- \Unlifted\
- <1,,343,anakalupto>
- "to uncover, unveil," used in 2 Cor. 3:14 with the negative me,
- "not," is rendered "unlifted," RV, AV, "untaken away" (a
- paraphrase rather than translation); the RV marg., "remaineth,
- it not being revealed that it is done away," is not to be
- preferred. The best rendering seems to be, "the veil remains
- unlifted (for it is in Christ that it is done away)." Judaism
- does not recognize the vanishing of the glory of the Law as a
- means of life, under God's grace in Christ. In 2 Cor. 3:18 the
- RV, "unveiled (face)" (AV, "open"), continues the metaphor of
- the veil (2 Cor. 3:13-17), referring to hindrances to the
- perception of spiritual realities, hindrances removed in the
- unveiling.

- committed against it.
-

- to ichneuo, "to trace out" (ichnos, "a footprint, a track"), is

- \Unveiled\
- <1,,177,akatakaluptos>
- "uncovered" (a, negative, katakalupto, "to cover"), is used in 1
- Cor. 11:5,13, RV, "unveiled," with reference to the injunction
- forbidding women to be "unveiled" in a church gathering.
- Whatever the character of the covering, it is to be on her head
- as "a sign of authority" (1 Cor. 11:10), RV, the meaning of
- which is indicated in 1 Cor. 11:3 in the matter of headships,
- and the reasons for which are given in 1 Cor. 11:7-9, and in the
- phrase "because of the angels," intimating their witness of, and
- interest in, that which betokens the headship of Christ. The
- injunctions were neither Jewish, which required men to be veiled
- in prayer, nor Greek, by which men and women were alike
- "unveiled." The Apostle's instructions were "the commandment of
- the Lord" (1 Cor. 14:37) and were for all the churches (1 Cor.
- 14:33,34).

- NECESSITY, NEED.
-
- <3,,5540,chresis>
- "use" (akin to chraomai, "to use"), occurs in Rom. 1:26,27.
-
- Notes: (1) In 2 Tim. 2:21, the adjective euchrestos,
- "useful, serviceable" (eu, "well," chraomai, "to use"), is
- translated "meet for ... use;" in 2 Tim. 4:11, "useful," RV,
- (AV, "profitable"); in Philem. 1:11, "profitable." See
- PROFITABLE, B, No. 2. (2) In 1 Cor. 8:7 the best texts have the

- idol)," i.e., by being associated. See CUSTOM. In the Sept.,
- Prov. 31:13. Contrast achrestos, "unprofitable," Philem. 1:11.
-
- $$T0003198
- \Use (Verb)\
- <1,,5531,chraomai>
- from chre, "it is necessary," denotes (a) "to use," Acts 27:17;
- 1 Cor. 7:21, where "use it rather" means "use your bondservice
- rather;" 1 Cor. 7:31, where "they that use (this world)" is
- followed by the strengthened form katachraomai, rendered
- "abusing," or "using to the full" (RV, marg.); 1 Cor. 9:12,15; 2
- Cor. 1:17; 3:12; 13:10; 1 Tim. 1:8, of "using" the Law lawfully,
- i.e., agreeably to its designs; 1 Tim. 5:23; (b) "deal with,"
- Acts 27:3. See ENTREAT (to treat). Cp. the Active chrao (or
- kichremi), "to lend," Luke 11:5. See LEND.
-
- <2,,2192,echo>
- "to have," is rendered "using" in 1 Pet. 2:16 (marg., "having");
- see HAVE.
-
- <3,,390,anastrepho>
- chiefly denotes "to behave, to live in a certain manner,"
- rendered "(were so) used" in Heb. 10:33 (Passive Voice); the
- verb, however, does not mean "to treat or use;" here it has the
- significance of "living amidst sufferings, reproaches," etc. See
- ABIDE, BEHAVE, LIVE, OVERTHROW, PASS, RETURN.
-
- Notes: (1) In Acts 19:19, AV, prasso, "to practice"
- (RV), is rendered "used." (2) For Heb. 5:13, AV, "useth (milk),"
- see PARTAKE, B, No. 3. (3). In 1 Thess. 2:5, "were we found
- using" is the rendering of the verb ginomai, "to become," with
- the preposition en, "in," governing the noun, "words (or speech)
- [of flattery];" this idiomatic phrase signifies "to be engaged
- in, to resort to." A rendering close to the meaning of the Greek
- is "for neither at any time did we fall into the use of
- flattering speech;" cp. 1 Tim. 2:14, "fallen into
- transgression." (4) "To use" is combined in Eng. with other
- words, e.g., DECEIT, DESPITEFULLY, HOSPITALITY, REPETITIONS.
-
- $$T0003199
- \Using\
- <1,,671,apochresis>
- a strengthened form of chresis, "a using," and signifying "a
- misuse" (akin to apochraomai, "to use to the full, abuse"), is
- translated "using" in Col. 2:22; the clause may be rendered "by
- their using up." "The unusual word was chosen for its
- expressiveness; the chresis here was an apochresis; the things
- could not be used without rendering them unfit for further use"
- (Lightfoot).
