ἀκριβόω in observing even the more minute precepts of the law and of tradition, Acts xxvi. 5. [From Hdt. down.]*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷: 1 aor. 🇬🇷; (🇬🇷); 1. in prof. writ. to know accurately, to do exactly. 2. to investigate diligently: Mt. ii. 7, 16, (🇬🇷, vs. 8); Aristot. gen. anim. 5, 1; Philo, m. opif. § 25 🇬🇷. [Al. to learn exactly, ascertain; cf. Fritz. or Mey. on Mt. u. s.]*

🇬🇷, adv., exactly, accurately, diligently: Mt. ii. 8; Lk. i. 3; Acts xviii. 25; 1 Th. v. 2; 🇬🇷 to live carefully, circumspectly, deviating in no respect from the law of duty, Eph. v. 15. [Fr. Aeschyl. down.]*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, [fr. Hom. down], a locust, particularly that species which especially infests oriental countries, stripping fields and trees. Numberless swarms of them almost every spring are carried by the wind from Arabia into Palestine, and having devastated that country migrate to regions farther north, until they perish by falling into the sea. The Orientals are accustomed to feed upon locusts, either raw or roasted and seasoned with salt [or prepared in other ways], and the Israelites also (acc. to Lev. xi. 22) were permitted to eat them; (cf. Win. RWB. s. v. Heuschrecken; Furrer in Schenkel iii. p. 78 sq.; [BB.DD. s. v.; Tristram, Nat. Hist. of the Bible, p. 313 sqq.]): Mt. iii. 4; Mk. i. 6. A marvellous and infernal kind of locusts is described in Rev. ix. 3, 7, cf. 2, 5 sq. 8-12; see Düsterdieck ad loc.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷 to be a hearer), place of assemblage for hearing, auditorium; like this Lat. word in Roman Law, 🇬🇷. in Acts xxv. 23 denotes a place set apart for hearing and deciding cases, [yet cf. Mey. ad loc.]. (Several times in Plut. and other later writers.)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷. [see the preceding word]), a hearer: 🇬🇷, Ro. ii. 13; 🇬🇷, Jas. i. 22 sq. 25. (Thuc., Isocr., Plat., Dem., Plut.)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷. (a word unknown to the Greeks, who used 🇬🇷 and 🇬🇷, fr. 🇬🇷 i. e. membrum virile. Accordingly it is likely that 🇬🇷 of the Greeks was pronounced 🇬🇷 by the Alexandrians, and 🇬🇷 said instead of 🇬🇷—i. e. 🇬🇷; cf. the acute remarks of Fritzsche, Com. on Rom. vol. i. 136, together with the opinion which Winer prefers 99 (94), [and Cremer, 3te Aufl. s. v.]), in the Sept. the equiv. of the prepuce, the skin covering the glans penis; &ensp; a. prop.: Acts xi. 3; Ro. ii. 25, 26$b$; 1 Co. vii. 19; Gal. v. 6; vi. 15; Col. iii. 11; (Judith xiv. 10; 1 Macc. i. 15); 🇬🇷 having the foreskin (Tertull. praeputiatus), uncircumcised i. e. Gentile, Ro. iv. 10; 🇬🇷 sc. 🇬🇷, 1 Co. vii. 18; equiv. to the same is 🇬🇷, Ro. iv. 11; 🇬🇷 the faith which one has while he is uncircumcised, Ro. iv. 11 sq. &ensp; b. by meton. of the abstr. for the concr., having the foreskin is equiv. to a Gentile: Ro. ii. 26$a$; iii. 30; iv. 9; Eph. ii. 11; 🇬🇷 one uncircumcised by birth or a Gentile, opp. to a Jew who shows himself a Gentile in character, Ro. ii. 27; 🇬🇷 gospel to be preached to the Gentiles, Gal. ii. 7. &ensp; c. in a transferred sense: 🇬🇷 (opp. to the 🇬🇷 or regeneration, Col. ii. 11), the condition in which the corrupt desires rooted in the 🇬🇷 were not yet extinct, Col. ii. 13 (the expression is derived from the circumstance that the foreskin was the sign of impurity and alienation from God, [cf. B. D. s. v. Circumcision]).*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, a word wholly bibl. and eccl., [W. 99 (94); 236 (221)], (🇬🇷 extreme, and 🇬🇷 corner, angle), placed at the extreme corner; 🇬🇷 corner-stone; used of Christ, 1 Pet. ii. 6; Eph. ii. 20; Sept. Is. xxviii. 16 for. For as the corner-stone holds together two walls, so Christ joins together as Christians, into one body dedicated to God, those who were formerly Jews and Gentiles, Eph. ii. 20 [yet cf. Mey. ad loc.] compared with vss. 14, 16-19, 21 sq. And as a corner-stone contributes to sustain the edifice, but nevertheless some fall in going around the corner carelessly; so some are built up by the aid of Christ, while others stumbling at Christ perish, 1 Pet. ii. 6-8; see 🇬🇷, a.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (fr. 🇬🇷 extreme, and 🇬🇷, gen. 🇬🇷, a heap; extremity, topmost part of a heap), generally in plur. 🇬🇷 the first-fruits, whether of crops or of spoils (among the Greeks customarily selected from the topmost part of the heaps and offered to the gods, Xen. Cyr. 7, 5, 35); in the Bible only once: Heb. vii. 4, of booty. (Pind., Aeschyl., Hdt., Thuc., Plut., al.)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷 point [see 🇬🇷), [fr. Hom. down], highest, extreme; 🇬🇷 the topmost point, the extremity [cf. B. 94 (82)]: Lk. xvi. 24; Heb. xi. 21 [see 🇬🇷, a. fin]; 🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, the farthest bounds, uttermost parts, end, of the earth, of heaven: Mt. xxiv. 31; Mk. xiii. 27; cf. Deut. iv. 32; xxviii. 64; Is. xiii. 5; Jer. xii. 12.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, [but no gen. seems to be extant, see B. 20 (18)], 🇬🇷, Aquila, a Jew of Pontus, a tent-maker, convert to Christ, companion and ally of Paul in propagating the Christian religion: Acts xviii. 2, 18, 26; Ro. xvi. 3; 1 Co. xvi. 19; 2 Tim. iv. 19; [see B. D.].*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷; 1 aor. 🇬🇷: (🇬🇷 without authority, not binding, void; fr. 🇬🇷 force, authority), to render void, deprive of force and authority, (opp. to 🇬🇷 to confirm, make valid): 🇬🇷, Mt. xv. 6 [R G; 🇬🇷, ibid. T WH mrg.]; 🇬🇷 [ibid. L Tr WH txt.]; Mk. vii. 13, (cf. 🇬🇷): 🇬🇷, Gal. iii. 17. ([1 Esdr. vi. 31]; Diod., Dion. Hal, Plut.)*

🇬🇷, adv., (🇬🇷), without hindrance: Acts xxviii. 31. [Plato, Epict., Hdian.]*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (contr. fr. 🇬🇷 a priv. and 🇬🇷 willing), not of one’s own will, unwilling: 1 Co. ix. 17. (Very freq. among the Greeks.)*

[🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, read by Tdf. in Mt. v. 13; Mk. ix. 50; Lk. xiv. 34; see 🇬🇷.]

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (in the plur. in Theocr. 15, 114; Anth. Pal. 9, 153; in other prof. writ. 🇬🇷 and 🇬🇷; [the older and more correct spelling drops the 🇬🇷, cf. Steph. Thesaur. s. v. 1385 d.; L. and S. s. v. 🇬🇷-
