ἄδω ford ad loc.]), Ro. viii. 3; foll. by acc. with inf., Heb. vi. 4, 18; x. 4; by inf., Heb. xi. 6.*

🇬🇷 (🇬🇷); common in Grk. of every period; in Sept. for ; to sing, chant; &emsp; 1. intrans.: 🇬🇷, to the praise of any one (Judith xvi. 1 (2)), Eph. v. 19; Col. iii. 16, (in both passages of the lyrical emotion of a devout and grateful soul). &emsp; 2. trans.: 🇬🇷, Rev. v. 9; xiv. 3; xv. 3.*

🇬🇷, [see 🇬🇷], adv., [fr. Hom. down], always; &emsp; 1. perpetually, incessantly: Acts vii. 51; 2 Co. iv. 11; vi. 10; Tit. i. 12; Heb. iii. 10. &emsp; 2. invariably, at any and every time when according to the circumstances something is or ought to be done again: Mk. xv. 8 [T WH om.] (at every feast); 1 Pet. iii. 15; 2 Pet. i. 12.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (like Lat. avis, fr. ἄημι on account of its wind-like flight [cf. Curtius § 596]), [fr. Hom. down], in Sept. for, an eagle: Rev. iv. 7; viii. 13 (Rec. 🇬🇷): xii. 14. In Mt. xxiv. 28; Lk. xvii. 37 (as in Job xxxix. 30; Prov. xxx. 17) it is better, since eagles are said seldom or never to go in quest of carrion, to understand with many interpreters either the vultur percnopterus, which resembles an eagle (Plin. h. n. 10, 3 “quarti generis—viz. aquilarum—est percnopterus”), or the vultur barbatus. Cf. Win. RWB. s. v. Adler; [Tristram, Nat. Hist. of the Bible, p. 172 sqq.]. The meaning of the proverb [cf. exx. in Wetst. on Mt. l. c.] quoted in both passages is, ‘where there are sinners (cf. 🇬🇷), there judgments from heaven will not be wanting’.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), Hebr. , unfermented, free from leaven; properly: 🇬🇷, Ex. xxix. 2; Joseph. antt. 3, 6, 6; hence the neut. plur. 🇬🇷,, unleavened loaves; 🇬🇷, , the (paschal) festival at which for seven days the Israelites were accustomed to eat unleavened bread in commemoration of their exit from Egypt (Ex. xxiii. 15; Lev. xxiii. 6), Lk. xxii. 1; 🇬🇷 (sc. 🇬🇷) 🇬🇷 Mk. xxvi. 17; Mk. xiv. 12; Lk. xxii. 7; 🇬🇷. Acts xii. 3; xx. 6; the paschal festival itself is called 🇬🇷, Mk. xiv. 1, [cf. 1 Esdr. i. 10, 19; W. 176 (166); B. 23 (21)]. Figuratively: Christians, if such as they ought to be, are called 🇬🇷 i. e. devoid of the leaven of iniquity, free from faults, 1 Co. v. 7; and are admonished 🇬🇷, to keep festival with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, vs. 8. (The word occurs twice in prof. auth., viz. Athen. 3, 74 (🇬🇷) 🇬🇷, Plat. Tim. p. 74 d. 🇬🇷 flesh not yet quite formed, [add Galen de alim. fac. 1, 2].)*

🇬🇷, Azor, the indecl. prop. name of one of the ancestors of Christ: Mt. i. 13 sq.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷,, Azotus, Ashdod, one of the five chief cities of the Philistines, lying between Ashkelon and Jamnia [i. e. Jabneel] and near the Mediterranean: Acts viii. 40; at present a petty village, Esdûd. A succinct history of the city is given by Gesenius, Thesaur. iii. p. 1366; Raumer, Palästina, p. 174; [Alex.’s Kitto or Mc. and S. s. v. Ashdod].*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (fr. 🇬🇷, and this fr. 🇬🇷 priv. and 🇬🇷 pleasure, delight), [fr. Lysip. down]; &emsp; 1. unpleasantness, annoyance. &emsp; 2. dislike, hatred: 🇬🇷, cod. Cantabr. in Lk. xxiii. 12 for Rec. 🇬🇷.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷, [cf. 🇬🇷, init.]), the air (particularly the lower and denser, as distinguished from the higher and rarer 🇬🇷, cf. Hom. Il. 14, 288), the atmospheric region: Acts xxii. 23; 1 Th. iv. 17; Rev. ix. 2; xvi. 17; 🇬🇷 in Eph. ii. 2 signifies ‘the ruler of the powers (spirits, see 🇬🇷 4 c. ββ.) in the air’, i. e. the devil, the prince of the demons that according to Jewish opinion fill the realm of air (cf. Mey ad loc.; [Β. D. Am. ed. s. v. Air; Stuart in Bib. Sacr. for 1843, p. 139 sq.]). Sometimes indeed, 🇬🇷 denotes a hazy, obscure atmosphere (Hom. Il. 17, 644; 3, 381; 5, 356, etc.; Polyb. 18, 3, 7), but is nowhere quite equiv. to 🇬🇷,—the sense which many injudiciously assign it in Eph. l. c. 🇬🇷 (cf. verberat ictibus auras, Verg. Aen. 5, 377, of pugilists who miss their aim) i. e. to contend in vain, 1 Co. ix. 26; 🇬🇷 (verba ventis profundere, Lucr. 4, 929 (932)) ‘to speak into the air’ i. e. without effect, used of those who speak what is not understood by the hearers, 1 Co. xiv. 9.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), immortality: 1 Co. xv. 53 sq.; 1 Tim. vi. 16 where God is described as 🇬🇷, because he possesses it essentially—‘🇬🇷’ Justin, quaest. et resp. ad orthod. 61 p. 84 ed. Otto. (In Grk. writ. fr. Plato down.)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, a later form for the ancient and preferable 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷 law, right), contrary to law and justice, prohibited by law, illicit, criminal: 1 Pet. iv. 3 [here A. V. abominable]; 🇬🇷 with inf., Acts x. 28.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), [fr. Pind. down], without God, knowing and worshipping no God, in which sense Ael. v. h. 2, 31 declares 🇬🇷; in classic auth. generally slighting the gods, impious, repudiating the gods recognized by the state, in which sense certain Greek philosophers, the Jews (Joseph. c. Ap. 2, 14, 4), and subsequently Christians were called 🇬🇷 by the heathen (Justin, apol. 1, 13, etc.). In Eph. ii. 12 of one who neither knows nor worships the true God; so of the heathen (cf. 1 Th. iv. 5; Gal. iv. 8); Clem. Alex. protr. ii. 23 p. 19 Pott. 🇬🇷, Philo. leg. ad Gai. § 25 🇬🇷, Hos. iv. 15 Symm. 🇬🇷 a house in which idols are worshipped, Ignat. ad Trall. 10 🇬🇷 (of the Docetae); [al. understand Eph. l. c. passively deserted of God, Vulg. sine Deo; on the various meanings of the word see Mey. (or Ellic.)].*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), lawless, [A. V. wicked]; of one who breaks through the restraints of law and gratifies his lusts: 2 Pet. ii. 7; iii. 17. [Sept., Diod., Philo, Joseph., Plut.]*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷; fut. 🇬🇷 1 aor. 🇬🇷: a word met with first (yet very often) in Sept. and Polyb.; &emsp; a. properly, to render 🇬🇷; do away with 🇬🇷 i. e. something laid down, prescribed, established: 🇬🇷, Gal.
