\Fruit (bear), Fruitful, Unfruitful\
<A-1,Noun,2590,karpos>
"fruit," is used (I) of the fruit of trees, fields, the earth,
that which is produced by the inherent energy of a living
organism, e.g., Matt. 7:17; Jas. 5:7,18; plural, e.g., in Luke
12:17 [for the next verse, see Note (1) below] and 2 Tim. 2:6;
of the human body, Luke 1:42; Acts 2:30; (II) metaphorically,
(a) of works or deeds, "fruit" being the visible expression of
power working inwardly and invisibly, the character of the
"fruit" being evidence of the character of the power producing
it, Matt. 7:16. As the visible expressions of hidden lusts are
the works of the flesh, so the invisible power of the Holy
Spirit in those who are brought into living union with Christ
(John 15:2-8,16) produces "the fruit of the Spirit," Gal. 5:22,
the singular form suggesting the unity of the character of the
Lord as reproduced in them, namely, "love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness,
temperance," all in constrast with the confused and often
mutually antagonistic "works of the flesh." So in Phil. 1:11,
marg., "fruit of righteousness." In Heb. 12:11, "the fruit of
righteousness" is described as "peaceable fruit," the outward
effect of Divine chastening; "the fruit of righteousness is sown
in peace," Jas. 3:18, i.e., the seed contains the fruit; those
who make peace, produce a harvest of righteousness; in Eph. 5:9,
"the fruit of the light" (RV, and see context) is seen in
"goodness and righteousness and truth," as the expression of the
union of the Christian with God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit);
for God is good, Mark 10:18, the Son is "the righteous One,"
Acts 7:52, the Spirit is "the Spirit of truth," John 16:13; (b)
of advantage, profit, consisting (1) of converts as the result
of evangelistic ministry, John 4:36; Rom. 1:13; Phil. 1:22; (2)
of sanctification, through deliverance from a life of sin and
through service to God, Rom. 6:22, in contrast to (3) the
absence of anything regarded as advantageous as the result of
former sins, ver. Rom. 6:21; (4) of the reward for ministration
to servants of God, Phil. 4:17; (5) of the effect of making
confession to God's Name by the sacrifice of praise, Heb. 13:15.
<A-2,Noun,1096,genema>
from ginomai, "to come into being," denotes "fruit" (a) as the
produce of the earth, e.g., the vine; in the following the best
mss. have this noun, Matt. 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18; [12:18
in some mss.; see Note (1)]; (b) metaphorically, as "the fruits
of ... righteousness" (i.e., of material ministrations to the
needy), 2 Cor. 9:10.
Notes: (1) In Luke 12:18 some mss. have gennemata, a
mistake for genemata; the best have sitos, "corn." (2) Genema is
to be distinguished from gennema, "offspring" (from gennao, "to
beget"), Matt. 3:7; 12:34; 23:33; Luke 3:7.
<A-3,Noun,3703,opora>
primarily denotes "late summer or early autumn," i.e., late
July, all August and early September. Since that is the time of
"fruit-bearing," the word was used, by metonymy, for the
"fruits" themselves, Rev. 18:14.
Note: Cp. phthinoporinos, "autumnal," in Jude 1:12,
"autumn trees," bearing no "fruit" when "fruit" should be
expected.
<B-1,Adjective,2593,karpophoros>
denotes "fruitful" (A, No. 1, and phero, "to bear"), Acts 14:17.
Cp. C, below.
<B-2,Adjective,175,akarpos>
"unfruitful" (a, negative, and A, No. 1), is used figuratively
(a) of "the word of the Kingdom," rendered "unfruitful" in the
case of those influenced by the cares of the world and the
deceitfulness of riches, Matt. 13:22; Mark 4:19; (b) of the
understanding of one praying with a "tongue," which effected no
profit to the church without an interpretation of it, 1 Cor.
14:14; (c) of the works of darkness, Eph. 5:11; (d) of believers
who fail "to maintain good works," indicating the earning of
one's living so as to do good works to others, Titus 3:14; of
the effects of failing to supply in one's faith the qualities of
virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, love of the
brethren, and love, 2 Pet. 1:8. In Jude 1:12 it is rendered
"without fruit," of ungodly men, who oppose the Gospel while
pretending to uphold it, depicted as "autumn trees" (see Note
under A, No. 3). In the Sept., Jer. 2:6.
<C-1,Verb,2592,karpophoreo>
"to bear or bring forth fruit" (see B, No. 1), is used (a) in
the natural sense, of the "fruit of the earth," Mark 4:28; (b)
metaphorically, of conduct, or that which takes effect in
conduct, Matt. 13:23; Mark 4:20; Luke 8:15; Rom. 7:4,5 (the
latter, of evil "fruit," borne "unto death," of activities
resulting from a state of alienation from God); Col. 1:6 in the
Middle Voice; Col. 1:10.
Note: For "bring forth fruit to perfection," Luke 8:14,
see PERFECTION, B.

\Frustrate\
* For FRUSTRATE, Gal. 2:21, see VOID
$$T0001152
\Fulfill, Fulfilling, Fulfillment\
<A-1,Verb,4137,pleroo>
signifies (1) "to fill" (see FILL); (2) "to fulfill, complete,"
(a) of time, e.g., Mark 1:15; Luke 21:24; John 7:8 (AV, "full
come"); Acts 7:23, RV, "he was well-nigh forty years old" (AV,
"was full" etc.), lit., "the time of forty years was fulfilled
to him;" Acts 7:30, AV, "were expired;" Acts 9:23; 24:27 (AV,
"after two years;" RV, "when two years were fulfilled"); (b) of
number, Rev. 6:11; (c) of good pleasure, 2 Thess. 1:11; (d) of
joy, Phil. 2:2; in the Passive Voice, "to be fulfilled," John
3:29; 17:13; in the following the verb is rendered "fulfilled"
in the RV, for the AV, "full," John 15:11; 16:24; 1 John 1:4; 2
John 1:12; (e) of obedience, 2 Cor. 10:6; (f) of works, Rev.
3:2; (g) of the future Passover, Luke 22:16; (h) of sayings,
prophecies, etc., e.g., Matt. 1:22 (twelve times in Matt., two
in Mark, four in Luke, eight in John, two in Acts); Jas. 2:23;
in Col. 1:25 the word signifies to preach "fully," to complete
the ministry of the Gospel appointed. See FILL.
<A-2,Verb,378,anapleroo>
"to fill up, fill completely" (ana, "up, up to," and No. 1), is
used (a) of Isaiah's prophecy of Israel's rejection of God,
fulfilled in the rejection of His Son, Matt. 13:14; (b) of the
status of a person in a church, RV, "filleth the place," for AV,
"occupieth the room," 1 Cor. 14:16; (c) of an adequate supply of
service, 1 Cor. 16:17, "supplied;" Phil. 2:30, "to supply;" (d)
of sins, 1 Thess. 2:16; (e) of the law of Christ; Gal. 6:2. See
FILL, OCCUPY, SUPPLY.
<A-3,Verb,5055,teleo>
"to end" (akin to telos, "an end"), signifies, among its various
meanings, "to give effect to," and is translated "fulfill," of
the Law, intentionally, Jas. 2:8, or unconsciously, Rom. 2:27;
of the prophetic Scriptures concerning the death of Christ, Acts
13:29; prohibitively, of the lust of the flesh, Gal. 5:16. See
ACCOMPLISH, FINISH.
Notes: (1) In regard to this word in Rev. 15:1,8, the
RV, "finished," corrects the AV, "filled up," and "fulfilled,"
as the judgments there indicated finish the whole series of
those consisting of the wrath of God; so in Rev. 20:3, of the
thousand years of the Millennium (cp. Rev. 20:5,7). (2) In Rev.
17:17, the RV has "should be accomplished," for AV, "shall be
fulfilled." (3) In Luke 22:37 the AV has "be accomplished" (RV,
"be fulfilled").
<A-4,Verb,4931,sunteleo>
"to complete," is translated "fulfilled" in the AV of Mark 13:4
(RV, "accomplished"). See COMPLETE.
<A-5,Verb,5048,teleioo>
"to bring to an end, fulfill," is rendered "to fulfill," of
days. Luke 2:43; of the Scripture, John 19:28. See FINISH.
<A-6,Verb,4135,plerophoreo>
"to bring in full measure," from pleroo (see No. 1), and phoreo,
"to bring;" hence, "to fulfill," of circumstances relating to
Christ, Luke 1:1, RV, "have been fulfilled" (AV "are most surely
believed"); of evangelical ministry, 2 Tim. 4:5, "fulfill" (AV,
"make full proof"); so in 2 Tim. 4:17, RV, "fully proclaimed"
(AV, "fully known"). See ASSURE, PERSUADE.
<A-7,Verb,1603,ekpleroo>
a strengthened form of No. 1, occurs in Acts 13:33.
Notes: (1) Poieo, "to do," is so rendered in the RV, for
AV "fulfill," in Acts 13:22; Eph. 2:3; Rev. 17:17 [for the end
of this verse see Note (2) under teleo, above]. (2) Ginomai, "to
become, to take place," is rendered "fulfilled" in the AV of
Matt. 5:18; 24:34; Luke 21:32, RV, "accomplished," in each
place.
<B-1,Noun,4138,pleroma>
stands for the result of the action expressed in pleroo, "to
fill." It is used to signify (a) "that which has been completed,
the complement, fullness," e.g., John 1:16; Eph. 1:23; some
suggest that the "fullness" here points to the body as the
filled receptacle of the power of Christ (words terminating in
ma are frequently concrete in character; cp. dikaioma in Rom.
5:18, act of righteousness); in Mark 8:20 the rendering
"basketfuls" (RV) represents the plural of this word, lit., "the
fulnesses of (how many baskets);" (b) "that which fills up,"
Matt. 9:16; Mark 2:21 (see FILL); (c) "a filling up,
fulfillment," Rom. 13:10, of the fulfilling of the Law. See
FULLNESS (below).

"performance"). See PERFECTION.
$$T0001153

crumbs); of leprosy, Luke 5:12; spiritually, of the Holy Spirit,
Luke 4:1; Acts 6:3; 7:55; 11:24; grace and truth, John 1:14;

ear," Mark 4:28; of a reward hereafter, 2 John 1:8.

probably akin to a root signifying "to measure," hence conveys
the sense of "having full measure," (a) of material things, a

thoughts and feelings, exercised (1) in evil things, hypocrisy,
Matt. 23:28; envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, Rom. 1:29;
the utterances of the tongue, Jas. 3:8; adultery, 2 Pet. 2:14;
(2) in virtues, goodness, Rom. 15:14; mercy, etc., Jas. 3:17.
<B-1,Verb,1073,gemo>
"to be full, to be heavily laden with," was primarily used of a
ship; it is chiefly used in the NT of evil contents, such as
extortion and excess, Matt. 23:25; dead men's bones, Matt.
23:27; extortion and wickedness, Luke 11:39; cursing, Rom. 3:14;
blasphemy, Rev. 17:3; abominations, Rev. 17:4; of Divine

rendered "to fill" in RV. (2) For Acts 2:13, AV, see FILL, No.
11. (3) For "fullgrown," Heb. 5:14, RV, see AGE, No. 2; for Jas.
1:15, RV, see FINISH, Note (2).

is, lit., "fullnesses of baskets." For Matt. 9:16; Mark 2:21 see
FILL, (B); for Mark 8:20 see FULFILL, B.

furnished," by means of the Scriptures, for spiritual service, 2
Tim. 3:17. See ACCOMPLISH.
<3,,4130,pletho>

<A-1,Noun,2039,ergasia>
signifies (a) "work, working, performance" (from ergon, "work"),
Eph. 4:19; in Luke 12:58, "diligence;" (b) "business or gain got
by work," Acts 16:16,19; in 19:24,25, the RV adheres to the
meaning "business" (AV, "gain" and "craft"). See CRAFT,
DILIGENCE.
<A-2,Noun,4200,porismos>
primarily denotes "a providing" (akin to porizo, "to procure"),
then, "a means of gain," 1 Tim. 6:5 (RV, "a way of gain"); 1
Tim. 6:6.

Titus 1:11. See LUCRE.
<B-1,Verb,2770,kerdaino>
akin to A, No. 3, signifies (I), literally, (a) "to gain
something," Matt. 16:26; 25:16 (in the best mss.),17,20,22; Mark
8:36; Luke 9:25; (b) "to get gain, make a profit," Jas. 4:13;
(II), metaphorically, (a) "to win persons," said (1) of
"gaining" an offending brother who by being told privately of
his offense, and by accepting the representations, is won from
alienation and from the consequences of his fault, Matt. 18:15;
(2) of winning souls into the kingdom of God by the Gospel, 1
Cor. 9:19,20 (twice),21,22, or by godly conduct, 1 Pet. 3:1 (RV,
"gained"); (3) of so practically appropriating Christ to oneself
that He becomes the dominating power in and over one's whole
being and circumstances, Phil. 3:8 (RV, "gain"); (b) "to gain
things," said of getting injury and loss, Acts 27:21, RV,
"gotten." See GET.

used intensively, and pragmateuomai, "to busy oneself, to be
engaged in business").
<B-3,Verb,4046,peripoieo>
"to save for oneself, gain," is in the Middle Voice in the best
mss. in Luke 17:33, RV, "gain." See PURCHASE.
Notes: (1) In Luke 19:16, AV, prosergazomai, "to work
out in addition," or "to earn in addition," is translated
"gained" (RV, "made"); in Luke 19:18 the verb poieo, "to make,"
is translated in the same way, the English verb "make" standing
both for "earning" and for "producing." (2) In 2 Cor. 12:17,18,
pleonekteo, "to claim unduly, to overreach," is translated "make
a gain of," AV (RV, "take advantage of"). (3) For ergazomai,
Rev. 18:17, RV, see TRADE. (4) In Acts 25:9, RV, katatithemi,

$$T0001165
\Gainsay, Gainsayer, Gainsaying\
<A-1,Verb,483,antilego>
"to contradict, oppose," lit., "say against," is translated
"gainsaying" in Rom. 10:21; Titus 2:9, RV (AV, "answering
again"), of servants in regard to masters; in Titus 1:9
"gainsayers." Moulton and Milligan (Vocab.) illustrate from the
papyri "the strong sense of antilego in Rom. 10:21,
'contradict,' 'oppose'." See ANSWER, CONTRADICT.
<A-2,Verb,471,anteipon>
which serves as an aorist tense of No. 1, is rendered "gainsay"
in Luke 21:15; "say against" in Acts 4:14. See SAY.
<B-1,Noun,485,antilogia>
akin to A, No. 1, is rendered "gainsaying," in Heb. 12:3, RV,
and Jude 1:11. Opposition in act seems to be implied in these
two places; though this sense has been questioned by some, it is
confirmed by instances from the papyri (Moulton and Milligan,
Vocab.). See CONTRADICTION, DISPUTE, STRIFE.
<C-1,Adjective,368,anantirrhetos>
lit., "not to be spoken against" (a, negative, n, euphonic,
anti, "against," rhetos, "spoken"), is rendered "cannot be
gainsaid" in Acts 19:36, RV.
<D-1,Adverb,369,anantirrhetos>

$$T0001166
\Gall\
<1,,5521,chole>
a word probably connected with chloe, "yellow," denotes "gall,"
(a) literal, Matt. 27:34 (cp. Ps. 69:21); some regard the word
here as referring to myrrh, on account of Mark 15:23; (b)
metaphorical, Acts 8:23, where "gall of bitterness" stands for
extreme wickedness, productive of evil fruit. In the OT it is
used (a) of a plant characterized by bitterness (probably
wormwood), Deut. 29:18; Hos. 10:4; Amos 6:12; (b) as the
translation of the word mererah, "bitterness," Job. 13:26, e.g.;
(c) as the translation of rosh, "venom;" in Deut. 32:32
"(grapes) of gall." In Job 20:25, the gall bladder is referred
to (the receptacle of bile). The ancients supposed that the
poison of serpents lay in the gall (see Job 20:14).
$$T0001167
\Games\
* For GAMES see CONTEND
$$T0001168
\Gangrene\
<1,,1044,gangraina>
"an eating sore," spreading corruption and producing
mortification, is used, in 2 Tim. 2:17, of errorists in the

watcher"), occurs in John 20:15.

CLOTHING, where see also esthesis (translated "garments" in the
AV of Luke 24:4, RV, "apparel"), enduma, chiton, and stole (RV,
"robe" in Mark 16:5). The fact of the wedding garment, enduma in
Matt. 22:11,12, indicates that persons of high rank showed their
magnificence by providing the guests with festal garments. See
APPAREL.
$$T0001173
\Garner\
<1,,596,apotheke>
"a storehouse, granary" (from apo, "away," and tithemi, "to

\Gate\
<1,,4439,pule>
is used (a) literally, for a larger sort of "gate," in the wall
either of a city or palace or temple, Luke 7:12, of Nain
(burying places were outside the "gates" of cities); Acts 3:10;
9:24; 12:10; Heb. 13:12; (b) metaphorically, of the "gates" at
the entrances of the ways leading to life and to destruction,
Matt. 7:13,14; some mss. have pule, for thura, "a door," in Luke
13:24 (see the RV); of the "gates" of Hades, Matt. 16:18, than
which nothing was regarded as stronger. The importance and
strength of "gates" made them viewed as synonymous with power.
By metonymy, the "gates" stood for those who held government and
administered justice there.
<2,,4440,pulon>
akin to No. 1, primarily signifies "a porch or vestibule," e.g.,
Matt. 26:71; Luke 16:20; Acts 10:17; 12:13,14; then, the
"gateway" or "gate tower" of a walled town, Acts 14:13; Rev.
21:12,13,15,21,25; 22:14.
Notes: (1) In Acts 3:2 thura denotes, not a "gate," but
a "door," RV. See DOOR. (2) Probatikos, signifying "of, or
belonging to, sheep," denotes a sheep "gate" in John 5:2, RV,
and AV marg. (3) The conjectural emendation which suggests the
idea of "floods" for "gates" in Matt. 16:18 is not sufficiently
substantiated to be accepted.
$$T0001177
\Gather, Gathering\
<A-1,Verb,4863,sunago>
"to gather or bring together," is said of (a) persons, e.g.,
Matt. 2:4; (b) things, e.g., Matt. 13:30; in Luke 15:13 the idea
is that of "gathering" his goods together for sale, i.e.,
"having sold off all." See ASSEMBLE, BESTOW, COME, RESORT.
<A-2,Verb,1996,episunago>
"to gather together," suggesting stress upon the place at which
the "gathering" is made (epi, "to"), is said of a hen and her
chickens, Matt. 23:37; and so of the Lord's would-be protecting
care of the people of Jerusalem, id., and Luke 13:34; of the
"gathering" together of the elect, Matt. 24:31; Mark 13:27; of
the "gathering" together of a crowd, Mark 1:33; Luke 12:1.

"to collect, gather up or out" (sun, "with" lego, "to pick
out"), is said of "gathering" grapes and figs, Matt. 7:16; Luke
6:44 (cp. No. 5); tares, Matt. 13:28,29,30,40; good fish, Matt.
13:48; "all things that cause stumbling, and them that do
iniquity," Matt. 13:41.
<A-4,Verb,4962,sustrepho>
signifies (a) "to twist together or roll into a mass" ("sun,
together," strepho, "to turn"), said of the bundle of sticks
"gathered" by Paul, Acts 28:3; (b) "to assemble or gather
together" (possibly, to journey about together), of persons,
Matt. 17:22 (in the best mss.), RV, marg.
<A-5,Verb,5166,trugao>
signifies "to gather in," of harvest, vintage, ripe fruits
(truge denotes "fruit," etc., gathered in autumn), Luke 6:44, of
grapes (last part of ver.; for the previous clause, as to figs,
see No. 3); metaphorically, of the clusters of "the vine of the
earth," Rev. 14:18; of that from which they are "gathered," Rev.
14:19.
<A-6,Verb,119,athroizo>
denotes "to assemble, gather together," Luke 24:33 (according to
the best mss.); the word is akin to athroos, "assembled in
crowds" (not found in the NT).
<A-7,Verb,4867,sunathroizo>
sun, "together," and No. 6, signifies (a) "to gather together,"
Acts 19:25, RV (AV, "called together"); in the Passive Voice,
12:12.
<A-8,Verb,1865,epathroizo>
"to assemble besides" (epi), said of multitudes, Luke 11:29, is
rendered "were gathering together" (Middle Voice), RV (AV, "were
gathered thick together").
Notes: (1) In Eph. 1:10, AV, the verb anakephalaioo, "to
sum up, head up," is rendered "might gather together in one"
(RV, "sum up"). (2) In Luke 8:4, AV (suneimi, "to come
together") as "were gathered together" (see RV). (4) For
"assuredly gathering," see CONCLUDE.
<B-1,Noun,1997,episunagoge>
"a gathering together," is used in 2 Thess. 2:1, of the
"rapture" of the saints; for Heb. 10:25, see ASSEMBLE.

* For GENDER see BEGET, No. 1
$$T0001183
\Genealogy\
<A-1,Noun,1076,genealogia>
is used in 1 Tim. 1:4; Titus 3:9, with reference to such
"genealogies" as are found in Philo, Josephus and the book of
Jubilees, by which Jews traced their descent from the patriarchs
and their families, and perhaps also to Gnostic "genealogies"
and orders of aeons and spirits. Amongst the Greeks, as well as
other nations, mythological stories gathered round the birth and
"genealogy" of their heroes. Probably Jewish "genealogical"
tales crept into Christian communities. Hence the warnings to
Timothy and Titus.
<B-1,Verb,1075,genealogeo>
"to reckon or trace a genealogy" (from genea, "a race," and
lego, "to choose, pick out"), is used, in the Passive Voice, of
Melchizedek in Heb. 7:6, RV, "whose genealogy (AV, 'descent') is
not counted."
<C-1,Adjective (negative),35,agenealogetos>
denoting "without recorded pedigree" (a, negative, and an
adjectival form from B), is rendered "without genealogy" in Heb.
7:3. The narrative in Gen. 14 is so framed in facts and
omissions as to foreshadow the person of Christ.

$$T0001186
\Gentiles\
<A-1,Noun,1484,ethnos>
whence Eng., "heathen," denotes, firstly, "a multitude or
company;" then, "a multitude of people of the same nature or
genus, a nation, people;" it is used in the singular, of the
Jews, e.g., Luke 7:5; 23:2; John 11:48,50-52; in the plural, of
nations (Heb., goiim) other than Israel, e.g., Matt. 4:15; Rom.
3:29; 11:11; 15:10; Gal. 2:8; occasionally it is used of gentile
converts in distinction from Jews, e.g., Rom. 11:13; 16:4; Gal.
2:12,14; Eph. 3:1.
<A-2,Noun,1672,hellen>
originally denoted the early descendants of Thessalian Hellas;
then, Greeks as opposed to barbarians, Rom. 1:14. It became
applied to such Gentiles as spoke the Greek language, e.g., Gal.
2:3; 3:28. Since that was the common medium of intercourse in
the Roman Empire, Greek and Gentile became more or less
interchangeable terms. For this term the RV always adheres to
the word "Greeks," e.g., John 7:35; Rom. 2:9,10; 3:9; 1 Cor.
10:32, where the local church is distinguished from Jews and
Gentiles; 1 Cor. 12:13.
<B-1,Adjective,1482,ethnikos>
is used as noun, and translated "Gentiles" in the RV of Matt.
5:47; 6:7; "the Gentile" in Matt. 18:17 (AV, "an heathen man");
"the Gentiles" in 3 John 1:7, AV and RV.
<C-1,Adverb,1483,ethnikos>
"in Gentile fashion, in the manner of Gentiles," is used in Gal.
2:14, "as do the Gentiles," RV.
Notes: (1) For the synonymous word laos, "a people," see
PEOPLE. (2) When, under the new order of things introduced by
the Gospel the mystery of the Church was made known, the word
ethnos was often used in contrast to the local church, 1 Cor.
5:1; 10:20; 12:2; 1 Thess. 4:5; 1 Pet. 2:12.
$$T0001187
\Gentle, Gentleness, Gently\
<A-1,Adjective,1933,epieikes>
from epi, "unto," and eikos, "likely," denotes "seemly,
fitting;" hence, "equitable, fair, moderate, forbearing, not
insisting on the letter of the law;" it expresses that
considerateness that looks "humanely and reasonably at the facts
of a case;" it is rendered "gentle" in 1 Tim. 3:3, RV (AV,
"patient"), in contrast to contentiousness; in Titus 3:2,
"gentle," in association with meekness; in Jas 3:17, as a
quality of the wisdom from above; in 1 Pet. 2:18, in association
with the good; for the RV rendering "forbearance" in Phil. 4:5,
RV, see FORBEARANCE. Cp. B. See PATIENT. In the Sept., Esth.
8:13; Ps. 86:5.
<A-2,Adjective,2261,epios>
"mild, gentle," was frequently used by Greek writers as
characterizing a nurse with trying children or a teacher with
refractory scholars, or of parents toward their children. In 1
Thess. 2:7, the Apostle uses it of the conduct of himself and
his fellow missionaries towards the converts at Thessalonica
(cp. 2 Cor. 11:13,20); in 2 Tim. 2:24, of the conduct requisite
for a servant of the Lord.
<B-1,Noun,1932,epieikeia>
or epieikia, denotes "fairness, moderation, gentleness," "sweet
reasonableness" (Matthew Arnold); it is said of Christ, 2 Cor.
10:1, where it is coupled with prautes, "meekness;" for its
meaning in Acts 24:4, see CLEMENCY. Trench (Syn. xlviii)
considers that the ideas of equity and justice, which are
essential to the meaning, do not adequately express it in
English. In contrast with prautes ("meekness"), which is more
especially a temperament or habit of mind, epieikeia expresses
an active dealing with others.
Notes: (1) For chrestotes, "kindness, goodness of
heart," rendered "gentleness" in Gal. 5:22, AV, see KINDNESS.
The corresponding adjective chrestos is translated "good,"
"kind," "easy," "gracious."

BEAR, No. 13.

\Get, Got, Gotten\
* (a) In the sense of acquiring:
<1,,2147,heurisko>
"to find," is translated "get" in Luke 9:12, of victuals. See
FIND.
<2,,2932,ktaomai>
"to acquire, procure for oneself, gain," is rendered "get" in
the RV of Matt. 10:9 and AV marg. (AV, text, "provide"); in Luke
18:12 (for AV, "possess"). See OBTAIN, POSSESS, PROVIDE,
PURCHASE.
<3,,2770,kerdaino>
"to gain," is rendered "have gotten" in Acts 27:21, RV (of
injury and loss); the word is there used metaphorically,
however, of avoiding, or saving oneself from. For the meaning,
"to get gain," Jas. 4:13, see GAIN.
Notes: (1) For pleonekteo; "to get an advantage of" (AV,
in 2 Cor. 2:11; RV, "an advantage may be gained over,"), see
ADVANTAGE. (2) In Rev. 15:2, AV, nikao, "to conquer, prevail
over," is translated "had gotten the victory" (RV, "come
victorious"). (3) In Rev. 3:17, RV, plouteo, "to become rich,"
is rendered "I have gotten riches."
(b) In the sense of going:
<4,,1826,exeimi>
"to go or come out," is used in Acts 27:43 of "getting" to land.
See DEPART, GO, No. 23.
<5,,5217,hupago>
"to go away, withdraw," is rendered "get," "get ... hence," in
Matt. 4:10; 16:23; Mark 8:33; some mss. have it in Luke 4:8. See
DEPART, GO, No. 8.
<6,,1831,exerchomai>
"to come or go out," is translated "get ... out" in Luke 13:31;
Acts 7:3; 22:18. See COME, No. 3, GO (Notes).
<7,,2597,katabaino>
"to descend," is translated "get ... down," in Acts 10:20. See
COME, No. 19.
<8,,1684,embaino>
"to enter," is translated "they got into" in John 6:24 (of
boats), RV [AV, "took (shipping)."]. See COME, No. 21.
<9,,576,apobaino>
"to go from," is translated "they got out" in John 21:9, RV (AV,
"were come to"). See COME, 21 (Note).
Note: In Acts 21:1, AV, apospao, "to withdraw or part
from," is rendered "we had gotten (from)," RV, "had parted
(from)." After the scene described at the end of ch. 20, it may
well have the force of "being reft away" (or tearing themselves
away) from them. Cp. the same verb in Luke 22:41 ("He was reft
away from them"). See DRAW, PART, WITHDRAW.

\Ghost\
* For GHOST see SPIRIT
$$T0001190
\Ghost (give up the)\
<1,,1606,ekpneo>
lit., "to breathe out" (ek, "out," pneo, "to breathe"), "to
expire," is used in the NT, without an object, "soul" or "life"
being understood, Mark 15:37,39; and Luke 23:46, of the death of
Christ. In Matt. 27:50; John 19:30, where different verbs are
used, the act is expressed in a way which stresses it as of His
own volition: in the former, "Jesus ... yielded up His spirit
(pneuma); in the latter, "He gave up His spirit."
<2,,1634,ekpsucho>
"to expire," lit., "to breathe out the soul (or life), to give
up the ghost" (ek, "out," psuche, "the soul"), is used in Acts
5:5,10; 12:23.
$$T0001191
\Gift, Giving\
<1,,1435,doron>
akin to didomi, "to give," is used (a) of "gifts" presented as
an expression of honor, Matt. 2:11; (b) of "gifts" for the
support of the temple and the needs of the poor, Matt. 15:5;
Mark 7:11; Luke 21:1,4; (c) of "gifts" offered to God, Matt.
5:23,24; 8:4; 23:18,19; Heb. 5:1; 8:3,4; 9:9; 11:4; (d) of
salvation by grace as the "gift" of God, Eph. 2:8; (e) of
"presents" for mutual celebration of an occasion, Rev. 11:10.
See OFFERING.
<2,,1431,dorea>
denotes "a free gift," stressing its gratuitous character; it is
always used in the NT of a spiritual or supernatural gift, John
4:10; Acts 8:20; 11:17; Rom. 5:15; 2 Cor. 9:15; Eph. 3:7; Heb.
6:4; in Eph. 4:7, "according to the measure of the gift of
Christ," the "gift" is that given by Christ; in Acts 2:28, "the
gift of the Holy Ghost," the clause is epexegetical, the "gift"
being the Holy Ghost Himself; cp. Acts 10:45; 11:17, and the
phrase, "the gift of righteouness," Rom. 5:17.
Note: For dorean, a form of this noun, used adverbially,
see FREELY.
<3,,1434,dorema>
see BOON.
<4,,1390,doma>
lends greater stress to the concrete character of the "gift,"
than to its beneficent nature, Matt. 7:11; Luke 11:13; Eph. 4:8;
Phil. 4:17.
<5,,1394,dosis>
denotes, properly, "the act of giving," Phil. 4:15,
euphemistically referring to "gifts" as a matter of debt and
credit accounts; then, objectively, "a gift," Jas. 1:17 (1st
mention; see BOON).
<6,,5486,charisma>
"a gift of grace, a gift involving grace" (charis) on the part
of God as the donor, is used (a) of His free bestowments upon
sinners, Rom. 5:15,16; 6:23; 11:29; (b) of His endowments upon
believers by the operation of the Holy Spirit in the churches,
Rom. 12:6; 1 Cor. 1:7; 12:4,9,28,30,31; 1 Tim. 4:14; 2 Tim. 1:6;
1 Pet. 4:10; (c) of that which is imparted through human
instruction, Rom. 1:11; (d) of the natural "gift" of continence,
consequent upon the grace of God as Creator, 1 Cor. 7:7; (e) of
gracious deliverances granted in answer to the prayers of fellow
believers, 2 Cor. 1:11.
Note: In the AV of 2 Cor. 8:4 charis, "grace," is
translated "gift." The RV, "in regard of this grace," adheres to
the true meaning, as in 2 Cor. 8:6.
<7,,3311,merismos>
"a dividing" (from meros, "a part"), is translated "gifts" in
Heb. 2:4, "gifts of the Holy Ghost" (marg., "distributions"); in
4:12, "dividing." See DIVIDING.
Note: In the AV of Luke 21:5 anathema, "a votive
offering," is translated "gifts" (RV, "offerings.")
$$T0001192
\Gird, Girded, Girt (about, up)\
<1,,2224,zonnumi>
or zonnuo, "to gird" in the Middle Voice, "to gird oneself," is
used of the long garments worn in the east, John 21:18; Acts
12:8 (perizonnumi in some mss.).
<2,,328,anazonnumi>
"to gird up" (ana, "up," and No. 1), is used metaphorically of
the loins of the mind, 1 Pet. 1:13; cp. Luke 12:35 (see No. 4).
The figure is taken from the circumstances of the Israelites as
they ate the Passover in readiness for their journey, Exod.
12:11; the Christian is to have his mental powers alert in
expectation of Christ's coming. The verb is in the Middle Voice,
indicating the special interest the believer is to take in so
doing.
<3,,1241,diazonnumi>
"to gird round," i.e., firmly (dia, "throughout," used
intensively), is used of the Lord's act in "girding" Himself
with a towel, John 13:4,5, and of Peter's girding himself with
his coat, John 21:7.
<4,,4024,perizonnumi>
"to gird around or about," is used (a) literally, of "girding"
oneself for service, Luke 12:37; 17:8; for rapidity of movement,
Acts 12:8; (b) figuratively, of the condition for service on the
part of the followers of Christ, Luke 12:35; Eph. 6:14; (c)
emblematically, of Christ's priesthood, Rev. 1:13, indicative of
majesty of attitude and action, the Middle Voice suggesting the
particular interest taken by Christ in "girding" Himself thus;
so of the action of the angels mentioned in 15:6.
$$T0001193
\Girdle\
<1,,2223,zone>
Eng., "zone," denotes "a belt or girdle," Matt. 3:4; Mark 1:6;
Acts 21:11; Rev. 1:13; 15:6; it was often hollow, and hence
served as a purse, Matt. 10:9; Mark 6:8.
$$T0001194
\Give\
<1,,1325,didomi>
"to give," is used with various meanings according to the
context; it is said, e.g., of seed "yielding fruit," Mark 4:7,8;
of "giving" (i.e., exercising) diligence, Luke 12:58; of
"giving" lots, Acts 1:26, RV (AV, "gave forth"); of "rendering"
vengeance, 2 Thess. 1:8; of "striking or smiting" Christ, John
18:22 (lit., "gave a blow") and John 19:3 (lit., "they gave Him
blows"); of "putting" a ring on the hand, Luke 15:22; of Paul's
"adventuring" himself into a place, Acts 19:31. (In Rev. 17:13
some mss. have diadidomi, "to divide"). See ADVENTURE, BESTOW,
No. 1, COMMIT, Note (1), DELIVER, GRANT, MAKE, MINISTER, OFFER,
PUT, SET, SHEW, SUFFER, TAKE, UTTER, YIELD.
Note: In the following the RV gives the correct
rendering: Acts 7:25, "was giving them deliverance" (AV, "would
deliver them"); Acts 10:40, "gave Him to be made manifest" (AV,
"shewed Him openly"); Rev. 13:14,15, "it was given him" (AV, "he
had power").
<2,,591,apodidomi>
signifies "to give up or back, to restore, return, render what
is due, to pay, give an account" (apo, "back," and No. 1), e.g.,
of an account. Matt. 5:26; 12:36; Luke 16:2; Acts. 19:40; Heb.
13:17; 1 Pet. 4:5; of wages, etc., e.g., Matt. 18:25-34; 20:8;
of conjugal duty, 1 Cor. 7:3; of a witness, Acts 4:33;
frequently of recompensing or rewarding, 1 Tim. 5:4; 2 Tim.
4:8,14; 1 Pet. 3:9; Rev. 18:6; 22:12. In the Middle Voice it is
used of "giving" up what is one's own; hence, "to sell," Acts
5:8; 7:9; Heb. 12:16. See DELIVER.
<3,,1929,epididomi>
signifies (a) "to give by handing, to hand" (epi, "over"), e.g.,
Matt. 7:9,10; Luke 4:17; 24:30, here of the Lord's act in
"handing" the broken loaf to the two at Emmaus, an act which was
the means of the revelation of Himself as the crucified and
risen Lord; the simple verb, No. 1, is used of His "handing" the
bread at the institution of the Lord's Supper, Matt. 26:26; Mark
14:22; Luke 22:19; this meaning of the verb epididomi is found
also in Acts 15:30, "they delivered;" (b) "to give in, give
way," Acts 27:15, RV, "we gave way to it." See DELIVER.
<4,,3330,metadidomi>
"to give a share of, impart" (meta, "with"), as distinct from
"giving." The Apostle Paul speaks of "sharing" some spiritual
gift with Christians at Rome, Rom. 1:11, "that I may impart,"
and exhorts those who minister in things temporal, to do so as
"sharing," and that generously, Rom. 12:8, "he that giveth;" so
in Eph. 4:28; Luke 3:11, in 1 Thess. 2:8 he speaks of himself
and his fellow missionaries as having been well pleased to
impart to the converts both God's Gospel and their own souls
(i.e., so "sharing" those with them as to spend themselves and
spend out their lives for them). See IMPART.
<5,,3860,paradidomi>
"to give or hand over," is said of "giving" up the ghost, John
19:30; of "giving" persons up to evil, Acts 7:42; Rom. 1:24,26;
of "giving" one's body to be burned, 1 Cor. 13:3; of Christ's
"giving" Himself up to death, Gal. 2:20; Eph. 5:2,25. See
BETRAY, COMMIT, DELIVER.
<6,,4272,prodidomi>
"to give before, or first" (pro, "before"), is found in Rom.
11:35.
<7,,5483,charizomai>
primarily denotes "to show favor or kindness," as in Gal. 3:18,
RV, "hath granted" (AV, "gave"); then, to "give" freely, bestow
graciously; in this sense it is used almost entirely of that
which is "given" by God, Acts 27:24, "God hath granted thee all
them that sail with thee" (RV); in Rom. 8:32, "shall ... freely
give;" 1 Cor. 2:12, "are freely given;" Phil. 1:29, "it hath
been granted" (said of believing on Christ and suffering for
Him); Phil. 2:9, "hath given" (said of the name of Jesus as
"given" by God); Philem. 1:22, "I shall be granted unto you"
(RV). In Luke 7:21, it is said in regard to the blind, upon whom
Christ "bestowed" sight (RV). The only exceptions, in this sense
