πυρόω fut. πυρώσω LXX; 1 aor. ἐπύρωσα LXX. Pass.: 1 aor. ἐπυρώθην; pf. ptc. πεπυρωμένος (Pind. et al.; ins, LXX, Philo) prim. as act. ‘burn someth. with fire’, in our lit. only pass. (Ps.-Pla., Axioch. 372a of torments in Tartarus; Philo).

① to cause to be on fire, burn

ⓐ lit., of the fiery end of the world οὐρανοὶ πυρούμενοι λυθήσονται the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved 2 Pt 3:12. In imagery τὰ βέλη τὰ πεπυρωμένα (s. βέλος) Eph 6:16 (s. Cicero, Tusc. Disp. 5, 27, 76).

ⓑ fig. (act. Cornutus 25 p. 47, 11 πυροῦν τ. ψυχάς; pass., Horapollo 1, 22 ἡ καρδία πυροῦται) burn, be inflamed w. sympathy, readiness to aid, or indignation 2 Cor 11:29 (cp. 2 Macc 4:38; 10:35; 14:45; 3 Macc 4:2; Philo, Leg. All. 1, 84 πεπύρωται ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ θεοῦ. So prob. also the Jewish-Gk. ins fr. Tell el Yehudieh ed. Ltzm. [ZNW 22, 1923, 282] 18, 5 πατὴρ καὶ μήτηρ οἱ πυρώμενοι=‘father and mother, who are burning w. grief’; cp. Sb 6646; 6659; Ltzm. thinks of the burning of the dead and refers to 20, 4, but there the act. is used); burn with sexual desire 1 Cor 7:9 (on the topic cp.Hos 7:4; Sir 23:17; for poetic expression of ardent desire s. Anacreontea 11, 15 Preis.: Ἔρως εὐθέως με πύρωσον; cp. Sappho Fgm. 36 and 48; a common theme in magical pap, e.g. PGM 4, 2931 βάλε πυρσὸν ἔρωτα; 36, 111; 200 πυρουμένη; PBerlin 9909, 48; cp. Plut., Mor. 138f; 752d; 753a et al.—SGordon, ET 21, 1910, 478f).

② to cause to be very hot, make red hot, cause to glow, heat thoroughly (Lucian, Alex. 21 βελόνην) of metals πεπυρωμένον σίδηρον APt 13:28. By such heating precious metals are tested and refined (Job 22:25; Ps 11:7; 65:10; Pr 10:20) Rv 1:15 (πεπυρωμένης is one of the linguistic peculiarities of Rv [s. καὶ ἔχων which follows soon thereafter]. All the variant readings [-μένῳ,-μένοι] here are simply efforts at improvement; on Aramaic connection s. Mussies 98f. FRehkopf, JJeremias Festschr. ’70, 214–19); 3:18; MPol 15:2.—Hv 4, 3, 4 makes a comparison betw. the refining influence of fire on metals and the effect that fiery trials have in removing impurities from Christians.—DELG s.v. πύρ.
