- \Green\
- <1,,5515,chloros>
- akin to chloe, "tender foliage" (cp. the name "Chloe," 1 Cor.
- 1:11, and Eng., "chlorine"), denotes (a) "pale green," the color
- of young grass, Mark 6:39; Rev. 8:7; 9:4, "green thing;" hence,
- (b) "pale," Rev. 6:8, the color of the horse whose rider's name
- is Death. See PALE.
-
- <2,,5200,hugros>
- denotes "wet, moist" (the opposite of xeros, "dry"); said of
- wood, sappy, "green," Luke 23:31, i.e., if they thus by the fire
- of their wrath treated Christ, the guiltless, holy, the
- fruitful, what would be the fate of the perpetrators, who were
- like the dry wood, exposed to the fire of Divine wrath.

- \Greet, Greeting\
- <A-1,Verb,782,aspazomai>
- signifies "to greet, welcome," or "salute." In the AV it is
- chiefly rendered by either of the verbs "to greet" or "to
- salute." "There is little doubt that the revisers have done
- wisely in giving 'salute' ... in the passages where AV has
- 'greet.' For the cursory reader is sure to imagine a difference
- of Greek and of meaning when he finds, e.g., in Phil. 4:21,
- "Salute evey saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with
- me greet you,' or in 3 John 1:14, "Our friends salute thee.
- Greet the friends by name'" (Hastings, Bible Dic.). In Acts
- 25:13 the meaning virtually is "to pay his respects to."
-
- In two passages the renderings vary otherwise; in Acts
- 20:1, of bidding farewell, AV, "embraced them," RV, "took leave
- of them," or, as Ramsay translates it, "bade them farewell;" in
- Heb. 11:13, of welcoming promises, AV, "embraced," RV,
- "greeted."
-
- The verb is used as a technical term for conveying
- "greetings" at the close of a letter, often by an amanuensis,
- e.g., Rom. 16:22, the only instance of the use of the first
- person in this respect in the NT; see also 1 Cor. 16:19,20; 2
- Cor. 13:13; Phil. 4:22; Col. 4:10-15; 1 Thess. 5:26; 2 Tim.
- 4:21; Titus 3:15; Philem. 1:23; Heb. 13:24; 1 Pet. 5:13,14; 2
- John 1:13. This special use is largely illustrated in the
- papyri, one example of this showing how keenly the absence of
- the greeting was felt. The papyri also illustrate the use of the
- addition "by name," when several persons are included in the
- greeting, as in 3 John 1:14 (Moulton and Milligan, Vocab). See
- EMBRACE, LEAVE, SALUTE.
-
- <A-2,Verb,5463,chairo>
- "to rejoice," is thrice used as a formula of salutation in Acts
- 15:23, AV, "send greeting," RV, "greeting;" so Acts 23:26; Jas.
- 1:1. In 2 John 1:10,11, the RV substitutes the phrase (to give)
- "greeting," for the AV (to bid) "God speed." See FAREWELL, GLAD,
- HAIL, JOY, REJOICE.
-
- <B-1,Noun,783,aspasmos>
- a salutation, is always so rendered in the RV; AV, "greetings"
- in Matt. 23:7; Luke 11:43; 20:46; it is used (a) orally in those
- instances and in Mark 12:38; Luke 1:29,41,44; (b) in written
- salutations, 1 Cor. 16:21 (cp. A, No. 1, in ver. 20); Col. 4:18;
- 2 Thess. 3:17.
-
- $$T0001255
- \Grief, Grieve\
- <A-1,Noun,3077,lupe>
- signifies "pain," of body or mind; it is used in the plural in 1
- Pet. 2:19 only, RV, "griefs" (AV, "grief"); here, however, it
- stands, by metonymy, for "things that cause sorrow, grievances;"
- hence Tyndale's rendering, "grief," for Wycliffe's "sorews;"
- everywhere else it is rendered "sorrow," except in Heb. 12:11,
- where it is translated "grievous" (lit., "of grief"). See
- HEAVINESS, SORROW.
-
- <B-1,Verb,3076,lupeo>
- akin to A, denotes (a), in the Active Voice, "to cause pain, or
- grief, to distress, grieve," e.g., 2 Cor. 2:2 (twice, Active and
- Passive Voices); 2 Cor. 2:5 (twice), RV, "hath caused sorrow"
- (AV, "have caused grief," and "grieved"); 2 Cor. 7:8, "made
- (you) sorry;" Eph. 4:30, of grieving the Holy Spirit of God (as
- indwelling the believer); (b) in the Passive Voice, "to be
- grieved, to be made sorry, to be sorry, sorrowful," e.g., Matt.
- 14:9, RV, "(the king) was grieved" (AV, "was sorry"); Mark
- 10:22, RV, "(went away) sorrowful" (AV, "grieved"); John 21:17,
- "(Peter) was grieved;" Rom. 14:15, "(if ... thy brother) is
- grieved;" 2 Cor. 2:4, "(not that) ye should be made sorry," RV,
- AV, "ye should be grieved." See HEAVINESS, SORROW, SORROWFUL,
- SORRY.
-
- <B-2,Verb,4818,sunlupeo>
- or sullupeo, is used in the Passive Voice in Mark 3:5, "to be
- grieved" or afflicted together with a person, said of Christ's
- "grief" at the hardness of heart of those who criticized His
- healing on the Sabbath day; it here seems to suggest the
- sympathetic nature of His grief because of their self-injury.
- Some suggest that the sun indicates the mingling of "grief" with
- His anger.
-
- <B-3,Verb,4727,stenazo>
- "to groan" (of an inward, unexpressed feeling of sorrow), is
- translated "with grief" in Heb. 13:17 (marg. "groaning"). It is
- rendered "sighed" in Mark 7:34; "groan," in Rom. 8:23; 2 Cor.
- 5:2,4; "murmur," in Jas. 5:9, RV (AV, "grudge"). See GROAN,
- MURMUR, SIGH.
-
- Notes: (1) Diaponeo, "to work out with labor," in the
- Passive Voice, "to be sore troubled," is rendered "being
- grieved" in Acts 4:2; 16:18, AV (RV, "sore troubled"). See
- TROUBLE. In some mss., Mark 14:4. (2) Prosochthizo, "to be angry
- with," is rendered "was grieved" in Heb. 3:10,17, AV (RV, "was
- displeased). See DISPLEASE.
-
- $$T0001256
- \Grievous, Grievously\
- <A-1,Adjective,926,barus>
- denotes "heavy, burdensome;" it is always used metaphorically in
- the NT, and is translated "heavy" in Matt. 23:4, of Pharisaical
- ordinances; in the comparative degree "weightier," Matt. 23:23,
- of details of the law of God; "grievous," metaphorically of
- wolves, in Acts 20:29; of charges, Acts 25:7; negatively of
- God's commandments, 1 John 5:3 (causing a burden on him who
- fulfills them); in 2 Cor. 10:10, "weighty," of Paul's letters.
- See HEAVY, WEIGHTY.
-
- <A-2,Adjective,4190,poneros>
- "painful, bad," is translated "grievous" in Rev. 16:2, of a sore
- inflicted retributively. See BAD.
-
- <A-3,Adjective,1419,dusbastaktos>
- "hard to be borne" (from dus, an inseparable prefix, like Eng.
- "mis---," and "un---," indicating "difficulty, injuriousness,
- opposition," etc., and bastazo, "to bear"), is used in Luke
- 11:46 and, in some mss., in Matt. 23:4, "grievous to be borne;"
- in the latter the RV marg. has "many ancient authorities omit."
-
- <A-4,Adjective,5467,chalepos>
- "hard," signifies (a) "hard to deal with," Matt. 8:28 (see
- FIERCE); (b) "hard to bear, grievous," 2 Tim. 3:1, RV,
- "greivous" (AV, "perilous"), said of a characteristic of the
- last days of this age. See FIERCE.
-
- Notes: (1) For the noun lupe, "grievous," in Heb. 12:11,
- see GRIEF. (2) In Phil. 3:1, the adjective okneros, "shrinking,"
- or "causing shrinking," hence, "tedious" (akin to okneo, "to
- shrink"), is rendered "irksome" in the RV (AV, "grievous"); the
- Apostle intimates that, not finding his message tedious, he has
- no hesitation in giving it. In Matt. 25:26; Rom. 12:11,
- "slothful."
-
- <B-1,Adverb,1171,deinos>
- akin to deos, "fear," signifies (a) "terribly," Matt. 8:6,
- "grievously (tormented);" (b) "vehemently," Luke 11:53. See
- VEHEMENTLY.
-
- <B-2,Adverb,2560,kakos>
- "badly, ill," is translated "grievously (vexed)," in Matt.
- 15:22. See AMISS, EVIL, MISERABLY, SORE.
-
- Notes: (1) In Mark 9:20; Luke 9:42, the RV renders the
- verb susparasso "tare (him) grievously," the adverb bringing out
- the intensive force of the prefix su--- (i.e., sun); the meaning
- may be "threw violently to the ground." (2) In Matt. 17:15, the
- idiomatic phrase, consisting of No. 2 (above) with echo, "to
- have," (lit., "hath badly"), is rendered "suffereth grievously,"
- RV (AV, "is ... sore vexed").
-
- $$T0001257
- \Grind\
- <1,,229,aletho>
- signifies "to grind at the mill," Matt. 24:41; Luke 17:35. The
- Sept. has both the earlier form aleo, Isa. 47:2, and the later
- one aletho, used in the Koine period, Num. 11:8; Judg. 16:21;
- Eccl. 12:3,4.
-
- <2,,5149,trizo>
- primarily of animal sounds, "to chirp, cry," etc., is used of
- grinding the teeth, Mark 9:18, RV, "grindeth" (AV, "gnasheth
- with"). See GNASH.
-
- Note: In Matt. 21:44; Luke 20:18, likmao, "to winnow,"
- as of grain, by throwing it up against the wind, to scatter the
- chaff and straw, hence has the meaning "to scatter," as chaff or
- dust, and is translated "will scatter ... as dust," RV (AV,
- "will grind ... to powder"). In the Sept. it is used of being
- scattered by the wind or of sifting (cp. Amos 9:9). The use of
- the verb in the papyri writings suggests the meaning, "to ruin,
- destroy" (Deissmann).
-
- $$T0001258
- \Groan, Groaning\
- <A-1,Verb,1690,embrimaomai>
- from en, "in," and brime, "strength," is rendered "groaned" in
- John 11:33 (preferable to the RV marg., "He had indignation");
- so in John 11:38. The Lord was deeply moved doubtless with the
- combination of circumstances, present and in the immediate
- future. Indignation does not here seem to express His feelings.
- See CHARGE.

-
- <A-3,Verb,4959,sustenazo>

- the plural, of the intercessory groanings of the Holy Spirit.
-
- $$T0001259
- \Gross (to wax)\

-
- $$T0001260
- \Ground, Grounded\

- (said of a local church); the RV marg., "stay" is preferable.
-
- Notes: (1) In Mark 4:16 the RV rightly has "rocky
- places" (petrodes) for AV, "stoney ground." (2) In Acts 27:29,
- for the AV, "rocks" the RV has "rocky ground," lit., "rough
- places," i.e., a rocky shore. (3) In Luke 14:18, agros, "a
- field," is translated "a piece of ground," AV, RV, "a field."

- the development of apostolic work. See ARISE, No. 5.

- "growth" of plants, or seed, Nos. 1, 4, 5.
-
- <6,,5232,huperauxano>
- "to increase beyond measure" (huper, "over," and No. 1), is used
- of faith and love, in their living and practical effects, 2
- Thess. 1:3. Lightfoot compares this verb and the next in the

- "(setting a) watch," and "... the watch." This was the Temple
- guard, stationed under a Roman officer in the tower of Antonia,

-
- <A-2,Noun,4688,spekoulator>
- Latin, speculator, primarily denotes "a lookout officer," or
- "scout," but, under the emperors, "a member of the bodyguard;"

-
- <A-3,Noun,5441,phulax>
- "a guard, keeper" (akin to phulasso, "to guard, keep"), is
- translated "keepers" in Acts 5:23; in Acts 12:6,19, RV, "guards"
- (AV, "keepers"). See KEEPER.

- 2 Cor. 11:32, "guarded." AV, "kept," i.e., kept the city, "with
- a garrison." It is used of the security of the Christian until
- the end, 1 Pet. 1:5, RV, "are guarded," and of the sense of that
- security that is his when he puts all his matters into the hand
- of God, Phil. 4:7, RV, "shall guard," In these passages the idea
- is not merely that of protection, but of inward garrisoning as
- by the Holy Spirit; in Gal. 3:23 ("were kept in ward"), it means
- rather a benevolent custody and watchful guardianship in view of
- worldwide idolatry (cp. Isa. 5:2). See KEEP.

- Pentecost and Tabernacles the people were commanded to repair to

- "guides."

- \Habitation\
- <1,,3613,oiketerion>
- "a habitation" (from oiketer, "an inhabitant," and oikos, "a
- dwelling"), is used in Jude 1:6, of the heavenly region
- appointed by God as the dwelling place of angeles; in 2 Cor.
- 5:2, RV, "habitation," AV, "house," figuratively of the
- spiritual bodies of believers when raised or changed at the
- return of the Lord. See HOUSE.
-
- <2,,2732,katoiketerion>
- (kata, "down," used intensively, and No. 1), implying more
- permanency than No. 1, is used in Eph. 2:22 of the church as the

-
- $$T0001277
- \Hades\
- <1,,86,hades>
- "the region of departed spirits of the lost" (but including the
- blessed dead in periods preceding the ascension of Christ). It
- has been thought by some that the word etymologically meant "the
- unseen" (from a, negative, and eido, "to see"), but this
- derivation is questionable; a more probable derivation is from
- hado, signifying "all-receiving." It corresponds to "Sheol" in
- the OT. In the AV of the OT and NT; it has been unhappily
- rendered "hell," e.g., Ps. 16:10; or "the grave," e.g., Gen.
- 37:35; or "the pit," Num. 16:30,33; in the NT the revisers have
- always used the rendering "hades;" in the OT, they have not been
- uniform in the translation, e.g. in Isa. 14:15 "hell" (marg.,
- "Sheol"); usually they have "Sheol" in the text and "the grave"
- in the margin. It never denotes the grave, nor is the permanent
- region of the lost; in point of time it is, for such,
- intermediate between decease and the doom of Gehenna. For the
- condition, see Luke 16:23-31.
-
- The word is used four times in the Gospels, and always
- by the Lord, Matt. 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; it is used
- with reference to the soul of Christ, Acts 2:27,31; Christ
- declares that He has the keys of it, Rev. 1:18; in Rev. 6:8 it
- is personified, with the signification of the temporary destiny
- of the doomed; it is to give up those who are therein, Rev.
- 20:13, and is to be cast into the lake of fire, ver. 14.
-
- Note: In 1 Cor. 15:55 the most authentic mss. have
- thanatos, "death," in the 2nd part of the verse, instead of
- "hades," which the AV wrongly renders "grave" ("hell," in the
- marg.).
-
- $$T0001278
- \Hail (Noun)\
- <1,,5464,chalaza>
- akin to chalao, "to let loose, let fall," is always used as an
- instrument of Divine judgment, and is found in the NT in Rev.
- 8:7; 11:19; 16:21.
-
- $$T0001279
- \Hail (Verb)\
- <1,,5463,chairo>
- "to rejoice," is used in the imperative mood, (a) as a
- salutation, only in the Gospels; in this respect it is rendered
- simply "hail," in mockery of Christ, Matt. 26:49; 27:29; Mark
- 15:18; John 19:3; (b) as a greeting, by the angel Gabriel to
- Mary, Luke 1:28, and, in the plural, by the Lord to the

- \Hair\
- <A-1,Noun,2359,thrix>
- denotes the "hair," whether of beast, as of the camel's "hair"
- which formed the raiment of John the Baptist, Matt. 3:4; Mark
- 1:6; or of man. Regarding the latter (a) it is used to signify
- the minutest detail, as that which illustrates the exceeding
- care and protection bestowed by God upon His children, Matt.
- 10:30; Luke 12:7; 21:18; Acts 27:34; (b) as the Jews swore by
- the "hair," the Lord used the natural inability to make one
- "hair" white or black, as one of the reasons for abstinence from
- oaths, Matt. 5:36; (c) while long "hair" is a glory to a woman
- (see B), and to wear it loose or dishevelled is a dishonor, yet
- the woman who wiped Christ's feet with her "hair" (in place of
- the towel which Simon the Pharisee omitted to provide), despised
- the shame in her penitent devotion to the Lord (slaves were
- accustomed to wipe their masters' feet), Luke 7:38,44 (RV,
- "hair"); see also John 11:2; 12:3; (d) the dazzling whiteness of
- the head and "hair" of the Son of Man in the vision of Rev. 1:14
- is suggestive of the holiness and wisdom of "the Ancient of
- Days;" (e) the long "hair" of the spirit-beings described as
- locusts in Rev. 9:8 is perhaps indicative of their subjection of
- their satanic master (cp. 1 Cor. 11:10, RV); (f) Christian women
- are exhorted to refrain from adorning their "hair" for outward
- show, 1 Pet. 3:3.
-
- Note: Goat's hair was used in tentmaking, as, e.g., in
- the case of Paul's occupation, Acts 18:3; the haircloth of
- Cilicia, his native province, was noted, being known in commerce
- as cilicium.
-
- <A-2,Noun,2864,kome>
- is used only of "human hair," but not in the NT of the
- ornamental. The word is found in 1 Cor. 11:15, where the context
- shows that the "covering" provided in the long "hair" of the
- woman is as a veil, a sign of subjection to authority, as
- indicated in the headships spoken of in 1 Cor. 11:1-10.
-
- <B-1,Verb,2863,komao>
- signifies "to let the hair grow long, to wear long hair," a
- glory to a woman, a dishonor to a man (as taught by nature), 1
- Cor. 11:14,15.
-
- <C-1,Adjective,5155,trichinos>
- akin to A, No. 1, signifies "hairy, made of hair," Rev. 6:12,

- hall" in John 18:28,33; 19:9; Acts 23:35 (RV, "palace," in each

- PALACE.

- \Hallelujah\
- <1,,239,hallelouia>

- Psalms, usually at the beginning, e.g., Ps. 111; 112, or the
- end, e.g., Ps. 104; 105, or both, e.g., Ps. 106; 135 (where it
- is also used in ver. 3), Ps. 146; 147; 148; 149; 150. In the NT
- it is found in Rev. 19:1,3,4,6, as the keynote in the song of
- the great multitude in heaven. "Alleluia," without the initial
- "H," is a misspelling.
-
- $$T0001287

- hand of," "at the hand of," etc., to signify "by the agency of,"
- Acts 5:12; 7:35; 17:25; 14:3; Gal. 3:19 (cp. Lev. 26:46); Rev.
- 19:2; (b) metaphorically, for the power of God, e.g., Luke 1:66;

- \Hand (at hand)\
- <A-1,Adverb,1451,engus>
- "near, nigh," frequently rendered "at hand," is used (a) of
- place, e.g., of the Lord's sepulchre, John 19:42, "nigh at
- hand;" (b) of time, e.g., Matt. 26:18; Luke 21:30,31, RV,
- "nigh," AV, "nigh at hand;" in Phil. 4:5, "the Lord is at hand,"
- it is possible to regard the meaning as that either of (a) or
- (b); the following reasons may point to (b): (1) the subject of
- the preceding context has been the return of Christ, 3:20,21;
- (2) the phrase is a translation of the Aramaic "Maranatha," 1
- Cor. 16:22, a Christian watchword, and the use of the title "the
- Lord" is appropriate; (3) the similar use of the adverb in Rev.
- 1:3; 22:10; (4) the similar use of the corresponding verb (see
- B) in Rom. 13:12; Heb. 10:25, "drawing nigh," RV; Jas. 5:8; cp.
- 1 Pet. 4:7. See NEAR, NIGH, READY.
-
- <B-1,Verb,1448,engizo>
- See APPROACH, A.
-
- Notes: (1) In 2 Thess. 2:2, AV, the verb enistemi, "to
- be present" (en, "in," histemi, "to cause to stand"), is wrongly
- translated "is at hand;" the RV correctly renders it, "is (now)
- present;" the Apostle is counteracting the error of the
- supposition that "the Day of the Lord" (RV), a period of Divine
- and retributive judgments upon the world, had already begun.
-
- (2) In 2 Tim. 4:6, AV, the verb ephistemi, "to stand by,
- to come to or upon" (epi, "upon," histemi, "to make to stand"),
- is rendered "is at hand," of the Apostle's departure from this
- life; the RV "is come" represent the vivid force of the
- statement, expressing suddenness or imminence.

- heavenly and spiritual tabernacle, Heb. 9:11; of the holy place
- in the earthly tabernacle, Heb. 9:24; of circumcision, Eph.

- $$T0001298
- \Handle\
- <1,,5584,pselaphao>
- "to feel, touch, handle," is rendered by the latter verb in Luke
- 24:39, in the Lord's invitation to the disciples to accept the
- evidence of His resurrection in His being bodily in their midst;
- in 1 John 1:1, in the Apostle's testimony (against the gnostic
- error that Christ had been merely a phantom) that he and his
- fellow Apostles had handled Him. See FEEL.
-
- <2,,2345,thingano>
- signifies (a) "to touch, to handle" (though "to handle" is
- rather stronger than the actual significance compared with No
- 1). In Col. 2:21 the RV renders it "touch," and the first verb
- (hapto, "to lay hold of") "handle," i.e., "handle not, nor
- taste, nor touch;" "touch" is the appropriate rendering; in Heb.
- 12:20 it is said of a beast's touching Mount Sinai; (b) "to
- touch by way of injuring," Heb. 11:28. See TOUCH. In the Sept.,
- Exod. 19:12.
-
- Note: The shortened form found in the passages mentioned
- is an aorist (or point) tense of the verb.
-
- <3,,1389,doloo>
- "to corrupt," is used in 2 Cor. 4:2, "handling (the Word of God)
- deceitfully," in the sense of using guile (dolos); the meaning

- 2:17).
-
- <4,,818,antimazo>

- DISHONOR.
-
- <5,,3718,orthotomeo>

- "to cut"), is used metaphorically in 2 Tim. 2:15, of "handling
- aright (the word of truth)," RV (AV, "rightly dividing"). The
- stress is on orthos; the Word of God is to be "handled" strictly
- along the lines of its teaching. If the metaphor is taken from
- plowing, cutting a straight furrow, the word would express a
- careful cultivation, the Word of God viewed as ground designed
- to give the best results from its ministry and in the life. See
- DIVIDE. In the Sept., in Prov. 3:6; 11:5, the knowledge of God's
- wisdom and the just dealing of the upright are enjoined as
- producing a straight walk in the life.
