proverbs 11:5 , the knowledge of God's wisdom and the just dealing of the upright are enjoined as producing a straight walk in the life.

See HURT , INJURY , REPROACH.

B — 1: κακόω

1: ἀκέραιος
(Strong's #185 — Adjective — akeraios — ak-er'-ah-yos )

lit., "unmixed, with absence of foreign mixture" (from a, negative, and kerannumi, "to mix"), "pure," is used metaphorically in the NT of what is guileless, sincere, Matthew 10:16 , "harmless" (marg., "simple"), i.e., with the simplicity of a single eye, discerning what is evil, and choosing only what glorifies God; Romans 16:19 , "simple (unto that which is evil)," AV marg., "harmless;" Philippians 2:15 , "harmless," AV marg., "sincere." The Greeks used it of wine unmixed with water, of unalloyed metal; in the papyri writings it is used of a loan the interest of which is guaranteed (Moulton and Milligan, Vocab.). Trench compares it and synonymous words as follows: "as the akakos (see No. 2, below) has no harmfulness in him, and the adolos no guile, so the akeraios no foreign mixture, and the haplous no folds" (Syn. lvi). Haplous is said of the single eye, Matthew 6:22 ; Luke 11:34 .

2: ἄκακος
(Strong's #172 — Adjective — akakos — ak'-ak-os )

the negative of kakos (see HARM , A, No. 1), "void of evil," is rendered "harmless" in Hebrews 7:26 (RV, "guileless"), of the character of Christ as a High Priest; in Romans 16:18 , RV, "innocent," AV, "simple."

The beginning of "harvest" varied according to natural conditions, but took place on the average about the middle of April in the eastern lowlands of Palestine, in the latter part of the month in the coast plains and a little later in high districts. Barley "harvest" usually came first and then wheat. "Harvesting" lasted about seven weeks, and was the occasion of festivities.

denotes (a) intransitively, "to hasten," Luke 2:16 , "with haste," lit., "(they came) hastening;" Luke 19:5, 6 ; Acts 20:16 ; Acts 22:18 ; (b) transitively, "to desire earnestly," 2 Peter 3:12 , RV, "earnestly desiring" (marg., "hastening"), AV, "hasting" (the day of God), i.e., in our practical fellowship with God as those who are appointed by Him as instruments through prayer and service for the accomplishment of His purposes, purposes which will be unthwartably fulfilled both in time and manner of accomplishment. In this way the earnest desire will find its fulfillment.

C — 1: ταχέως
(Strong's #5030 — Adverb — tacheos — takh-eh'-oce )

"quickly," is used in a warning to lay hands "hastily" on no man (with a suggestion of rashness), 1 Timothy 5:22 , RV (AV, "suddenly"); in John 11:31 , RV, "(she rose up) quickly" (AV, "hastily"). See QUICKLY , SHORTLY , SUDDENLY.

A — 1: μισέω
(Strong's #3404 — Verb — miseo — mis-eh'-o )

B — 1: στυγητός
(Strong's #4767 — Adjective — stugetos — stoog-nay-tos' )

"hateful" (from stugeo, "to hate," not found in the NT), is used in Titus 3:3 .

C — 2: θεοστυγής
(Strong's #2319 — Adjective — theostuges — theh-os-too-gace' )

from theos, "God," and stugeo (see B), is used in Romans 1:30 , AV, and RV, marg., "haters of God," RV, "hateful to God;" the former rendering is appropriate to what is expressed by the next words, "insolent," "haughty," but the RV text seems to give the true meaning. Lightfoot quotes from the Epistle of Clement of Rome, in confirmation of this, "those who practice these things are hateful to God."

Haughty

1: ὑπερήφανος
(Strong's #5244 — Adjective — huperephanos — hoop-er-ay'-fan-os )

"showing oneself above others" (huper, "over," phainomai, "to appear"), though often denoting preeminent, is always used in the NT in the evil sense of "arrogant, disdainful, haughty;" it is rendered "haughty" in Romans 1:30 ; 2 Timothy 3:2 , RV, AV, "proud," but "proud" in both versions in Luke 1:51 ; James 4:6 ; 1 Peter 5:5 ; in the last two it is set in opposition to tapeinos, "humble, lowly." Cp. the noun huperephania, Mark 7:22 , "pride."

Have

1: ἔχω
(Strong's #2192 — Verb — echo — ekh'-o )

the usual verb for "to have," is used with the following meanings: (a) "to hold, in the hand," etc., e.g., Revelation 1:16 ; Revelation 5:8 ; (b) "to hold fast, keep," Luke 19:20 ; metaphorically, of the mind and conduct, e.g., Mark 16:8 ; John 14:21 ; Romans 1:28 ; 1 Timothy 3:9 ; 2 Timothy 1:13 ; (c) "to hold on, cling to, be next to," e.g., of accompaniment, Hebrews 6:9 , "things that accompany (salvation)," lit., "the things holding themselves of salvation" (RV, marg., "are near to"); of place, Mark 1:38 , "next (towns)," lit., "towns holding nigh;" of time, e.g., Luke 13:33 , "(the day) following," lit., "the holding (day);" Acts 13:44 ; Acts 20:15 ; Acts 21:26 ; (d) "to hold, to count, consider, regard," e.g., Matthew 14:5 ; Matthew 21:46 ; Mark 11:32 ; Luke 14:18 ; Philemon 1:17 ; (e) "to involve," Hebrews 10:35 ; James 1:4 ; 1 John 4:18 ; (f) "to wear," of clothing, arms, etc., e.g., Matthew 3:4 ; Matthew 22:12 ; John 18:10 ; (g) "to be with child," of a woman, Mark 13:17 ; Romans 9:10 (lit., "having conception"); (h) "to possess," the most frequent use, e.g., Matthew 8:20 ; Matthew 19:22 ; Acts 9:14 ; 1 Thessalonians 3:6 ; (i) of complaints, disputes, Matthew 5:23 ; Mark 11:25 ; Acts 24:19 ; Revelation 2:4, 20 ; (j) of ability, power, e.g., Luke 12:4 ; Acts 4:14 (lit., "had nothing to say"); (k) of necessity, e.g., Luke 12:50 ; Acts 23:17-19 ; (l) "to be in a certain condition," as, of readiness, Acts 21:12 (lit., "I have readily"); of illness, Matthew 4:24 , "all that were sick" (lit., "that had themselves sickly"); Mark 5:23 , "lieth (lit., "hath herself") at the point of death;" Mark 16:18 , "they shall recover" (lit., "shall have themselves well"); John 4:52 , "he began to amend" (lit., "he had himself better"); of evil works, 1 Timothy 5:25 , "they that are otherwise," (lit., "the things having otherwise"); to be so, e.g., Acts 7:1 , "are these things so?" (lit., "have these things thus?"); of time, Acts 24:25 , "for this time" (lit., "the thing having now").

2: ἀπέχω
(Strong's #568 — Verb — apecho — ap-ekh'-o )

denotes "to have in full, to have received" (apo, "from," and No. 1), Matthew 6:2, 5, 16 , RV, "have received," for AV, "have;" Luke 6:24 , AV and RV, "have received," but Philippians 4:18 , "I have;" Philemon 1:15 , "(that) thou shouldest have (him)" (AV, "receive"). Deissmann, in Light from the Ancient East, and Moulton and Milligan (Vocab. of Gk. Test.) show that the verb was constantly used "as a technical expression in drawing up a receipt. Consequently in the Sermon on the Mount we are led to understand 'they have received their reward' as 'they have signed the receipt of their reward: their right to receive their reward is realized, precisely as if they had already given a receipt for it.'"

Is there not a hint of this in Paul's word to Philemon concerning receiving Onesimus (Philemon 1:17 )? Philemon would give the Apostle a receipt for his payment in sending him. This is in keeping with the metaphorical terms of finance in Philemon 1:18, 19 . See ABSTAIN.

3: γίνομαι
(Strong's #1096 — Verb — ginomai — ghin'-om-ahee )

"to begin to be, come to pass, happen," is rendered "have" in Matthew 18:12 ; "had" in Acts 15:2 ; "shall have" in 1 Corinthians 4:5 , lit., "praise shall be," or come to pass. See BECOME.

4: μεταλαμβάνω
(Strong's #3335 — Verb — metalambano — met-al-am-ban'-o )

"to have," or "get a share of," is rendered "I have (a convenient season)," in Acts 24:25 . See EAT , PARTAKE , RECEIVE , TAKE.

5: ὑπάρχω
(Strong's #5225 — Verb — huparcho — hoop-ar'-kho )

"to be in existence, to be ready, at hand," is translated by the verb "to have" in Acts 3:6 , lit., "silver and gold is not to me" (in the next clause, "such as I have," echo is used); Acts 4:37 , "having (land)," lit., "(land) being (to him);" Matthew 19:21 , "that (thou) hast," lit., "(things that) are (thine)," i.e., "thy belongings;" similarly Luke 12:33, 44 ; Luke 14:33 . See BEING.

6: ἀντιβάλλω
(Strong's #474 — Verb — antiballo — an-tee-bal'-lo )

lit., "to throw in turn, exchange" (anti. "corresponding to," ballo, "to throw"), hence, metaphorically, "to exchange thoughts," is used in Luke 24:27 , "ye have," i.e., "ye exchange."

7: εἰμί
(Strong's #1510 — verb — eimi — i-mee' )

"to be, is often used in its various forms with some case of the personal pronoun, to signify "to be to, or of, a person," e.g., Matthew 19:27 , "(what then) shall we have," lit., "what then shall be to us?;" Acts 21:23 , "we have four men," lit., "there are to us, etc."

8: ἐνδύω
(Strong's #1746 — Verb — enduo — en-doo'-o )

"to put on," is rendered "having on" in Ephesians 6:14 . See CLOTHE.

Notes: (1) In John 5:4 (in those mss. which contain the passage), katecho, "to hold fast," is used in the Passive Voice, in the phrase "whatsoever disease he had," lit., "(by whatsoever disease) he was held." (2) In Mark 12:22 , in some mss., lambano, "to take" or "receive," is translated "had," in the statement "the seven had her;" in Acts 25:16 , RV, "have had" (AV, "have"); in Hebrews 11:36 , "had." (3) In Matthew 27:19 , "Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man" translates what is lit. "nothing to thee and that righteous man," the verb being omitted. Similarly with the phrase, "What have I to do with thee?" lit., "what (is) to me and thee?" Mark 5:7 ; Luke 8:28 ; John 2:4 , where Westcott translates it "What is there to Me and to thee?;" Ellicott, "What is that to Me and to thee," i.e., "What is My concern and thine in the matter?" There is certainly nothing disparaging in the question. On the contrary, it answers what must have been the thought in Mary's heart, and suggests that while there is no obligation either on Him or her, yet the need is a case for rendering help. For the construction with the plural pronoun see Matthew 8:29 ; Mark 1:24 ; Luke 4:34 . (4) In Hebrews 4:13 , "with whom we have to do" is, lit., "with whom (is) the account (logos) to us." (5) In Hebrews 13:5 , "such things as ye have" is, lit., "the (things) present." (6) In Mark 5:26 , "all that she had" is, lit., "all the (things) with her." (7) For Luke 15:31 , AV, "all that I have," lit., "all my (things)," see RV. (8) For eneimi, Luke 11:41 , "ye have," see WITHIN , Note (h).

Haven

1: λιμήν
(Strong's #3040 — Noun Masculine — limen — lee-mane' )

is mentioned in Acts 27:8 , "Fair Havens," and Acts 27:12 ; for the first of these see FAIR. The first mention in the Bible is in Genesis 49:13 (se RV marg.).

Havoc

1: πορθέω
(Strong's #4199 — Verb — portheo — por-theh'-o )

"to destroy, ravage, lay waste," is used of the persecution inflicted by Saul of Tarsus on the church in Jerusalem, Acts 9:21 , and Galatians 1:23 , RV, "made havoc," for AV, "destroyed;" Galatians 1:13 , ditto, for AV, "wasted." See DESTROY , Note.

2: παραβουλεύομαι
(Strong's #3851 — Verb — paraboleuomai — par-ab-ool-yoo'-om-ahee )

lit., "to throw aside" (para, "aside," ballo, "to throw"), hence, "to expose oneself to danger, to hazard one's life," is said of Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:30 , RV, "hazarding." Some mss. have parabouleuomai here, "to consult amiss," AV, "not regarding."

He

1: αὐτός
(Strong's #846 — pronoun — autos — ow-tos' )

"he himself and no other," emphatic, e.g., Matthew 1:21 , where the RV brings out the emphasis by the rendering "it is He;" Matthew 3:11 (last clause), where the repeated "He" brings out the emphasis; in some cases it can be marked only by a circumlocution which would not constitute a translation, e.g., Matthew 8:24 ; this use is very frequent, especially in the Gospels, the Epistles of John and the Apocalypse; see also, e.g., Ephesians 2:14 ; Ephesians 4:11 ; Ephesians 5:23, 27 . See SAME , SELF , THIS , VERY.

2: αὗται
(Strong's #3778 — pronoun — houtos — hoo'-tos, hoo'-toy, how'-tay, how'-tahee )

"this, this person here," is always emphatic; it is used with this meaning, sometimes to refer to what precedes, e.g., Matthew 5:19 , "he (shall be called great);" John 6:46 , "he (hath seen);" often rendered "this," e.g., Romans 9:9 , or "this man," e.g., Matthew 27:58 , RV; James 1:25 ; "the same," e.g., Luke 9:48 . See THAT , THIS , THESE.

(Strong's #1565 — pronoun — ekeinos — ek-i'-nos )

See OTHER , THAT , THIS.

Note: The indefinite pronoun tis, "anyone, any man," is rendered "he" in Acts 4:35 , AV (RV, rightly, "any one"); in Hebrews 10:28 , RV, "a man."

He Himself

1: αὐτός
(Strong's #846 — pronoun — autos — ow-tos' )

see No. 1, above.

2: ἑαυτοῦ

(Strong's #3739 — pronoun — hos — hos, hay, ho )

the relative pronoun "who," is sometimes rendered "he that," e.g., Matthew 10:38 ; with the particle an, expressing possibility, uncertainty or a condition, signifying "whosoever," Mark 3:29 , AV (RV, "whosoever"); Mark 4:25 ; Mark 9:40 (with an, in the best mss.). See WHATSOEVER , WHICH , WHO , WHOSOEVER.

2: ὅς
(Strong's #3739 1065 — pronoun — hosge — hos, hay, ho )

"who even" (No. 1, and the particle ge), indicates a greater in regard to a less, Romans 8:32 , "He that (spared not)."

Notes: (1) In Revelation 13:10 , ei tis, "if anyone," is rendered "if any man" in the RV, for AV, "he that."

(2) In Matthew 23:12 , hostis, No. 1, combined with the indefinite pronoun tis (see prceding note), is properly rendered "whosoever," RV , for AV, "he that."

Head

1: κεφαλή
(Strong's #2776 — Noun Feminine — kephale — kef-al-ay' )

besides its natural significance, is used (a) figuratively in Romans 12:20 , of heaping coals of fire on a "head" (see COALS); in Acts 18:6 , "Your blood be upon your own heads," i.e., "your blood-guiltiness rest upon your own persons," a mode of expression frequent in the OT, and perhaps here directly connected with Ezekiel 3:18, 20 ; Ezekiel 33:6, 8 ; see also Leviticus 20:16 ; 2 Samuel 1:16 ; 1 Kings 2:37 ; (b) metaphorically, of the authority or direction of God in relation to Christ, of Christ in relation to believing men, of the husband in relation to the wife, 1 Corinthians 11:3 ; of Christ in relation to the Church, Ephesians 1:22 ; Ephesians 4:15 ; Ephesians 5:23 ; Colossians 1:18 ; Colossians 2:19 ; of Christ in relation to principalities and powers, Colossians 2:10 . As to 1 Corinthians 11:10 , taken in connection with the context, the word "authority" probably stands, by metonymy, for a sign of authority (RV), the angels being witnesses of the preeminent relationship as established by God in the creation of man as just mentioned, with the spiritual significance regarding the position of Christ in relation to the Church; cp. Ephesians 3:10 ; it is used of Christ as the foundation of the spiritual building set forth by the Temple, with its "corner stone," Matthew 21:42 ; symbolically also of the imperial rulers of the Roman power, as seen in the apocalyptic visions, Revelation 13:1, 3 ; Revelation 17:3, 7, 9 .

(Strong's #4312 — Adjective — propetes — prop-et-ace' )

lit. means "falling forwards" (from pro, "forwards," and pipto, "to fall"); it is used metaphorically to signify "precipitate, rash, reckless," and is said (a) of persons, 2 Timothy 3:4 ; "headstrong" is the appropriate rendering; (b) of things, Acts 19:36 , RV, "(nothing) rash" (AV, "rashly").

(Strong's #2390 — Verb — iaomai — ee-ah'-om-ahee )

"to heal," is used (a) of physical treatment 22 times; in Matthew 15:28 , AV, "made whole," RV, "healed;" so in Acts 9:34 ; (b) figuratively, of spiritual "healing," Matthew 13:15 ; John 12:40 ; Acts 28:27 ; Hebrews 12:13 ; 1 Peter 2:24 ; possibly, James 5:16 includes both (a) and (b); some mss. have the word, with sense (b), in Luke 4:18 .

akin to A, No. 2, stresses the process as reaching completion, Luke 13:32 , "cures," of the acts of Christ in the days of His flesh; Acts 4:22, 30 , "to heal," lit. 'unto healing.'

Health

1: ὑγιαίνω
(Strong's #5198 — Verb — hugianio — hoog-ee-ah'ee-no )

denotes "to be healthy, sound, in good health" (Eng., "hygiene"), rendered "mayest be in health," in 3 John 1:2 ; rendered "safe and sound" in Luke 15:27 . See SAFE , D, No. 2, SOUND, WHOLE, B, No. 1.

Note: In Acts 27:34 , soteria, "salvation, safety," is translated "health" in the AV; the RV, gives the right meaning, "safety."

Heap

1: σωρεύω
(Strong's #4987 — Verb — soreuo — sore-yoo'-o )

"to heap one thing on another," is said "heaping" coals of fire on the head, Romans 12:20 (for the meaning see COALS); in 2 Timothy 3:6 it is used metaphorically of women "laden" (or overwhelmed) with sins. See LADEN. In the Sept. Proverbs 25:22 .

2: ἐπισωρεύω
(Strong's #2002 — Verb — episoreuo — ep-ee-so-ryoo'-o )

"to heap upon" or "together" (epi, "upon," and No. 1), is used metaphorically in 2 Timothy 4:3 of appropriating a number of teachers to suit the liking of those who do so. The reference may be to those who, like the Athenians, run about to hear and follow those who proclaim new ideas of their own invention.

Hear, Hearing

A — 1: ἀκούω
(Strong's #191 — Verb — akouo — ak-oo'-o )

the usual word denoting "to hear," is used (a) intransitively, e.g., Matthew 11:15 ; Mark 4:23 ; (b) transitively when the object is expressed, sometimes in the accusative case, sometimes in the genitive. Thus in Acts 9:7 , "hearing the voice," the noun "voice" is in the partitive genitive case [i.e., hearing (something) of], whereas in Acts 22:9 , "they heard not the voice," the construction is with the accusative. This removes the idea of any contradiction. The former indicates a "hearing" of the sound, the latter indicates the meaning or message of the voice (this they did not hear). "The former denotes the sensational perception, the latter (the accusative case) the thing perceived" (Cremer). In John 5:25, 28 , the genitive case is used, indicating a "sensational perception" that the Lord's voice is sounding; in John 3:8 , of "hearing" the wind, the accusative is used, stressing "the thing perceived."

That God "hears" prayer signifies that He answers prayer, e.g., John 9:31 ; 1 John 5:14, 15 . Sometimes the verb is used with para ("from beside"), e.g., John 1:40 , "one of the two which heard John speak," lit., "heard from beside John," suggesting that he stood beside him; in John 8:26, 40 , indicating the intimate fellowship of the Son with the Father; the same construction is used in Acts 10:22 ; 2 Timothy 2:2 , in the latter case, of the intimacy between Paul and Timothy. See HEARKEN.

A — 2: εἰσακούω
(Strong's #1522 — Verb — eisakouo — ice-ak-oo'-o )

"to listen to" (eis, to, and No. 1), has two meanings, (a) "to hear and obey," 1 Corinthians 14:21 , "they will not hear;" (b) "to hear so as to answer," of God's answer to prayer, Matthew 6:7 ; Luke 1:13 ; Acts 10:31 ; Hebrews 5:7 .

A — 3: διακούω
(Strong's #1251 — Verb — diakouo — dee-ak-oo'-om-ahee )

"to hear through, hear fully" (dia, "through," and No. 1), is used technically, of "hearing" judicially, in Acts 23:35 , of Felix in regard to the charges against Paul. In the Sept., Deuteronomy 1:16 ; Job 9:33 .

A — 4: ἐπακούω
(Strong's #1873 — Verb — epakouo — ep-ak-oo'-o )

"to listen to, hear with favor, at or upon an occasion" (epi, "upon," and No. 1), is used in 2 Corinthians 6:2 (RV, "hearken").

A — 5: ἐπακροάομαι
(Strong's #1874 — Verb — epakroaomai — ep-ak-ro-ah'-om-ahee )

"to listen attentively to" (epi, used intensively, and a verb akin to No. 1), is used in Acts 16:25 , "(the prisoners) were listening to (them)," RV, expressive of rapt attention.

A — 6: προακούω
(Strong's #4257 — Verb — proakouo — pro-ak-oo'-o )

signifies "to hear before" (pro), Colossians 1:5 , where Lightfoot suggests that the preposition contrasts what they heard before, the true Gospel, with the false gospel of their recent teachers.

A — 7: παρακούω
(Strong's #3878 — Verb — parakouo — par-ak-oo'-o )

primarily signifies "to overhear, hear amiss or imperfectly" (para, "beside, amiss," and No. 1); then (in the NT) "to hear without taking heed, to neglect to hear," Matthew 18:17 (twice); in Mark 5:36 the best mss. have this verb, which the RV renders "not heeding" (marg., "overhearing"); some mss. have No. 1, AV, "hearing." It seems obvious that the Lord paid no attention to those from the ruler's house and their message that his daughter was dead. Cp. the noun parakoe, "disobedience."

B — 1: ἀκοή
(Strong's #189 — Noun Feminine — akoe — ak-o-ay' )

akin to A, No. 1, denotes (a) "the sense of hearing," 1 Corinthians 12:17 ; 2 Peter 2:8 ; a combination of verb and noun is used in phrases which have been termed Hebraic as they express somewhat literally an OT phraseology, e.g., "By hearing ye shall hear," Matthew 13:14 ; Acts 28:26 , RV, a mode of expression conveying emphasis; (b) "the organ of hearing," Mark 7:35 , "ears;" Luke 7:1 , RV, "ears," for AV, "audience;" Acts 17:20 ; 2 Timothy 4:3, 4 ; Hebrews 5:11 , "dull of hearing," lit., "dull as to ears;" (c) "a thing heard, a message or teaching," John 12:38 , "report;" Romans 10:16 ; 1 Thessalonians 2:13 , "the word of the message," lit. "the word of hearing" (AV, "which ye heard"); Hebrews 4:2 , "the word of hearing," RV, for AV, "the word preached;" in a somewhat similar sense, "a rumor, report," Matthew 4:24 ; Matthew 14:1 ; Mark 1:28 , AV, "fame," RV, "report;" Matthew 24:6 ; Mark 13:7 , "rumors (of wars);" (d) "the receiving of a message," Romans 10:17 , something more than the mere sense of "hearing" [see (a)]; so with the phrase "the hearing of faith," Galatians 3:2, 5 , which it seems better to understand so than under (c). See EAR , FAME , PREACH , REPORT , RUMOR.

Notes: (1) For diagnosis (investigation, followed by decision), rendered "hearing" in Acts 25:21 , AV, see DECISION. (2) For the phrase to be dull of hearing, lit., "to hear heavily," Matthew 13:15 ; Acts 28:27 , see DULL. (3) For akroaterion, "a place of hearing," Acts 25:23 , see PLACE.

See HEAR , No. 1. Note: In Acts 12:13 , hupakouo, lit., "to hearken," with the idea of stillness, or attention (hupo, "under," akouo, "to hear"), signifies "to answer a knock at a door," RV, "to answer" (AV, "to hearken"). See OBEY.

2: ἐπακούω
(Strong's #1873 — Verb — epakouo — ep-ak-oo'-o )

denotes "to hearken to," 2 Corinthians 6:2 , RV (see HEAR , A, No. 4).

"to give ear to, to hearken" (from en, "in" and ous, "an ear"), is used in Acts 2:14 , in Peter's address to the men of Israel.

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

"to obey one in authority, be obedient" (peithomai, "to be persuaded," arche, "rule"), is translated "to hearken unto" in Acts 27:21 , in Paul's reminder to the shipwrecked mariners that they should have given heed to his counsel. See OBEY.

Heart, Heartily

1: καρδία
(Strong's #2588 — Noun Feminine — kardia — kar-dee'-ah )

"the heart" (Eng., "cardiac," etc.), the chief organ of physical life ("for the life of the flesh is in the blood," Leviticus 17:11 ), occupies the most important place in the human system. By an easy transition the word came to stand for man's entire mental and moral activity, both the rational and the emotional elements. In other words, the heart is used figuratively for the hidden springs of the personal life. "The Bible describes human depravity as in the 'heart', because sin is a principle which has its seat in the center of man's inward life, and then 'defiles' the whole circuit of his action, Matthew 15:19, 20 . On the other hand, Scripture regards the heart as the sphere of Divine influence, Romans 2:15 ; Acts 15:9 . ... The heart, as lying deep within, contains 'the hidden man,' 1 Peter 3:4 , the real man. It represents the true character but conceals it" (J. Laidlaw, in Hastings' Bible Dic.).

As to its usage in the NT it denotes (a) the seat of physical life, Acts 14:17 ; James 5:5 ; (b) the seat of moral nature and spiritual life, the seat of grief, John 14:1 ; Romans 9:2 ; 2 Corinthians 2:4 ; joy, John 16:22 ; Ephesians 5:19 ; the desires, Matthew 5:28 ; 2 Peter 2:14 ; the affections, Luke 24:32 ; Acts 21:13 ; the perceptions, John 12:40 ; Ephesians 4:18 ; the thoughts, Matthew 9:4 ; Hebrews 4:12 ; the understanding, Matthew 13:15 ; Romans 1:21 ; the reasoning powers, Mark 2:6 ; Luke 24:38 ; the imagination, Luke 1:51 ; conscience, Acts 2:37 ; 1 John 3:20 ; the intentions, Hebrews 4:12 , cp. 1 Peter 4:1 ; purpose, Acts 11:23 ; 2 Corinthians 9:7 ; the will, Romans 6:17 ; Colossians 3:15 ; faith, Mark 11:23 ; Romans 10:10 ; Hebrews 3:12 .

The heart, in its moral significance in the OT, includes the emotions, the reason and the will.

2: ψυχή
(Strong's #5590 — Noun Feminine — psuche — psoo-khay' )

the soul, or life, is rendered "heart" in Ephesians 6:6 (marg., "soul"), "doing the will of God from the heart." In Colossians 3:23 , a form of the word psuche preceded by ek, from, lit., "from (the) soul," is rendered "heartily."

Notes: (1) the RV, "heart" is substituted for AV, "bowels," in Colossians 3:12 ; Philemon 1:7, 12, 20 . (2) In 2 Corinthians 3:3 , the RV has "tables" that are hearts of flesh," for AV, "fleshly tables of the heart." (3) In Ephesians 1:18 , the best mss. have kardia, "(the eyes of your) heart;" some have dianoia, "understanding" (AV). (4) In Hebrews 8:10 ; Hebrews 10:16 , the AV has "in their hearts" and "into their hearts;" RV, "on their heart." (5) In Luke 21:26 , where there is no word for "hearts" in the original, the RV has "men fainting (for fear)." (6) In 2 Corinthians 7:2 , the verb choreo, to make room for, "receive" (AV), is translated, or rather, interpreted, "open your hearts," RV, marg., "make room for (us)."

Heat

A — 1: καύσων
(Strong's #2742 — Noun Masculine — kauson — kow'-sone )

denotes "a burning heat" (from kaio, "to burn;" cp. Eng., "caustic," "cauterize"), Matthew 20:12 ; Luke 12:55 (AV, "heat"), RV, in each place, "scorching heat" (marg. "hot wind"); in James 1:11 , "a burning heat," AV, RV, "the scorching wind" like the sirocco. Cp. Amos 4:9 , where the Sept. has purosis, "burning" (pur, "fire"). See BURNING.

A — 2: καῦμα

Heathen

* For HEATHEN see GENTILES

Heaven, Heavenly

1: οὐρανός
(Strong's #3772 — — ouranos — oo-ran-os' )

probably akin to ornumi, "to lift, to heave," is used in the NT (a) of "the aerial heavens," e.g., Matthew 6:26 ; Matthew 8:20 ; Acts 10:12 ; Acts 11:6 (RV, "heaven," in each place, AV, "air"); James 5:18 ; (b) "the sidereal," e.g., Matthew 24:29, 35 ; Mark 13:25, 31 ; Hebrews 11:12 , RV, "heaven," AV, "sky;" Revelation 6:14 ; Revelation 20:11 ; they, (a) and (b), were created by the Son of God, Hebrews 1:10 , as also by God the Father, Revelation 10:6 ; (c) "the eternal dwelling place of God," Matthew 5:16 ; Matthew 12:50 ; Revelation 3:12 ; Revelation 11:13 ; Revelation 16:11 ; Revelation 20:9 . From thence the Son of God descended to become incarnate, John 3:13, 31 ; John 6:38, 42 . In His ascension Christ "passed through the heavens," Hebrews 4:14 , RV; He "ascended far above all the heavens," Ephesians 4:10 , and was "made higher than the heavens," Hebrews 7:26 ; He "sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens," Hebrews 8:1 ; He is "on the right hand of God," having gone into heaven, 1 Peter 3:22 . Since His ascension it is the scene of His present life and activity, e.g., Romans 8:34 ;. Hebrews 9:24 . From the thence the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost, 1 Peter 1:12 . It is the abode of the angels, e.g., Matthew 18:10 ; Matthew 22:30 ; cp. Revelation 3:5 . Thither Paul was "caught up," whether in the body or out of the body, he knew not, 2 Corinthians 12:2 . It is to be the eternal dwelling place of the saints in resurrection glory, 2 Corinthians 5:1 . From thence Christ will descend to the air to receive His saints at the Rapture, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ; Philippians 3:20, 21 , and will subsequently come with His saints and with His holy angels at His second advent, Matthew 24:30 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:7 . In the present life "heavens," is the region of the spirtual citizenship of believers, Philippians 3:20 . The present "heavens" with the earth, are to pass away, 2 Peter 3:10 , "being on fire," 2 Peter 3:12 (see ver. 2 Peter 3:7 ); Revelation 20:11 , and new "heavens" and earth are to be created, 2 Peter 3:13 ; Revelation 21:1 , with Isaiah 65:17 , e.g.

In Luke 15:18, 21 , "heaven" is used, by metonymy, for God. See AIR.

Notes: (1) For the phrase in Luke 11:13 , see Note on B, No. 2.

(2) In Luke 11:2 , the AV, "as in heaven," translates a phrase found in some mss.

"heavenly," what pertains to, or is in, heaven (epi, in the sense of "pertaining to," not here, "above"), has meanings corresponding to some of the meanings of ouranos, A, No. 1. It is used (a) of God the Father, Matthew 18:35 ; (b) of the place where Christ "sitteth at the right hand of God" (i.e., in a position of Divine authority), Ephesians 1:20 ; and of the present position of believers in relationship to Christ, Ephesians 2:6 ; where they possess "every spiritual blessing," Ephesians 1:3 ; (c) of Christ as "the Second Man," and all those who are related to Him spirtually, 1 Corinthians 15:48 ; (d) of those whose sphere of activity or existence is above, or in contrast to that of earth, of "principalities and powers," Ephesians 3:10 ; of "spiritual hosts of wickedness," Ephesians 6:12 , RV, "in heavenly places," for AV, "in high places;" (e) of the Holy Spirit, Hebrews 6:4 ; (f) of "heavenly things," as the subjects of the teaching of Christ, John 3:12 , and as consisting of the spiritual and "heavenly" sanctuary and "true tabernacle" and all that appertains thereto in relation to Christ and His sacrifice as antitypical of the earthly tabernacle and sacrifices under the Law, Hebrews 8:5 ; Hebrews 9:23 ; (g) of the "calling" of believers, Hebrews 3:1 ; (h) of heaven as the abode of the saints, "a better country" than that of earth, Hebrews 11:16 , and of the spiritual Jerusalem, Hebrews 12:22 ; (i) of the kingdom of Christ in its future manifestation, 2 Timothy 4:18 ; (j) of all beings and things, animate and inanimate, that are "above the earth," Philippians 2:10 ; (k) of the resurrection and glorified bodies of believers, 1 Corinthians 15:49 ; (l) of the "heavenly orbs," 1 Corinthians 15:40 ("celestial," twice, and so rendered here only).

Note: In connection with (a), the word "heavenly," used of God the Father in Luke 11:13 , represents the phrase ex ouranou, "from heaven."

B — 1: οὐρανόθεν

(2) Nos. 2 and 3 are used together in Matthew 16:6 ; Nos. 2 and 1, in that order, in Mark 8:15 ; but in Luke 12:15 the RV rightly follows No. 2 by "keep yourselves from" (phulasso, "to guard"). (3) For the RV of Mark 5:36 , "not heeding," see under HEAR , No. 7.

"a summit, top," is translated "height" in Ephesians 3:18 , where it may refer either to "the love of Christ" or to "the fullness of God;" the two are really inseparable, for they who are filled into the fullness of God thereby enter appreciatively into the love of Christ, which "surpasseth knowledge;" in Revelation 21:16 , of the measurement of the heavenly Jerusalem. See ESTATE , HIGH.

2: ὕψωμα

A — 1: κληρονόμος
(Strong's #2818 — Noun Masculine — kleronomos — klay-ron-om'-os )

lit. denotes "one who obtains a lot or portion" (kleros, "a lot," nemomai, "to possess"), especially of an inheritance. The NT usage may be analyzed as under: "(a) the person to whom property is to pass on the death of the owner, Matthew 21:38 ; Mark 12:7 ; Luke 20:14 ; Galatians 4:1 ; (b) one to whom something has been assigned by God, on possession of which, however, he has not yet entered, as Abraham, Romans 4:13, 14 ; Hebrews 6:17 ; Christ, Hebrews 1:2 ; the poor saints, James 2:5 ; (c) believers, inasmuch as they share in the new order of things to be ushered in at the return of Christ, Romans 8:17 ; Galatians 3:29 ; Galatians 4:7 ; Titus 3:7 ; (d) one who receives something other than by merit, as Noah, Hebrews 11:7 ." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 177,178.]

In the Sept., Judges 18:7 ; 2 Samuel 14:7 ; Jeremiah 8:10 ; Micah 1:15 .

A — 2: συγκληρονόμος
(Strong's #4789 — Noun Masculine — sunkleronomos — soong-klay-ron-om'-os )

"a joint-heir, co-inheritor" (sun, "with," and No. 1), "is used of Issac and Jacob as participants with Abraham in the promises of God, Hebrews 11:9 ; of husband and wife who are also united in Christ, 1 Peter 3:7 ; of Gentiles who believe, as participants in the Gospel with Jews who believe, Ephesians 3:6 ; and of all believers as prospective participants with Christ in His glory, as recompense for their participation in His sufferings, Romans 8:17 ." * [* ibid, p. 178.]

B — 1: κληρονομέω
(Strong's #2816 — Verb — kleronomeo — klay-ron-om-eh'-o )

"to be an heir to, to inherit" (see A, No. 1), is rendered "shall (not) inherit with" in Galatians 4:30 , RV, AV, "shall (not) be heir with;" in Hebrews 1:14 , RV, "shall inherit," AV, "shall be heirs of." See INHERIT. Cp. kleroomai, "to be taken as an inheritance," kleronomia, "an inheritance," kleros, "a lot, an inheritance."

Hell

1: γέεννα
(Strong's #1067 — Noun Feminine — geenna — gheh'-en-nah )

represents the Hebrew Ge-Hinnom (the valley of Tophet) and a corresponding Aramaic word; it is found twelve times in the NT, eleven of which are in the Synoptists, in every instance as uttered by the Lord Himself. He who says to his brother, Thou fool (see under FOOL), will be in danger of "the hell of fire," Matthew 5:22 ; it is better to pluck out (a metaphorical description of irrevocable law) an eye that causes its possessor to stumble, than that his "whole body be cast into hell," Matthew 5:29 ; similarly with the hand, Matthew 5:30 ; in Matthew 18:8, 9 , the admonitions are repeated, with an additional mention of the foot; here, too, the warning concerns the person himself (for which obviously the "body" stands in chapt. 5); in ver. 8, "the eternal fire" is mentioned as the doom, the character of the region standing for the region itself, the two being combined in the phrase "the hell of fire," ver. 9. To the passage in Matthew 18 , that in Mark 9:43-47 , is parallel; here to the word "hell" are applied the extended descriptions "the unquenchable fire" and "where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched."

That God, "after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell," is assigned as a reason why He should be feared with the fear that keeps from evil doing, Luke 12:5 ; the parallel passage to this in Matthew 10:28 declares, not the casting in, but the doom which follows, namely, the destruction (not the loss of being, but of well-being) of "both soul and body."

In Matthew 23 the Lord denounces the scribes and Pharisees, who in proselytizing a person "make him two-fold more a son of hell" than themselves (Matthew 23:15 ), the phrase here being expressive of moral characteristics, and declares the impossibility of their escaping "the judgment of hell," Matthew 23:33 . In James 3:6 "hell" is described as the source of the evil done by misuse of the tongue; here the word stands for the powers of darkness, whose characteristics and destiny are those of "hell."

For terms descriptive of "hell," see e.g., Matthew 13:42 ; Matthew 25:46 ; Philippians 3:19 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:9 ; Hebrews 10:39 ; 2 Peter 2:17 ; Jude 1:13 ; Revelation 2:11 ; Revelation 19:20 ; Revelation 20:6, 10, 14 ; Revelation 21:8 .

Notes: (1) For the rendering "hell" as a translation of hades, corresponding to Sheol, wrongly rendered "the grave" and "hell," see HADES. (2) The verb tartaroo, translated "cast down to hell" in 2 Peter 2:4 , signifies to consign to Tartarus, which is neither Sheol nor hades nor hell, but the place where those angels whose special sin is referred to in that passage are confined "to be reserved unto judgment;" the region is described as "pits of darkness," RV.

Helm

Helmet

1: περικεφαλαία
(Strong's #4030 — Noun Feminine — perikephalaia — per-ee-kef-al-ah'-yah )

from peri, "around," and kephale, "a head," is used figuratively in Ephesians 6:17 , with reference to salvation, and 1 Thessalonians 5:8 , where it is described as "the hope of salvation." The head is not to be regarded here as standing for the seat of the intellect; the word is not so used elsewhere in Scripture. In Ephesians 6:17 salvation is a present experience of the Lord's deliverance of believers as those who are engaged in spiritual conflict; in 1 Thessalonians 5:8 , the hope is that of the Lord's return, which encourages the believer to resist the spirit of the age in which he lives.

Help, Holpen

A — 1: ἀντίλημψις
(Strong's #484 — Noun Feminine — antilepsis | antilempsis — an-til'-ape-sis )

properly signifies "a laying hold of, an exchange" (anti, "in exchange," or, in its local sense, "in front," and lambano, "to take, lay hold of," so as to support); then, "a help" (akin to B, No. 1); it is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:28 , as one of the ministrations in the local church, by way of rendering assistance, perhaps especially of "help" ministered to the weak and needy. So Theophylact defines the injunction in 1 Thessalonians 5:14 , "support the weak;" cp. Acts 20:35 ; not official functionaries are in view in the term "helps," but rather the functioning of those who, like the household of Stephanas, devote themselves to minister to the saints. Hort defines the ministration as "anything that would be done for poor or weak or outcast brethren."

A — 2: βοήθεια
(Strong's #996 — Noun Feminine — boetheia — bo-ay'-thi-ah )

from boe, "a shout," and theo, "to run," denotes "help, succour," Hebrews 4:16 , lit., "(grace) unto (timely) help;" in Acts 27:17 , where the plural is used, the term is nautical, "frapping."

A — 3: ἐπικουρία
(Strong's #1947 — Noun Feminine — epikouria — ep-ee-koo-ree'-ah )

B — 1: ἀντιλαμβάνω
(Strong's #482 — Verb — antilambano — an-tee-lam-ban'-om-ahee )

lit., "to take instead of, or in turn" (akin to A, No. 1), is used in the Middle Voice, and rendered "He hath holpen" in Luke 1:54 ; "to help," RV, "to support," AV, in Acts 20:35 ; its other meaning, to partake of, is used of partaking of things, 1 Timothy 6:2 , "that partake of," for AV, "partakers of." See PARTAKE , SUPPORT.

B — 3: συναντιλαμβάνομαι
(Strong's #4878 — Verb — sunantilambano — soon-an-tee-lam-ban'-om-ahee )

signifies "to take hold with at the side for assistance" (sun, "with," and No. 1); hence, "to take a share in, help in bearing, to help in general." It is used, in the Middle Voice, in Martha's request to the Lord to bid her sister help her, Luke 10:40 ; and of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in helping our infirmities, Romans 8:26 . In the Sept., Exodus 18:22 ; Numbers 11:17 ; Psalms 89:21 .

B — 4: βοηθέω
(Strong's #997 — Verb — boetheo — bo-ay-theh'-o )

B — 5: συμβάλλω
(Strong's #4820 — Verb — sumballo — soom-bal'-lo )

lit., "to throw together" (sun, "with," ballo, "to throw"), is used in the Middle Voice in Acts 18:27 , of helping or benefiting believers by discussion or ministry of the Word of God. See CONFER , ENCOUNTER , MAKE (war), MEET , PONDER.

B — 6: συνυπουργέω
(Strong's #4943 — Verb — sunupourgeo — soon-oop-oorg-eh'-o )

denotes "to help together, join in helping, to serve with anyone as an underworker" (sun, "with," hupourgeo, "to serve;" hupo, "under," ergon, "work"); it is used in 2 Corinthians 1:11 .

B — 7: συνεργέω
(Strong's #4903 — Verb — sunergeo — soon-erg-eh'-o )

"to help in work, to co-operate, be a co-worker," is rendered "that helpeth with" in 1 Corinthians 16:16 . See WORK.

Note: Paristemi, "to place beside" (para, "by," histemi, "to cause to stand"), "to stand by, be at hand," is used of "standing" up for help," in Romans 16:2 , "that ye assist," and 2 Timothy 4:17 , "stood with." See BRING , COME , COMMEND , GIVE , PRESENT , PROVE , PROVIDE , SHEW , STAND , YIELD.

1: βοηθός
(Strong's #998 — Adjective — boethos — bo-ay-thos' )

an adjective, akin to B, No. 7, under HELP, "a fellow worker," is translated "helper" in the AV of Romans 16:3, 9 , RV, "fellow worker;" in 2 Corinthians 1:24 , AV and RV, "helper;" in 2 Corinthians 8:23 , AV, "fellow helper," RV, "fellow worker;" so the plural in 3 John 1:8 : See CAMPANION, LABORER , etc.

"hence ... thence;" (b) causal; James 4:1 , "(come they not) hence," i.e., "owing to."

Notes: (1) For makran, "far hence," in Acts 22:21 , see FAR. (2) In Acts 1:5 , the phrase "not many days hence" is, lit., "not after (meta) many days."

Heresy

1: αἵρεσις
(Strong's #139 — Noun Feminine — hairesis — hah'ee-res-is )

primarily, "to cast lots" or "to choose by lot," then, "to assign a portion," is used in the Passive Voice in Ephesians 1:11 , "we were made a heritage," RV (AV, "we have obtained an inheritance"). The RV is in agreement with such OT passages as Deuteronomy 4:20 , "a people of inheritance;" Deuteronomy 9:29 ; Deuteronomy 32:9 ; Psalms 16:6 . The meaning "were chosen by lot," as in the Vulgate, and in 1 Samuel 14:41 , indicating the freedom of election without human will (so Chrysostom and Augustine), is not suited to this passage.

A — 5: καλύπτω
(Strong's #2572 — Verb — kalupto — kal-oop'-to )

signifies "to cover, conceal," so that no trace of it can be seen (hence somewhat distinct from No. 1): it is not translated "to hide" in the RV; in 2 Corinthians 4:3 it is rendered "veiled," suitably continuing the subject of 3:13-18; in James 5:20 , "shall hide," AV (RV, "shall cover").

A — 3: μέγας
(Strong's #3173 — Adjective — megas — meg'-as )

"great," is translated "high" in John 19:31 , of the Sabbath day at the Passover season; here the meaning is virtually equivalent to "holy," See GREAT.

Note: In Hebrews 10:21 , the RV rightly has "a great (priest)," AV, "high." For "high places," Ephesians 6:12 , AV, see HEAVENLY , B. No. 2.
