🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), free from anxiety, free from care: Mt. xxviii. 14; 1 Co. vii. 32 (free from earthly cares). (Sap. vi. 16; vii. 23; Hdian. 2, 4, 3; 3, 7, 11; Anth. 9, 359, 5; [in pass. sense, Soph. Ajax 1206].)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), not transposed, not to be transferred; fixed, unalterable: Heb. vi. 18; 🇬🇷 as subst., immutability, Ηeb. vi. 17. (3 Macc. v. 1; Polyb., Diod., Plut.)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷), not to be moved from its place, unmoved; metaph. firmly persistent, [A. V. unmovable]: 1 Co. xv. 58. (Plat. ep. 7, p. 343 a.; Dion. Hal. 8, 74; [Joseph. c. Ap. 2, 16, 9; 2, 32, 3; 2, 35, 4].)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (🇬🇷, 🇬🇷), not repented of, unregretted: Ro. xi. 29; 🇬🇷, by litotes, salvation affording supreme joy, 2 Co. vii. 10 [al. connect it with 🇬🇷]. (Plat. Polyb., Plut.)*

🇬🇷, Hebr. ; &emsp; 1. verbal adj. (fr. to prop; Niph. to be firm), firm, metaph. faithful: 🇬🇷, Rev. iii. 14 (where is added 🇬🇷). &emsp; 2. it came to be used as an adverb by which something is asserted or confirmed: &ensp; a. at the beginning of a discourse, surely, of a truth, truly; so freq. in the discourses of Christ in Mt. Mk. and Lk.: 🇬🇷 ‘I solemnly declare unto you,’ e. g. Mt. v. 18; Mk. iii. 28; Lk. iv. 24.

It was a custom, which passed over from the synagogues into the Christian assemblies, that when he who had read or discoursed had offered up a solemn prayer to God, the others in attendance responded Amen, and thus made the substance of what was uttered their own: 1 Co. xiv. 16 (🇬🇷, the well-known response Amen), cf. Num. v. 22; Deut. xxvii. 15 sqq.; Neh. v. 13; viii. 6. 2 Co. i. 20 🇬🇷, i. e. had shown themselves most sure. [Cf. B. D. s. ν. Amen.]

Phoen. 666 sq., al.; God himself, inasmuch as he is without origin, Lact. instt. 4, 13, 2. &emsp; 2. bereft of a mother, Hdt. 4, 154, al. &emsp; 3. born of a base or unknown mother, Eur. Ion 109 cf. 837. &emsp; 4. unmotherly, unworthy of the name of mother: 🇬🇷, Soph. El. 1154. Cf. Bleek on Heb. vol. ii. 2, p. 305 sqq. &emsp; 5. in a signif. unused by the Greeks, ‘whose mother is not recorded in the genealogy’: of Melchizedek, Heb. vii. 3; (of Sarah by Philo in de temul. § 14, and rer. div. haer. § 12; [cf.

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (servant of the prince, [al. my people are noble; but cf. B. D. s. v.]), [Α. V. Aminadab], the prop. name of one of the ancestors of Christ (1 Chr. ii. 10 [A. V. Amminadab]): Mt. i. 4; Lk. iii. 33 [not WH. See Β. D. s. v.].*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, sand; acc. to a Hebr. comparison 🇬🇷 and 🇬🇷 are used for an innumerable multitude, Ro. ix. 27; Heb. xi. 12; Rev. xx. 8, equiv. to xii. 18 (xiii. 1). Acc. to the context sandy ground, Mt. vii. 26. (Xen. Plat., Theophr. often, Plut., Sept. often.)*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, [fr. Soph. and Arstph. down], a lamb: Acts viii. 32; 1 Pet. i. 19; 🇬🇷, consecrated to God, Jn. i. 29, 36. In these passages Christ is likened to a sacrificial lamb on account of his death, innocently and patiently endured, to expiate sin. See 🇬🇷.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, (fr. 🇬🇷, as 🇬🇷 fr. 🇬🇷, 🇬🇷 fr. 🇬🇷), a very com. word with the Greeks, requital, recompense, in a good and a bad sense (fr. the signif. of the mid. 🇬🇷 to requite, return like for like): in a good sense, 1 Tim. v. 4.*

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, [fr. Hom. down], a vine: Mt. xxvi. 29; Mk. xiv. 25; Lk. xxii. 18; Jas. iii. 12. In Jn. xv. 1, 4 sq. Christ calls himself a vine, because, as the vine imparts to its branches sap and productiveness, so Christ infuses into his followers his own divine strength and life. 🇬🇷 in Rev. xiv. 18 [Rec$st$. om. 🇬🇷], 19, signifies the enemies of Christ, who, ripe for destruction, are likened to clusters of grapes, to be cut off, thrown into the wine-press, and trodden there.*
