ἄγγος of his Messianic office, and the signal proofs to appear in his history of a divine superintendence. Certain of the angels have proved faithless to the trust committed to them by God, and have given themselves up to sin, Jude 6; 2 Pet. ii. 4 (Enoch c. vi. etc., cf. Gen. vi. 2), and now obey the devil, Mt. xxv. 41; Rev. xii. 7, cf. 1 Co. vi. 3 [yet on this last passage cf. Meyer; he and others maintain that 🇬🇷 without an epithet or limitation never in the N. T. signifies other than good angels]. Hence 🇬🇷 is trop. used in 2 Co. xii. 7 to denote a grievous bodily malady sent by Satan. See 🇬🇷; [Soph. Lex. s. v. 🇬🇷; and for the literature on the whole subject B. D. Am. ed. s. v. Angels,—and to the reff. there given add G. L. Hahn, Theol. des N. T., i. pp. 260-384; Delitzsch in Riehm s. v. Engel; Kübel in Herzog ed. 2, ibid.].

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (plur. 🇬🇷), i. q. 🇬🇷 q. v.: Mt. xiii. 48 T Tr WH. (From Hom. down; [cf. Rutherford, New Phryn. p. 23].)*

🇬🇷, (properly impv. of 🇬🇷), come! come now! used, as it often is in the classics (W. 516 (481)), even when more than one is addressed: Jas. iv. 13; ν. 1.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷. (🇬🇷 to drive), a herd: Mt. viii. 30 sqq.; Mk. v. 11, 13; Lk. viii. 32 sq. (From Hom. down.) *

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), of whose descent there is no account (in the O. T.), [R. V. without genealogy]: Heb. vii. 3 (vs. 6 🇬🇷). Nowhere found in prof. auth.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), opp. to 🇬🇷, of no family, a man of base birth, a man of no name or reputation; often used by prof. writ., also in the secondary sense ignoble, cowardly, mean, base. In the N. T. only in 1 Co. i. 28, 🇬🇷 i. e. those who among men are held of no account; on the use of a neut. adj. in ref. to persons, see W. 178 (167); [B. 122 (107)].*

🇬🇷; 1 aor. 🇬🇷; Pass., [pres. 🇬🇷]: pf. 🇬🇷; 1 aor. 🇬🇷; a word for which the Greeks use 🇬🇷, but very freq. in bibl. (as equiv. to, ) and eccl. writ.; to make 🇬🇷, render or declare sacred or holy, consecrate. Hence it denotes 1. to render or acknowledge to be venerable, to hallow: 🇬🇷, Mt. vi. 9 (so of God, Is. xxix. 23; Ezek. xx. 41; xxxviii. 23; Sir. xxxiii. (xxxvi.) 4); [Lk. xi. 2]; 🇬🇷, 1 Pet. iii. 15 (R G 🇬🇷). Since the stamp of sacredness passes over from the holiness of God to whatever has any connection with God, 🇬🇷 denotes 2. to separate from things profane and dedicate to God, to consecrate and so render inviolable; a. things (🇬🇷, Deut. xv. 19; 🇬🇷, Ex. xx. 8; 🇬🇷, 2 Chr. vii. 16, etc.): 🇬🇷, Mt. xxiii. 17; 🇬🇷, vs. 19; 🇬🇷, 2 Tim. ii. 21. b. persons. So Christ is said by undergoing death to consecrate himself to God, whose will he in that way fulfils, Jn. xvii. 19; God is said 🇬🇷 Christ, i. e. to have selected him for his service (cf. 🇬🇷, Gal. i. 15) by having committed to him the office of Messiah, Jn. x. 36, cf. Jer. i. 5; Sir. xxxvi. 12 [🇬🇷, of his selection of men for the priesthood]; xlv. 4; xlix: 7. Since only what is pure and without blemish can be devoted and offered to God (Lev. xxii. 20; Deut. xv. 21; xvii. 1), 🇬🇷 signifies 3. to purify, (🇬🇷 is added in Lev. xvi. 19; 2 S. xi. 4); and a. to cleanse externally (🇬🇷), to purify levitically: Heb. ix. 13; 1 Tim. iv. 5. b. to purify by expiation, free from the guilt of sin: 1 Co. vi. 11; Eph. v. 26; Heb. x. 10, 14, 29; xiii. 12; ii. 11 (equiv. to, Ex. xxix. 33, 36); cf. Pfleiderer, Paulinismus, p. 340 sqq., [Eng. trans. ii. 68 sq.]. c. to purify internally by reformation of soul: Jn. xvii. 17, 19 (through knowledge of the truth, cf. Jn. viii. 32); 1 Th. v. 23; 1 Co. i. 2 (🇬🇷 in the fellowship of Christ, the Holy One); Ro. xv. 16 (🇬🇷 imbued with the Holy Spirit, the divine source of holiness); Jude 1 (L T Tr WH 🇬🇷 [q. v.]); Rev. xxii. 11. In general, Christians are called 🇬🇷 [cf. Deut. xxxiii. 3], as those who, freed from the impurity of wickedness, have been brought near to God by their faith and sanctity, Acts xx. 32; xxvi. 18. In 1 Co. vii. 14 🇬🇷 is used in a peculiar sense of those who, although not Christians themselves, are yet, by marriage with a Christian, withdrawn from the contamination of heathen impiety and brought under the saving influence of the Holy Spirit displaying itself among Christians; cf. Neander ad loc.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, a word used only by bibl. and eccl. writ. (for in Diod. 4, 39; Dion. Hal. 1, 21, 🇬🇷 is the more correct reading), signifying 1. consecration, purification, 🇬🇷. 2. the effect of consecration: sanctification of heart and life, 1 Co. i. 30 (Christ is he to whom we are indebted for sanctification); 1 Th. iv. 7; Ro. vi. 19, 22, 1 Tim. ii. 15; Heb. xii. 14; 🇬🇷 sanctification wrought by the Holy Spirit, 2 Th. ii. 13; 1 Pet. i. 2. It is opposed to lust in 1 Th. iv. 3 sq. (It is used in a ritual sense, Judg. xvii. 3 [Alex.]; Ezek. xlv. 4; [Am. ii. 11]; Sir. vii. 31, etc.) [On its use in the N. T. cf. Ellic. on 1 Th. iv. 3; iii. 13.]*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (fr. 🇬🇷 religious awe, reverence; 🇬🇷, to venerate, revere, esp. the gods, parents, [Curtius § 118]), rare in prof. auth.; very frequent in the sacred writ.; in the Sept. for ; 1. properly reverend, worthy of veneration: 🇬🇷, Lk. i. 49; God, on account of his incomparable majesty, Rev. iv. 8 (Is. vi. 3, etc.), i. q. 🇬🇷. Hence used a. of things which on account of some connection with God possess a certain distinction and claim to reverence, as places sacred to God which are not to be profaned, Acts vii. 33; 🇬🇷 the temple, Mt. xxiv. 15 (on which pass. see 🇬🇷, c.); Acts vi. 13; xxi. 28; the holy land or Palestine, 2 Macc. i. 29; ii. 18; 🇬🇷 and 🇬🇷 [W. 177 (167)] the temple, Heb. ix. 1, 24 (cf. Bleek on Heb. vol. ii. 2, p. 477 sq.); spec. that part of the temple or tabernacle which is called ‘the holy place’ (, Ezek. xxxvii. 28; xlv. 18), Heb. ix. 2 [here Rec$st$. reads 🇬🇷]; 🇬🇷 [W. 246 (231), cf. Ex. xxix. 37; xxx. 10, etc.] the most hallowed portion of the temple, ‘the holy of holies,’ (Ex. xxvi. 33 [cf. Joseph.
