2 βίος
βίος, ου, ὁ (s. βιόω; Hom.+; Hermas prefers ζωή) ‘life’ in its appearance and manifestations freq. distinguished from ζωή, the condition of being alive, cp. Plotin. 3, 7, 11, 4; Schmidt, Syn. 327–30. Although there is freq. overlapping in usage, βίος may be said to denote the manner in which one’s ζωή finds expression (cp. Plut., Mor. 114d τῆς ζωῆς βίος), and the latter term may be used to connote quality of existence as such (cp. IPriene 105, 10 the birth of Augustus marked the ‘beginning of life (βίος) and living (ζωή)’; s. also line 49; cp. Od. 15, 491; X. Mem. 3, 3, 11 and Cass. Dio 69, 19 ‘Here lies Similis, alive [βιόω] for a number of years, but really living [ζάω] for seven’.). Hence, as the semantic history shows, the loss of βίος need not terminate ζωή (q.v.).① life and activity associated w. it, life (Hdt. 6, 109, 3; cp. Aeschyl., Prom. 537 al.; pap, LXX) 2 Cl 1:6. χρόνος τοῦ βίου time of life 1 Pt 4:3 v.l. εἰσέρχεσθαι εἰς τὸν β. come to life Dg 1 of a new way of living. ἀποτάσσεσθαι τῷ βίῳ bid farewell to life (as the world knows it) IPhld 11:1; ὁ νῦν β. the present life (Ael. Aristid. 30, 20 K.=10 p. 121 D.) 2 Cl 20:2 and its ἡδοναί pleasures (cp. Jos., Ant. 4, 143) Lk 8:14; IRo 7:3. Contrasted w. it is life beyond the grave μέλλων β.

Ap. 2, 218 β. ἀμείνων) IEph 9:2 (ὅλον cj.). αἱ τ. βίου πραγματεῖαι the affairs of everyday life 2 Ti 2:4. W. qualifying terms denoting personal conduct (Himerius, Or. 41 [=Or. 7], 1 ἥμερος β.; BGU 372 II, 2 ἀνδράσι πονηρὸν καὶ λῃστρικὸν βίον ποιουμένοις; Wsd 4:9; 5:4; 4 Macc 1:15; 7:7; 8:8 Ἑλληνικὸς β.) ἄνομος β.
