instrumental; what was of one's own mere will, with the
speciousness of humility, would mean his being robbed of his

for"); Heb. 9:28, RV (AV, "look for"), here "them that wait"
represents believers in general, not a section of them; 1 Pet.
3:20 (in the best texts; some have No. 1). See LOOK (for), Note
(1).

<3,,4327,prosdechomai>
"to look for" with a view to favorable reception, is rendered
"to wait for" in Mark 15:43; Luke 2:25; 12:36; 23:51. See LOOK
(for), No. 2.

<4,,4328,prosdokao>
"to await," is rendered "to wait for" in Luke 1:21; 8:40; Acts

<5,,362,anameno>
"to wait for" (ana, "up," used intensively, and meno, "to
abide"), is used in 1 Thess. 1:10, of "waiting" for the Son of
God from heaven; the word carries with it the suggestion of
"waiting" with patience and confident expectancy.

"to await an event," is used in Acts 1:4, of "waiting" for the
Holy Spirit, "the promise of the Father." In the Sept., Gen.
49:18.

$$T0003266
\Wake\
<1,,1127,gregoreo>
translated "wake" in 1 Thess. 5:10, is rendered "watch" in the
RV marg., as in the text in 1 Thess. 5:6, and the RV in the
twenty-one other places in which it occurs in the NT (save 1
Pet. 5:8, "be watchful"). It is not used in the metaphorical
sense of "to be alive;" here it is set in contrast with
katheudo, "to sleep," which is never used by the Apostle with
the meaning "to be dead" (it has this meaning only in the case
of Jairus' daughter). Accordingly the meaning here is that of
vigilance and expectancy as contrasted with laxity and
indifference. All believers will live together with Christ from
the time of the Rapture described in ch. 4; for all have
spiritual life now, though their spiritual condition and
attainment vary considerably. Those who are lax and fail to be
watchful will suffer loss (1 Cor. 3:15; 9:27; 2 Cor. 5:10,
e.g.), but the Apostle is not here dealing with that aspect of
the subject. What he does make clear is that the Rapture of
believers at the second coming of Christ will depend solely on
the death of Christ for them, and not upon their spiritual
condition. The Rapture is not a matter of reward, but of
salvation. See WATCH.

$$T0003267
\Walk\
<1,,4043,peripateo>
is used (a) physically, in the Synoptic Gospels (except Mark

"signifying the whole round of the activities of the individual
life, whether of the unregenerate, Eph. 4:17, or of the
believer, 1 Cor. 7:17; Col. 2:6. It is applied to the observance
of religious ordinances, Acts 21:21; Heb. 13:9, marg., as well
as to moral conduct. The Christian is to walk in newness of
life, Rom. 6:4, after the spirit, Rom. 8:4, in honesty, Rom.
13:13, by faith, 2 Cor. 5:7, in good works, Eph. 2:10, in love,
Eph. 5:2, in wisdom, Col. 4:5, in truth, 2 John 1:4, after the
commandments of the Lord, 2 John 1:6. And, negatively, not after
the flesh, Rom. 8:4; not after the manner of men, 1 Cor. 3:3;
not in craftiness, 2 Cor. 4:2; not by sight, 2 Thess. 5:7; not
in the vanity of the mind, Eph. 4:17; not disorderly, 2 Thess.

<4,,4748,stoicheo>
from stoichos, "a row," signifies "to walk in line," and is used

more especially of the individual walk); in Acts 21:24, it is
translated "walkest orderly;" in Rom. 4:12, "walk (in ...
steps);" in Gal. 5:25 it is used of walking "by the Spirit," RV,
in an exhortation to keep step with one another in submission of
heart to the Holy Spirit, and therefore of keeping step with
Christ, the great means of unity and harmony in a church
(contrast No. 1 in Gal. 5:16; ver. 25 begins a new section which
extends to 6:10); in Gal. 6:16 it is used of walking by the rule
expressed in Gal. 6:14,15; in Phil. 3:16 the reference is to the
course pursued by the believer who makes "the prize of the high
calling" the object of his ambition. In the Sept., Eccl. 11:6.

23:3, "(thou whited) wall."

(twice, figuratively in 2nd clause),12,14 (twice); in 1 Tim.
5:10, including the figurative sense; in the Middle Voice, to
wash oneself, Matt. 6:17; 15:2; Mark 7:3; John 9:7,11,15; 13:10.
For the corresponding noun see BASON.

<2,,633,apanipto>
"to wash off," is used in the Middle Voice, in Matt. 27:24.

<3,,3068,louo>
signifies "to bathe, to wash the body," (a) Active Voice, Acts
9:37; 16:33; (b) Passive Voice, John 13:10, RV, "bathed" (AV,
"washed"); Heb. 10:22, lit., "having been washed as to the
body," metaphorical of the effect of the Word of God upon the
activities to the believer; (c) Middle Voice, 2 Pet. 2:22. Some
inferior mss. have it instead of luo, "to loose," in Rev. 1:5
(see RV).

<4,,628,apolouo>
"to wash off or away," is used in the Middle Voice,
metaphorically, "to wash oneself," in Acts 22:16, where the
command to Saul of Tarsus to "wash away" his sins indicates that
by his public confession, he would testify to the removal of his
sins, and to the complete change from his past life; this
"washing away" was not in itself the actual remission of his
sins, which had taken place at his conversion; the Middle Voice
implies his own particular interest in the act (as with the
preceding verb "baptize," lit., "baptize thyself," i.e., "get
thyself baptized"); the aorist tenses mark the decisiveness of
the acts; in 1 Cor. 6:11, lit., "ye washed yourselves clean;"
here the Middle Voice (rendered in the Passive in AV and RV,
which do not distinguish between this and the next two Passives;
see RV marg.) again indicates that the converts at Corinth, by
their obedience to the faith, voluntarily gave testimony to the
complete spiritual change Divinely wrought in them. In the
Sept., Job 9:30.

<5,,4150,pluno>
is used of "washing inanimate objects," e.g., "nets," Luke 5:2
(some texts have apopluno); of "garments," figuratively, Rev.
7:14; 22:14 (in the best texts; the AV translates those which
have the verb poieo, "to do," followed by tas entolas autou,
"His commandments").

<6,,4472,rhantizo>
"to sprinkle," is used in the Middle Voice in Mark 7:4, in some
ancient texts, of the acts of the Pharisees in their assiduous
attention to the cleansing of themselves after coming from the
market place (some texts have baptizo here). See SPRINKLE.

<7,,1026,brecho>
"to wet," is translated "to wash" in Luke 7:38,44, AV; the RV,
"to wet" and "hath wetted," gives the correct rendering. See
RAIN, B.

<8,,907,baptizo>
is rendered "washed" in Luke 11:38. See BAPTIZE.

        Note: With regard to Nos. 1, 3, 5, the Sept. of Lev.

whole body, No. 5 of the garments.

$$T0003285
\Water (Noun and Verb) Watering, Waterless\
<A-1,Noun,5204,hudor>
whence Eng. prefix, "hydro-," is used (a) of the natural
element, frequently in the Gospels; in the plural especially in
the Apocalypse; elsewhere, e.g., Heb. 9:19; Jas. 3:12; in 1 John
5:6, that Christ "came by water and blood," may refer either (1)
to the elements that flowed from His side on the Cross after His
Death, or, in view of the order of the words and the
prepositions here used, (2) to His baptism in Jordan and His
Death on the Cross. As to (1), the "water" would symbolize the
moral and practical cleansing effected by the removal of
defilement by our taking heed to the Word of God in heart, life
and habit; cp. Lev. 14, as to the cleansing of the leper. As to
(2), Jesus the Son of God came on His mission by, or through,
"water" and blood, namely, at His baptism, when He publicly
entered upon His mission and was declared to be the Son of God
by the witness of the Father, and at the Cross, when He publicly
closed His witness; the Apostle's statement thus counteracts the
doctrine of the Gnostics that the Divine Logos united Himself
with the Man Jesus at His baptism, and left him at Gethsemane.
On the contrary, He who was baptized and He who was crucified
was the Son of God throughout in His combined Deity and
humanity.

        The word "water" is used symbolically in John 3:5,
either (1) of the Word of God, as in 1 Pet. 1:23 (cp. the
symbolic use in Eph. 5:26), or, in view of the preposition ek,
"out of," (2) of the truth conveyed by baptism, this being the
expression, not the medium, the symbol, not the cause, of the
believer's identification with Christ in His death, burial and
resurrection. So the New Birth is, in one sense, the setting
aside of all that the believer was according to the flesh, for
it is evident that there must be an entirely new beginning. Some
regard the kai, "and," in John 3:5, as epexegetic, == "even," in
which case the "water" would be emblematic of the Spirit, as in
John 7:38 (cp. John 4:10,14), but not in 1 John 5:8, where the
Spirit and the "water" are distinguished. "The water of life,"
Rev. 21:6; 22:1,17, is emblematic of the maintenance of
spiritual life in perpetuity. In Rev. 17:1 the "waters" are
symbolic of nations, peoples, etc.

        Note: For potamos, rendered "waters" in 2 Cor. 11:26,
see RIVER.

<B-1,Verb,4222,potizo>
"to give to drink," is used (a) naturally in Luke 13:15,
