passed round the lower jaw of the horse. Hence in Ps. 32:9 the
meaning is bridle and halter" (Hastings, Bib. Dic.).

<B-1,Verb,5468,chalinagogeo>
from chalinos and ago, "to lead," signifies "to lead by a
bridle, to bridle, to hold in check, restrain;" it is used
metaphorically of the tongue and of the body in Jas. 1:26; 3:2.

$$T0000360
\Briefly\
<1,,1223 3641,di' oligon>

$$T0000377
\Brute\
<1,,249,alogos>
translated "brute" in the AV of 2 Pet. 2:12; Jude 1:10,
signifies "without reason," RV, though, as J. Hastings points
out, "brute beasts" is not at all unsuitable, as "brute" is from
Latin brutus, which means "dull, irrational;" in Acts 25:27 it
is rendered "unreasonable."

$$T0000378
\Bud\
<1,,985,blastano>

beat the face black and blue (to give a black eye), is used
metaphorically, and translated "buffet" in 1 Cor. 9:27 (AV,
"keep under"), of Paul's suppressive treatment of his body, in
order to keep himself spiritually fit (RV marg., "bruise"); so
RV marg. in Luke 18:5, of the persistent widow, text, "wear out"

\Build, Builder, Building\
<A-1,Verb,3618,oikodomeo>

hence, to build anything, e.g., Matt. 7:24; Luke 4:29; 6:48, RV,
"well builded" (last clause of verse); John 2:20; is frequently
used figuratively, e.g., Acts 20:32 (some mss. have No. 3 here);
Gal. 2:18; especially of edifying, Acts 9:31; Rom. 15:20; 1 Cor.
10:23; 14:4; 1 Thess. 5:11 (RV). In 1 Cor. 8:10 it is translated

God.

<B-1,Noun,3619,oikodome>
"a building, or edification" (see A, No. 1), is used (a)
literally, e.g., Matt. 24:1; Mark 13:1,2; (b) figuratively,
e.g., Rom. 14:19 (lit., "the things of building up"); 15:2; of a
local church as a spiritual building, 1 Cor. 3:9, or the whole
church, the body of Christ, Eph. 2:21. It expresses the
strengthening effect of teaching, 1 Cor. 14:3,5,12,26; 2 Cor.
10:8; 12:19; 13:10, or other ministry, Eph. 4:12,16,29 (the idea
conveyed is progress resulting from patient effort). It is also
used of the believer's resurrection body, 2 Cor. 5:1. See
EDIFICATION, EDIFY.

<B-2,Noun,1739,endomesis>
"a thing built, structure" (en, "in," domao, "to build"), is
used of the wall of the heavenly city, Rev. 21:18 (some suggest
that the word means "a fabric;" others, "a roofing or coping;"
these interpretations are questionable; the probable
significance is "a building").

<B-3,Noun,2937,ktisis>
"a creation," is so translated in the RV of Heb. 9:11 (AV
"building,") See CREATION, B, No. 1, CREATURE, ORDINANCE.

<B-4,Noun,5079,technites>
"an artificer, one who does a thing by rules of art," is
rendered "builder" in Heb. 11:10, marg., "architect," which
gives the necessary contrast between this and the next noun in
the verse. See CRAFTSMAN, No. 2.

$$T0000383
\Burden, Burdened, Burdensome\
<A-1,Noun,922,baros>
denotes "a weight, anything pressing on one physically," Matt.
20:12, or "that makes a demand on one's resources," whether
material, 1 Thess. 2:6 (to be burdensome), or spiritual, Gal.
6:2; Rev. 2:24, or religious, Acts 15:28. In one place it
metaphorically describes the future state of believers as "an
eternal weight of glory," 2 Cor. 4:17. See WEIGHT.

<A-2,Noun,5413,phortion>
lit., "something carried" (from phero, "to bear"), is always
used metaphorically (except in Acts 27:10, of the lading of a
ship); of that which, though "light," is involved in
discipleship of Christ, Matt. 11:30; of tasks imposed by the
scribes, Pharisees and lawyers, Matt. 23:4; Luke 11:46; of that
which will be the result, at the judgment-seat of Christ, of
each believer's work, Gal. 6:5.

        Note: The difference between phortion and baros is, that
phortion is simply "something to be borne," without reference to
its weight, but baros always suggests what is "heavy or
burdensome." Thus Christ speaks of His "burden" (phortion) as
"light;" here baros would be inappropriate; but the "burden" of
a transgressor is baros, "heavy." Contrast baros in Gal. 6:2,
with phortion in Gal 6:5.

<A-3,Noun,1117,gomos>
from a root gem---, signifying "full, or heavy," seen in gemo,
"to be full," gemizo, "to fill," Lat. gemo, "to groan," denotes
"the lading of freight of a ship," Acts 21:3, or "merchandise
conveyed in a ship," and so "merchandise in general," Rev.
18:11,12. See MERCHANDISE.

<B-1,Verb,916,bareo>
akin to A, No. 1, is used of the effect of drowsiness, "were
heavy," Matt. 26:43; Mark 14:40; Luke 9:32; of the effects of
gluttony, Luke 21:34 ("overcharged"); of the believer's present
physical state in the body, 2 Cor. 5:4; of persecution, 2 Cor.
1:8; of a charge upon material resources, 1 Tim. 5:16 (RV). See
CHARGE, HEAVY PRESS.

<B-2,Verb,1912,epibareo>
epi, "upon" (intensive), "to burden heavily," is said of
material RV, "burden," AV, "be chargeable to;" of the effect of
spiritual admonition and discipline, 2 Cor. 2:5, RV, "press
heavily," AV, "overcharge." See CHARGEABLE, PRESS.

<B-3,Verb,2599,katabareo>
"to weigh down" (kata, "down"), "overload," is used of material
charges, in 2 Cor. 12:16.

<B-4,Verb,2655,katanarkao>
"to be a burden, to be burdensome," primarily signifies "to be
numbed or torpid, to grow stiff" (narke is the "torpedo or cramp
fish," which benumbs anyone who touches it); hence, "to be idle
to the detriment of another person" (like a useless limb), 2
Cor. 11:9; 12:13,14. See CHARGEABLE.

        Note: For thlipsis, "distress, affliction," "burdened"
(AV of 2 Cor. 8:13) see AFFLICTION, B. No. 4.

<C-1,Adjective,4,abares>

see A, No. 1, "to prepare a body for burial," is used of any
provision for this purpose, Matt. 26:12; John 19:40.

<B-2,Verb,2290,thapto>
occurs in Matt. 8:21,22, and parallels in Luke; Matt. 14:12;

15:4.

<B-3,Verb,4916,sunthapto>

13:30,40; the earth and its works, 2 Pet. 3:10; trees and grass,
Rev. 8:7. This form should be noted in Acts 19:19, 1 Cor. 3:15;
Heb. 13:11; Rev. 17:16. In each place the full rendering "burn
utterly" might be used, as in Rev. 18:8.

kaustos, a verbal adjective from kaio, "to burn"), i.e., "a
victim," the whole of which is burned, as in Ex. 30:20; Lev.
5:12; 23:8,25,27. It is used in Mark 12:33, by the scribe who

\Business\
<A-1,Noun,5532,chreia>
translated "business" in Acts 6:3, of the distribution of funds,
signifies "a necessity, a need," and is used in this place
concerning duty or business. See LACK, NECESSITY, NEED, USE,
WANT.

<A-2,Noun,2039,ergasia>

(from ergon, "work"). See DILIGENCE.

<B-1,Adjective,2398,idios>
expresses "what is one's own" (hence, Eng. "idiot," in a changed
sense, lit., "a person with his own opinions"); the neuter
plural with the article (ta idia) signifies "one's own things."
In 1 Thess. 4:11, the noun is not expressed in the original but
is supplied in the English versions by "business," "your own
business." For the same phrase, otherwise expressed, see John
1:11, "His own (things);" John 16:32; 19:27, "his own (home);"
Acts 21:6, "home." In Luke 2:49, the phrase "in My Father's

$$T0000393
\Busybody\
<A-1,Verb,4020,periergazomai>
lit., "to be working round about, instead of at one's own
business" (peri, "around," ergon, "work"), signifies to take
more pains than enough about a thing, to waste one's labor, to
be meddling with, or bustling about, other people's matters.
This is found in 2 Thess. 3:11, where, following the verb
ergazomai, "to work," it forms a paronomasia. This may be
produced in a free rendering: "some who are not busied in their
own business, but are overbusied in that of others."

<B-1,Adjective,4021,periergos>
akin to A, denoting "taken up with trifles," is used of magic
arts in Acts 19:19; "busybodies" in 1 Tim. 5:13, i.e., meddling

"an overseer," translated "busybody" in the AV of 1 Pet. 4:15,

\Buy, Bought\
<1,,59,agorazo>
primarily, "to frequent the market-place," the agora, hence "to
do business there, to buy or sell," is used lit., e.g., in Matt.
14:15. Figuratively Christ is spoken of as having bought His
redeemed, making them His property at the price of His blood
(i.e., His death through the shedding of His blood in expiation
for their sins), 1 Cor. 6:20; 7:23; 2 Pet. 2:1; see also Rev.
5:9; 14:3,4 (not as AV, "redeemed"). Agorazo does not mean "to
redeem." See REDEEM.

<2,,5608,oneomai>
"to buy, in contradistinction to selling," is used in Acts 7:16,
of the purchase by Abraham of a burying place.

        Note: In Jas. 4:13 (AV) the verb emporeuomai (Eng.,
"emporium") is rendered "buy and sell." Its meaning is to trade,
traffic, RV. It primarily denotes to travel, to go on a journey,
then, to do so for traffic purposes; hence to trade; in 2 Pet.
2:3, "make merchandise of." See MERCHANDISE.

$$T0000395
\By\
* For BY See Note +, p. 9.

        Note: The phrase "by and by" in the AV is in several
places misleading. The three words exautes, Mark 6:25, euthus,
Matt. 13:21, and eutheos, Luke 17:7; 21:9, mean "straightway,"
"immediately." See under these words.

$$T0000396
\Cage\
<1,,5438,phulake>
from phulasso, "to guard," denotes (a) "a watching, keeping
watch," Luke 2:8; (b) "persons keeping watch, a guard," Acts
12:10; (c) "a period during which watch is kept," e.g., Matt.
24:43; (d) "a prison, a hold." In Rev. 18:2, AV, Babylon is
described figuratively, first as a "hold" and then as a "cage"
of every unclean and hateful bird (RV, "hold" in both clauses;
marg., "prison"). The word is almost invariably translated
"prison." See HOLD, IMPRISONMENT, PRISON, WARD, WATCH.

$$T0000397
\Calf\
<1,,3448,moschos>
primarily denotes "anything young," whether plants or the
offspring of men or animals, the idea being that which is tender
and delicate; hence "a calf, young bull, heifer," Luke
15:23,27,30; Heb. 9:12,19; Rev. 4:7.

<2,,3447,moschopoieo>
signifies "to make a calf" (moschos, and poieo, "to make"), Acts
7:41.

$$T0000398
\Call, Called, Calling\
<A-1,Verb,2564,kaleo>

(see B and C, below), is used (a) with a personal object, "to
call anyone, invite, summon," e.g., Matt. 20:8; 25:14; it is
used particularly of the Divine call to partake of the blessings
of redemption, e.g., Rom. 8:30; 1 Cor. 1:9; 1 Thess. 2:12; Heb.
9:15; cp. B and C, below; (b) of nomenclature or vocation, "to
call by a name, to name;" in the Passive Voice, "to be called by
a name, to bear a name." Thus it suggests either vocation or
destination; the context determines which, e.g., Rom. 9:25-26;
"surname," in Acts 15:37, AV, is incorrect (RV, "was called").
See BID, NAME.

to be dedicated to a person, as to the Lord, Acts 15:17 (from
Amos 9:12); Jas. 2:7; (c) "to call a person by a name by
charging him with an offense," as the Pharisees charged Christ
with doing His works by the help of Beelzebub, Matt. 10:25 (the
most authentic reading has epikaleo, for kaleo); (d) "to call
upon, invoke;" in the Middle Voice, "to call upon for oneself"
(i.e., on one's behalf), Acts 7:59, or "to call upon a person as
a witness," 2 Cor. 1:23, or to appeal to an authority, Acts

ACCUSE, IMPLEAD.

        (2) Parakaleo, "to beseech, intreat," is rendered "have

calling Christ "Anathema," but making use of the phrase

"calling" the origin, nature and destiny of which are heavenly
(the idea of invitation being implied); it is used especially of
God's invitation to man to accept the benefits of salvation,

which the "calling" finds one); Eph. 1:18, "His calling;" Phil.

calling;" 2 Tim. 1:9, a "holy calling;" Heb. 3:1, a "heavenly

"calm" of the sea, the smiling ocean being a favorite metaphor
of the poets), Matt. 8:26; Mark 4:39; Luke 8:24.
