the+last+word

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `blue, dark color, lurid, bloodshot' (Hp., Arist., Nic.; also Th. a. com.?; s. bel.)

Other forms: Beside it πελιτνός, by gramm. identified as Att., so to be restored in Th. 2, 49, Alex. 110, 17 ?

Derivatives: Enlarged πελιδν-ήεις (Marc. Sid.), - αῖος (Nonn.). From it - ότης f. `blue stain' (Aret., Gal.), - όομαι `to become blue etc.' (Hp., Arist.) with - ωμα, - ωσις (medic.). -- Also πελιός `id.' (Hp., D., Thphr., Nic. a.o.; on the meaning Capelle RhM 101, 38ff.) with πελι-ώδης (sch.), - ότης f. (medic.). - όομαι (Hellanic., Hp., LXX), from where - ωσις, - ωμα (medic., sch.), - αίνομαι (Hp.); πελλος ( πέλλος?) `id.' (S. Fr.?, Arist., Theoc. a.o.) with -ᾱ̃ς m. `an old person, very old man' (Hdn., H.). With γ-enlargement πελιγόνες m. pl. = γέροντες (Lac., Massal.), = οἱ ἐν τιμαῖς (Maced.; after Str. 7 Fr. 2); πελιγᾶνες οἱ ἔνδοξοι. παρὰ δε Σύροις οἱ βουλευταί H. -- Also Πέλ-οψ (Kretschmer Glotta 27, 5 a. 28, 236f.)?; quite uncertain.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Built like ὀπιδνός, ἀλαπαδνός, ὀλοφυδνός a.o., either as enlargement of πελιός or as transformation of the older πελιτνός, which has the same orig. only fem. suffix combination as Skt. páliknī f. from * pali-t-n-ī `grey' beside m. pali-t-á- (= Gr. *πελιτός; from there πελιτ-νός after the fem.?). If one sparates the t-suffix (cf. Skt. hári-, hári-t-a- `greenyellow, sallow'; s. χλόη, χλωρός) we arrive at an i-stem, which seems also retained in πελιός (prob. for *πελι-Ϝό-ς; cf. on πολιός), πελι-γόνες, - γᾶνες, perhaps also in πελλός (if from *πελι̯ός). But the last can also stand for *πελ-νός, for which esp. πιλνόν φαιόν H. (with restored - λν-) seems to speak(?). Still a different formation is shown by πέλεια, perh. also πελαργός (?; s. vv.). -- WP. 2, 53f., Pok. 804f., W.-Hofmann s. palleō w. rich lit. On the stemformation (partly hypothetical) Specht Ursprung 117, 187, 194. -- Cf. πολιός w. further connections. The forms in - δνος and those with - γ- rather suggest a Pre-Greek word (note also the deviant πιλνός).

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `Sirene(s)', mythical destructive bird-like creatures (woman-birds), who, in the Od., attract those navigating by with their beautiful chant and kill them (Od.; Nilsson Gr. Rel. I² 228f.), also as des. of various seductive women and creatures (Alcm., E., Aeschin. a.o.); as des. of a wild kind of bees (Arist. a.o.; Gil Fernández Nombres de insectos 214f.).

Other forms: (Att. vase-inscr. Σιρ-; s. Kretschmer Glotta 10, 61 f. w. lit.), often pl. - ῆνες, gen. du. - ήνοιιν (Od.). Byforms Σειρην-ίδες (Dor. Σηρην-) pl. (Alcm. a.o.), - άων gen. pl. (Epich. 123, verse-end).

Dialectal forms: As 1. member in Myc. se-re-mo-ka-ra-o-re, - a-pi (Mühlestein Glotta 36,152ff.)??; wellfounded doubts by Risch Studi Micenei (Roma 1966) 1, 53 ff. Aura Jorro 255.

Derivatives: Σειρήν(ε)ιος `sirene-like' (LXX, Hld.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: As the orig. (appellative) meaning is unknown, only hypotheses are possible. Purely formal (cf. Schwyzer 487) one should connect either σειρά ("the one who grasps, who snares") or Σείριος (as personification of the midday-blaze and the midday-magic), s. Solmsen Wortforsch. 126ff. (w. older lit.; to this Güntert Kalypso 174 f.), where the last idea is preferred. Acc. to others (Brandenstein Kratylos 6, 169 with Tomaschek, Lagercrantz Eranos 17, 101 ff. with diff. interpretations) Thrac.-Phryg.

ἔτης m.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `clansman' (Hom., only plur.), `citizen, private' (El., Dor., also A. and E.); on the meaning DELG.

Dialectal forms: dor. ἔτας, el. Ϝέτας

Compounds: none

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [882] *su̯e-t- `own...'

Etymology: Beside Ϝέτᾱς Slavic has a word for `relative married in, who gains a bride', e. g. ORuss. svatъ, IE *su̯ōtos; in Baltic a word for `guest', Lith. svẽčas, IE *su̯eti̯os; from the reflexive *su̯e, Gr. Ϝ(h)ε (s. ἕ) with t-suffix, IE *su̯e-t-; on the Greek anlaut with psilosis and loss of the digamma cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 125, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 150 and 185. So prop. "own", i. e. `belonging to the (own) clan, private; in the last sense cf. ἑ-κάς `far', prop. `for himself' (thus also Lith. svẽčias because of svẽtimas, Latv. sweschs `foreign'?; Schulze KZ 40, 417 = Kl. Schr. 73). - On the formation of ἔτης s. Schwyzer 500, Chantraine Formation 312 and Bechtel Lex.; further Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. svát. Wrong Fay AmJPh 28, 413f.; cf.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: κακός, σκληρός, κλῆρος H.; in the last meaning also Cratin. 194 and Ar. Fr. 660 (s. Kock ad loc.);

Derivatives: διακαυνιάσαι = διακληρῶσαι `assign by lot' (Ar. Pax 1081).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: In the meaning κακός since Fick 1, 375 connected with a Germ.-Baltic word for `humble, shame etc.', e. g. Goth. hauns `lowly, humble', NHG Hohn, Latv. kàuns `shame, contumely'. The text is however very uncertain; the form σκληρός (in this meaning by Schulze KZ 29, 270 n. I = Kl. Schr. 329 n. 1 to καίω) looks like a dittography (with σ- from κακός) of the following κλῆρος. - On καυνός = κλῆρος a very doubtful hypothesis by Bezzenberger BB 27, 171 n. 3 (s. Bq Add. et Corr.). Mayer Glotta 32, 75 n. 1 compares the Illyrian name Ceunus, -a. - Nothing is clear. DELG splits the word in two, but this too is not clear to me. Cf. Fur. 237

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to look around, to glance at smth.' (Il.).

Other forms: Aor. παπτῆναι (- ᾶναι Pi.), fut. - ανέω.

Compounds: Rarely w. ἀπο-, δια-, περι-.

Derivatives: Besides πεπτήνας περιβλεψάμενος H. and, from cross with παμφαλώμενος (s. παμφαλάω), παπταλώ-μενος (Lyc.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Intensive reduplicated formation πα-πτ-αίνω (to which analog. - ανέω, - ῆναι; Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 375). Since long (Legerlotz KZ 8, 417) connected with some Cypriot H.glosses: ἰμπάταον ἔμβλεψον. Πάφιοι, ἰνκαπάταον ἐγκατάβλεψον. The here found aor. πατά-σαι may also be seen in καπατάς καθορῶν. παρὰ Εὔκλῳ H. (cod. κάπατας καθαρόν... Εὑηλῶν), if contracted from *πατάσας (Hoffmann Dial. 1, 118); diff. Bechtel Lex. 270 (with M. Schmidt): from pres. *πάτᾱμι. The form ἀνεπάταξεν ἐξ ὕπνου ἀνέβλεψεν, which stands beside it, one is prepared to consider as, `elevate (the eyes)' and to connect with πατάσσω; here further καπατᾶ κατακόψεις. Πάφιοι H., prob. with Hoffmann l.c. from *πατά-ω `beat' (in πάτα-γος, πατά-σσω). Is also πατά-σαι `glance', and finally also πα-πτ-αίνω semantiscally to be connected? Or the last to πέτομαι from fluttering around of the look? - The word can hardly be IE.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to throw, to hurl, to thrust, to bolt' (Pi., IA.).

Other forms: also ῥιπτέω (IA. since ν 78), iterative pret. ῥίπτασκον (Hom., Hes. Sc., - εσκον Nic. Fr.), fut. ῥίψω, aor. ῥῖψαι (Il.), pass. ῥιφθῆναι, ῥῐφῆναι (Att.) with fut. ῥιφ-θήσομαι (S.), - ήσομαι (LXX), perf. midd. ἔρρῑμμαι (Orac. ap. Hdt., E., Ar.), ῥερῖφθαι (Pi.; Schwyzer 649), act. ἔρρῑφα (Lys.).

Compounds: Often w. prefix, e.g. ἁπο-, ἀνα-, ἐν-, δια-. As 1. member e.g. in ῥίψ-ασπις, - ιδος `throwing the shield away, coward' (Ar., Pl.), - άσπιδος `id.' (Eup.); cf. Sommer Nominalkomp. 93.

Derivatives: 1. ῥῑπή f. `throw, thrust, gust of wind, sway, press, heavy movement' (ep. Il.) with ῥιπίζω ( δια-, ἐκ- a.o.) `to cause a gust of wind, to kindle, to fan' (Hp., Ar., Arist.), `to hurl' (Hld.), from which ῥίπ-ισις, - ισμός, - ισμα `fanning' (late); from ῥιπή or as backformation ῥιπίς, - ίδος f. `fanner' (com., AP); on εὔ-ρῑπος s. v.; 2. ῥῖψις ( διά-, ἀπό- a.o.) f. `throwing, hurling' (Hp., Att., Arist.) with ( ἀπο-)ῥίψιμος `apt for throwing away' (late; Arbenz 92); also Ϝριψίδας (Mantinea; cf. Kretschmer Glotta 5,265); 3. ( δια-)ῥίμματα n. pl. `heavy movements, bolts' (Arion, X.); 4. ῥῐφή ( δια-, ἀπο-) f. `cast, throwing back and forth' (Pratin. Lyr., Lyc.; after ῥῐφῆναι); 5. ῥιπτός `cast, thrown' (S. Tr.), μητρό- ῥίπτω (Dosiad.); 6. ῥιπτικός `able for throwing' (Arist.-comm.); 7. frequent. ῥιπτάζω, - άσαι `to thrust back and forth' (ep. Ξ 257) with - ασμός (Hp., Plu.), - αστικός (M. Ant.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: The regular character of the formal system, which is built on an element Ϝρῑπ- (wit secondary shortening Ϝρῐπ-), shows that it is a (relatively) late creation. No convincing agreement outside Greek. The formally agreeing MLG wrīven `rub, wipe, scour, draw', MHG rīben `turn rubbing ' could be connected if we assume a basic meaning `turn' ("rub, throw with a turning movement"; cf. with the last Lat. torqueō); WP. 1, 280, Pok. 1159. A further analysis in u̯r-ī-p- "opens wide perspectives"; NHG werfen (prop. *'turn')not to ῥέπω, ῥέμβομαι, ῥάβδος)} s. vv.) etc. S. also ῥίψ. -- An IE *u̯r-iH-p- seems not a very probable structure; is the word Pre-Greek?

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `earth', by Erot., Str. a. o. explained with γῆ, in ἔραζε, Dor. ἔρασδε `on the earth' (Il.); here ἔρας γῆς H.

Compounds: The word is further supposed in compounds, e. g. as 2. member in πολύ-ηρος πολυάρουρος, πλούσιος H., as 1. member in ἐρεσι-μήτρην την γεωμετρίαν H.; on the last Hoffmann Festschr. Bezzenberger 82ff., who wants to read H. ἔρας γῆ and takes the word as neutr.; ἔραζε then from *ἔρασ-δε.

Derivatives: ἐράναι βωμοί H. (Schwyzer 489; very doubtful); denomin. verb in ἀπ-εράω (s. v.) a. o. - Cf. also on ἔνεροι.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [332] * h₁er- `earth'

Etymology: A general resemblance show a few Germanic and Celtic expressions for `earth etc.': OHG ero `earth', ONord. jǫrvi `sand(bank)', Welsh erw `field', all with u̯-suffix (old u-stem?); Goth. airÞa, ONord. jǫrđ, MIr. ert `earth'; all with t-suffix; unclear is Arm. erkir `earth'. - See Specht Ursprung 22; s. also Fraenkel Glotta 35, 79, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 247 w. n. 2. Further Pok. 332.

Meaning: `name of small crustaceans; see Thompson Fishes s. v.

Other forms: - ίδος (Anan., old com.), - ῖδος (middl. com.), also κουρίς, κωρίς (Epich., Sophr.)

Derivatives: καρίδιον (Arist.), καριδάριον (Anaxandr.); καριδόω ( τὸ σῶμα) `(move the body) like a καρίς, wriggle, twist about like a shrimp' (Anaxandr.)

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Acc. to Ath. 3, 106b ἀπὸ τοῦ κάρα τὸ πλεῖστον γὰρ μέρος τοῦ σώματος ἡ κεφαλη ἀπηνέγκατο, clearly a folketymology, which was accepted by Ehrlich KZ 39, 556f.: κᾱρίς from *καρσ-ίς, κουρίς, κωρίς aus *κορσίς; for the last basis in any case there is no support (cf. on κόρση). Rather to κάραβος as popular short form; also κουρίς, κωρίς must be popular formations. Bechtel, Gr. Dial. 1, 58 a. 2, 243f. assumed *καϜαρις resp. *κωϜαρις. Cf. Adjarian Mélanges Boisacq 1, 4, who considers καρίς together with Arm. karič `scorpion' as an Asiatic loan. The variation is not understood; DELG pleads for an association with κώρα, κούρα `girl' (hardly understandable). The variation may well point to a Pre-Greek word.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `fat pig, porker', also appositive to σῦς `id.' (Hom., Q.S., Thphr ap. Porph.) with σιαλ-ώδης `porker-like, fat' (Hp.), - οῦται τρέφεται H.; also (metaph.) `fat, grease' (Hp. Acut. [Sp.] 37; cf. bel.).

Other forms: Myc. sia₂ro.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Without convincing etymology. After Kretschmer Glotta 13, 132f. and 27, 24 cross of *σίς `swine' (cf. σίκα s. σῦς) and πίαλος, the last of which is however only a secondary byform of πιαλέος (s. πῖαρ). Other attempts: to Germ., e.g. OE Þwīnan `become weak, die away' (IE *tu̯ī- beside tā[i]- in τήκω; Lidén IF 19, 351 f.); to OCS ty-ti `become fat' (IE *tu-iă, -ī f. `fatness'; WP. 1, 706 asking; cf. Bechtel Lex. s.v.). Against the semant. possible identification of σίαλος `grease, lard' with σίαλον `spittle' (Lidén l.c.) speaks the primary σίαι πτύσαι; also the hapax σίαλος `grease' may have arisen through ellipsis of σίαλος `fat swine'; cf. e.g. Fr. veau `calb', also `calf (-calf-leather'). -- The word will almost certainly be Pre-Greek.

δευτερόπρωτος, ον a word of doubtful mng., only in the phrase ἐν σαββάτῳ δ. Lk 6:1 v.l.; many editions (but not Tdf.), following most mss., omit the word or put it in brackets. Even many ancient interpreters, understandably, could make nothing of it (Jerome, Epistle 52, 8, 2), and it may owe its origin solely to a scribal error. It might correspond (but s. M-M.) to δευτερέσχατος (=next to the last) and mean first but one (?) (cp.

ὅτῐ, [dialect] Ep. [full] ὅττῐ (both in Hom.): Conj., to introduce an objective clause,

A that, after Verbs of seeing or knowing, thinking or saying; in Hom. freq. strengthd. ὅτι ῥα, and ὅτι δή:—Usage:

I when ὅτι introduces a statement of fact:

a in Hom. always with ind., the tense following the same rules as in English,

ἤγγειλ' ὅττι ῥά οἱ πόσις ἔκτοθι μίμνε πυλάων Il.22.439

Hdt.2.115; καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπον, ὅ. ἡ αὐτή μοι ἀρχή ἐστι .. Pl.Prt. 318a, cf. 356a, 361a, etc.; even where the quotation consists of one word, ib. 330c, Men. 74b, 74c.

2 ὅ. is also used pleon. with the inf. and acc. (cf.

ὡς B.

I.I), εἶπον ὅτι πρῶτον ἐμὲ χρῆναι πειραθῆναι κατ' ἐμαυτόν (which is in fact a mixture of two constrr.) Id.Lg. 892d, cf. Phd.63c, X.HG2.2.2, etc.; but ὅτι has freq. been wrongly inserted by the copyists, as if εἶπεν or λέγουσιν must be followed by it, as in Th.4.37 (om. Pap.), X.Cyr.5.4.1, etc.

III ὅτι in [dialect] Att. freq. represents a whole sentence, esp. in affirm. answers, οὐκοῦν.. τὸ ἀδικεῖν κάκιον ἂν εἴη τοῦ ἀδικεῖσθαι. Answ. δῆλον δὴ ὅτι (i.e. ὅτι κάκιον ἂν εἴη, or ὅτι ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχει) Pl.Grg. 475c; cf. οἶδ' ὅτι, ἴσθ' ὅτι, οἶσθ' ὅτι, S.Ant. 276, 758, Pl.Grg. 486a, etc.: hence arose the practice of using δηλονότι (q.v.) as Adv.

2 what we make the subject of the Verb which follows ὅτι freq. stands in the preceding clause, Αυκάονας δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ εἴδομεν, ὅτι.. καρποῦνται (for εἴδομεν, ὅτι Λυκάονες καρποῦνται) X.An.3.2.23, cf. 3.2.29, etc.

IV ὅτι sts.= with regard to the fact that,

ὅτι.. οὔ φησι.. ὄνομα εἶναι, ὑποπτεύω αὐτὸν σκώπτειν Pl.Cra. 384c

, cf. Prt. 330e, etc.

V οὐχ ὅ..., ἀλλὰ or

ἀλλὰ καὶ.., οὐχ ὅ. ὁ Κρίτων ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ ἦν, ἀλλὰ οἱ φίλοι αὐτοῦ

not only

Crito

.., but his friends, X.Mem.2.9.8; more fully,

οὐχ ὅ. παίζει καί φησι Pl.Prt. 336d

ὅπως A.

II. 2.

2 for ὅτι μή, v. ὅ τι 11.

B as a causal Particle, for that, because, generally after Verbs of feeling, Il.1.56, 14.407, al.;

οὐδὲν ἐκπλαγείς, ὅτι.. εἶδες Jul.Or.1.31a

: but without such a Verb,

ὃν περὶ πάσης τῖεν ὁμηλικίης, ὅτι οἱ φρεσὶν ἄρτια ᾔδη Il.5.326

, cf. 9.76, al.;

μάλιστα δ' αὐτοὺς ἐπεκαλέσαντο ὅτι τειχομαχεῖν ἐδόκουν δυνατοὶ εἶναι Th.1.102

, cf. And.1.75, Aeschin.3.231; so

ὅτιπερ Th.4.14

b folld. by τί, ὅτι τί; why? (lit. because why?) D.23.214; ὅτι τί δή; Ar.Pl. 136, Luc.Dem.Enc.22; ὅτι δὴ τί μάλιστα; Pl.R. 343a; ὅτι δὴ τί γε; Id.Chrm. 161c; cf. ὁτιή.

2 seeing that, in giving the reason for saying what is said, γλαυκὴ δέ σε τίκτε θάλασσα.. ὅτι τοι νόος ἐστὶν ἀπηνής as is proved by the fact that.., Il.16.35, cf. 21.488, Od.22.36. [The last syll. is never elided in [dialect] Att., prob. to avoid confusion with ὅτε: in Hom. ὅτ' ([etym.] ὅ τ') prob. always represents ὅτε ([etym.] ὅ τε): there are no examples of ὅττ': hiatus after ὅτι is permitted in Com., Ar.Lys. 611, Ach. 516.]

ⓐ God and Christ

α. God as ζωή Dg 9:6b; as ζωὴ αἰώνιος 1J 5:20. Of the cross IEph 18:1. It is true of God that ἔχει ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτῷ J 5:26a. God’s commandment is eternal life 12:50 (cp. Philo, Fug. 198 God is the πρεσβυτάτη πηγὴ ζωῆς; Herm. Wr. 11, 13; 14; 12, 15 God the πλήρωμα τ. ζωῆς; PGM 3, 602 [s. Rtzst., Mysterienrel.³ 286, ln. 11]; the deity called Νοῦς as ζωή and φῶς Herm.

He is the ἀρχηγὸς τ. ζωῆς Ac 3:15, the λόγος τ. ζωῆς 1J 1:1; cp. vs. 2, the ἄρτος τ. ζωῆς J 6:35, 48; cp. vs. 33 (EJanot, Le pain de vie: Gregorianum 11, 1930, 161–70), also simply ζωή 11:25; 14:6 or ἡ ζ. ὑμῶν Col 3:4; cp. B 2, 10; IMg 9:1. Since the life in him was τὸ φῶς τ. ἀνθρώπων J 1:4b, people through following him obtain τὸ φῶς τ. ζωῆς 8:12 (on the combination of light and life cp. 1QS 3, 7 and the Orph. Hymns to Helios no. 8, 18 Qu. ζωῆς φῶς, as well as Christian ins of Rome [Ramsay, Luke the Physician 1908 p. 375, 238 A.D.], where a father calls his dead son γλυκύτερον φωτὸς καὶ ζοῆς; s. also α above).—SBartina, La vida como historia en J 1:1–18, Biblica 49, ’68, 91–96.

ⓑ The discussion now turns naturally to the life of the believers, which proceeds fr. God and Christ.

α. without (clear) eschatol. implications, of the life of grace and holiness ἐν καινότητι ζωῆς περιπατεῖν walk in (i.e. live) a new life Ro 6:4; cp. IEph 19:3. ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τ. ζωῆς τ. θεοῦ estranged fr. the life of God Eph 4:18 (cp. Philo, Post. Cai. 69 τῆς θεοῦ ζωῆς ἀπεσχοινίσθαι). ἡ ζωὴ τ. ἀνθρώπων the (true) life of persons (in God) Hm 2:1.—Of the life of salvation and of glory. It is ζ. κυρίου B 1:4 (cp. PGM 12, 255 κύριε τ. ζωῆς; 13, 783) or ζ. ἐν Χρ. Ἰησοῦ 2 Ti 1:1; cp. ζωὴν ὑμῖν ὁ κύριος χαρίζεται Hs 9, 28, 6; effected by his words or by the proclamation of the gospel: ῥήματα ζ. αἰωνίου J 6:68; cp. vs. 63. τὰ ῥήματα τῆς ζ. ταύτης Ac 5:20. λόγος ζωῆς word of life Phil 2:16; cp. 2 Ti 1:10; 2 Cor 4:12. Hence the apostle, proclaiming the gospel, can term himself the bearer of the ‘fragrance of Christ’, leading those appointed to this bliss, the rescued ἐκ ζωῆς εἰς ζωήν from life to life (i.e., as it seems, ever more deeply into the divine life) 2 Cor 2:16.—The Spirit stands w. Christ as the power of life πνεῦμα τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χρ. Ἰησοῦ the spirit of life in Chr. J. Ro 8:2; cp. vss. 6, 10 and J 6:63.—Like the words of Christ, the divine ἐντολή is also to bring life Ro 7:10; Hm 7:5; Hs 8, 7, 6. This ζ. is regarded as God’s gift ζ. ἐν ἀθανασίᾳ 1 Cl 35:2. W. ἀφθαρσία 2 Ti 1:10; 2 Cl 14:5; IPol 2:3. W. γνῶσις D 9:3; Dg 12:3–7. W. εὐσέβεια 2 Pt 1:3. W. εἰρήνη Ro 8:6. W. σωτηρία 2 Cl 19:1. ἀγάπην ἥτις ἐστὶν ἀρχὴ ζωὴς καὶ τέλος IEph 14:1. Christians, who truly belong to the ἐκκλησία τῆς ζωῆς 2 Cl 14:1, are heirs of life, the gift of grace 1 Pt 3:7. This life, as long as they are in the body, κέκρυπται σὺν τ. Χριστῷ ἐν τῷ θεῷ is hidden with Christ in God Col 3:3. Those who forfeit their ζ. (=their real life in contrast to their physical existence as ψυχή) are excluded fr. the life of glory Hv 1, 1, 9; Hs 6, 2, 3; 8, 6, 4; 6; 8, 8, 2f; 5; 9, 21, 4.—Cp. also Ac 11:18 (s. 1QS 3, 1); 13:46, 48. ἡ ὁδὸς τῆς ζ. D 1:2; 4:14. τὰς τρίβους τῆς ζ. Hs 5, 6, 3. Esp. in Johannine usage the term ζ. is copiously employed, as a rule to designate the result of faith in Christ; in most cases it is stated expressly that the follower of Jesus possesses life even in this world: ἔχειν ζωήν (Theophr. in a scholion on Pla. 631c εἰ ζωὴν εἶχεν ὁ πλοῦτος=‘had life, were alive’) J 3:15f, 36a; 5:24a, 40; 6:40, 47, 51, 53f; 10:10; 20:31; 1J 3:15; 5:12ab, 13. διδόναι ζωήν (cp. Sb 8202, 3 [105 B.C.]) J 10:28; 17:2; 1J 5:11.—Cp. 5:16. ὁρᾶν ζωήν J 3:36b. μεταβεβηκέναι ἐκ τ. θανάτου εἰς τ. ζωήν to have passed fr. death into life J 5:24; 1J 3:14. Hence in the eschatol. pass. J 5:29 ἀνάστασις ζωῆς means not a resurrection to enter life (cp. 2 Macc 7:14 and MPol 14:2, where ἀνάστασις ζωῆς αἰ., it seems, is res. to everlasting life), but a resurrection which corresponds to the Christian’s possession of life here and now, a resurrection proceeding from life. J is fond of calling this Life ζ. αἰώνιος, as in many pass. just cited (s. αἰώνιος 3) J 3:15f, 36; 4:14, 36; 5:24, 39; 6:27, 40, 47, 54, 68; 10:28; 12:25, 50; 17:2f; 1J 1:2; 2:25; 3:15; 5:11, 13, 20. But the use of this expr. in our lit. is by no means limited to J and 1J; it is also found in Mt, Mk, Lk, Ac, Ro, Gal, 1 Ti, Tit, Jd, 2 Cl, Ign, MPol, Hermas, Didache (Just., Mel., Ath.; Orig., C. Cels. 2, 77, 31 [w. ἀνάστασις]; cp. αἴδιος ζ. Tat. 14, 2) w. unmistakable eschatol. connotation.

β. ζ. (and ζ. αἰώνιος; cp. 1QS 4:7 and s. J 3:15 al.; opp. ἀπώλεια TestAbr B 8 p. 113, 2 [Stone p. 74]) is used of life in the blessed period of final consummation, in the foll. pass.: ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζ. αἰ. in the coming age eternal life Mk 10:30; Lk 18:30; cp.

παρουσία, ας, ἡ (πάρειμι; Trag., Thu.+)

① the state of being present at a place, presence (Aeschyl. et al.; Herm. Wr. 1, 22; OGI 640, 7, SIG 730, 14; Did.; cp. Hippol., Ref. 7, 32, 8 ‘existence’) 1 Cor 16:17; Phil 2:12 (opp. ἀπουσία). ἡ π. τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενής his bodily presence is weak i.e. when he is present in person, he appears to be weak 2 Cor 10:10.—Of God (Jos., Ant. 3, 80; 203; 9, 55) τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ δείγματα proofs of his presence Dg 7:9 (cp. Diod S 3, 66, 3 σημεῖα τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ θεοῦ; 4, 24, 1).

② arrival as the first stage in presence, coming, advent (Soph., El. 1104; Eur., Alc. 209; Thu. 1, 128, 5. Elsewh. mostly in later wr.: Polyb. 22, 10, 14; Demetr.: 722 Fgm. 11, 18 Jac.; Diod S 15, 32, 2; 19, 64, 6; Dionys. Hal. 1, 45, 4; ins, pap; Jdth 10:18; 2 Macc 8:12; 15:21; 3 Macc 3:17; TestAbr A 2 p. 78, 26 [Stone p. 4]; Jos., Bell. 4, 345, Vi. 90; Tat. 39, 3).

ⓐ of human beings, in the usual sense 2 Cor 7:6f. ἡ ἐμὴ π. πάλιν πρὸς ὑμᾶς my coming to you again, my return to you Phil 1:26.—RFunk, JKnox Festschr. ’67, 249–68.

ⓑ in a special technical sense (difft. JWalvoord, BiblSacr 101, ’44, 283–89 on παρ., ἀποκάλυψις, ἐπιφάνεια) of Christ (and the Antichrist). The use of π. as a t.t. has developed in two directions. On the one hand the word served as a sacred expr. for the coming of a hidden divinity, who makes his presence felt by a revelation of his power, or whose presence is celebrated in the cult (Diod S 3, 65, 1 ἡ τοῦ θεοῦ π. of Dionysus upon earth; 4, 3, 3; Ael. Aristid. 48, 30; 31 K.=24 p. 473 D.; Porphyr., Philos. Ex Orac. Haur. II p. 148 Wolff; Iambl., Myst. 2, 8; 3, 11; 5, 21; Jos., Ant. 3, 80; 203; 9, 55; report of a healing fr. Epidaurus: SIG 1169, 34).—On the other hand, π. became the official term for a visit of a person of high rank, esp. of kings and emperors visiting a province (Polyb. 18, 48, 4; CIG 4896, 8f; SIG 495, 85f; 741, 21; 30; UPZ 42, 18 [162 B.C.]; PTebt 48, 14; 116, 57 [both II B.C.]; O. Wilck II, 1372; 1481. For the verb in this sense s. BGU XIII, 2211, 5.—O. Wilck I 274ff; Dssm., LO 314ff [LAE 372ff]; MDibelius, Hdb. exc. after the expl. of 1 Th 2:20). These two technical expressions can approach each other closely in mng., can shade off into one another, or even coincide (Ins. von Tegea: BCH 25, 1901 p. 275 ἔτους ξθ´ ἀπὸ τῆς θεοῦ Ἁδριανοῦ τὸ πρῶτον ἰς τὴν Ελλάδα παρουσίας).—Herm. Wr. 1, 26 uses π. of the advent of the pilgrim in the eighth sphere.

α. of Christ, and nearly always of his Messianic Advent in glory to judge the world at the end of this age: Mt 24:3 (PSchoonheim, Een semasiolog. onderzoek van π. ’53); 1 Cor 1:8 v.l.; 15:23; 2 Th 2:8 (on the expr. ἐπιφάνεια παρουσίας s. FPfister, Pauly-W. Suppl. IV ’24, 322); 2 Pt 3:4; 1J 2:28; Dg 7:6; Hs 5, 5, 3. ἡ π. τοῦ υἱοῦ τ. ἀνθρώπου Mt 24:27, 37, 39 (cp. the suggestion of retribution SIG 741, 21–23; 31f). ἡ π. τοῦ κυρίου 1 Th 4:15; Js 5:7f. ἡ π. τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ 1 Th 3:13; cp. 2:19. ἡ π. τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ 5:23; 2 Th 2:1 (on the use in 1 and 2 Th s. RGundry, NTS 33, ’87, 161–78); 2 Pt 1:16 (δύναμις w. παρουσία as Jos., Ant. 9, 55; cp. Ael. Aristid. 48, 30 K. [both passages also b above]).—This explains the expr. ἡ π. τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμέρας the coming of the Day of God 2 Pt 3:12.—EvDobschütz, Zur Eschatologie der Ev.: StKr 84, 1911, 1–20; FTillmann, D.

Problem der Parousieverzögerung (synopt and Ac), ’57.—JATRobinson, Jesus and His Coming, ’57.

β. in our lit. prob. only in a few late pass. of Jesus’ advent in the Incarnation (so TestLevi 8:15; TestJud 22:2; Just., A I, 52, 3, D. 14, 8; 40, 4; 118, 2 ἐν τῇ πάλιν παρουσίᾳ; Ps.-Clem., Hom. 2, 52; 8, 5; Orig., C.

But 2 Pt 1:16 (s. α above) can hardly be classed here.

γ. Sense α gave rise to an opposing use of π. to designate the coming of the Antichrist (s. ἄνομος 4; Iren. 3, 7, 2 [Harv. II 26f]; Orig., C. Cels. 6, 45, 5) in the last times οὗ ἐστιν ἡ π. κατʼ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ σατανᾶ whose coming is in keeping with / in line with Satan’s power 2 Th 2:9.

πάσχα, τό indecl. (Aram. פַּסְחָא or פִּסְחָא for Hebr. פֶּסַח.—LXX, Philo, Joseph., Just., Mel., Did.)

① an annual Israelite festival commemorating Israel’s exodus from Egypt, the Passover, celebrated on the 14th of the month Nisan, and continuing into the early hours of the 15th (Jos., Ant. 3, 284f; s. also Ex 12–13; cp. Mishnah, Pesahim). This was followed immediately by the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Mazzoth; ἄζυμος 2) on the 15th to 21st. Popular usage merged the two festivals and treated them as a unity, as they were for practical purposes (s. Lk 22:1 and Mk 14:12 below.—So also Philo and Joseph.: GAmadon, ATR 27, ’45, 109–115; cp. BWambacq, Biblica 62, ’81, 499–518). τὸ π. the Passover (Festival) Mk 14:1; J 2:23; 11:55b; 12:1; 18:39; Ac 12:4. τοῦτο τὸ π. on this Passover GEb 311, 48; 50f (a rewording of Lk 22:15 fr. the Encratite perspective). τὸ π. τῶν Ἰουδαίων J 2:13; 11:55a. τὸ π., ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων 6:4; ἡ ἑορτὴ τοῦ π. Lk 2:41; J 13:1. παρασκευὴ τοῦ π. (s. παρασκευή) J 19:14. ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν ἀζύμων ἡ λεγομένη πάσχα Lk 22:1 (Jos., Ant. 14, 21 τῆς τῶν ἀζύμων ἑορτῆς, ἣν πάσχα λέγομεν; 17, 213; 18, 29, Bell. 2, 10. HSchürmann, Der Paschamahlbericht, Lk 22:7–14, 15–18, ’53). τὸ π. γίνεται the Passover is being celebrated Mt 26:2.

② the lamb sacrificed for observance of the Passover, the Passover lamb θύειν τὸ π. (שָּׁחַט הַפֶּסַח.—Ex 12:21; Dt 16:2, 6; 1 Esdr 7:12; Just., D. 40, 1) kill the Passover lamb Mk 14:12a; Lk 22:7; fig. of Christ and his bloody death 1 Cor 5:7 (ELohse, Märtyrer u. Gottesknecht, ’55, 141–46). φαγεῖν τὸ π. (אָכַל הַפֶּסַח.—2 Ch 30:18 [φασεκ]; 2 Esdr 6:21) eat the Passover Mt 26:17; Mk 14:12b, 14; Lk 22:11, 15; J 18:28; GEb 311, 47 (here the word ἑτοιμάζειν is found, taken fr. Passover terminology [s. 3], but π. still retains its specific sense ‘Passover lamb’.—Mel., P. 16, 101 τὸ π. βιβρώσκεται; Orig., C. Cels. 1, 70, 4).—For lit. s. ἐσθίω 1a.

③ the Passover meal ἑτοιμάζειν τὸ π. prepare the Passover meal Mt 26:19; Mk 14:16; Lk 22:8, 13. ποιεῖν τὸ π. (oft. LXX) hold or celebrate the Passover Mt 26:18; Hb 11:28.

④ in later Christian usage the Easter festival (τὸ π. Hippol., Ref. 8, 5) τὸ κυρίου π. Dg 12:9.—GBeer, Pesachim 1912 (p. 1, 1 lit.); Elbogen³ ’31; HGuthe, Z. Passah der jüd.

ABD VI 764f (lit.). TW. Sv.

παῖς, παιδός, ὁ or ἡ (Hom. et al.) child.

① a young pers. normally below the age of puberty, w. focus on age rather than social status, boy, youth (Hom. et al.; ins, pap, LXX; Philo, Op. M. 105; Jos., Ant. 12, 210; Just., D. 78, 2 and 7; s. VLeinieks, The City of Dionysos ’96, 199–210 on age-classes) Mt 17:18; Lk 9:42; Ac 20:12. Ἰησοῦς ὁ παῖς Lk 2:43. In ref. to Jesus GJs 20:4; 22:2.—Pl. (as פְּדַיָּא a loanw. in rabb.) Mt 2:16; 21:15; B 8:3f.—ἐκ παιδός from childhood (Diod S 1, 54, 5; 1, 73, 9; 1, 92, 5; 19, 40, 2 al. Simplicius in Epict. p. 129, 26; UPZ 144, 19 [165 B.C.] τῆς ἐκ παιδὸς φιλίας; cp. Just., A I, 15, 6 ἐκ παίδων) Mk 9:21 D.

② one’s own immediate offspring, child as ‘son’ or ‘daughter’

ⓐ of a son ὁ παῖς (Hom.+; Diod S 20, 22, 1 οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ; ins, pap, LXX; TestAbr A 7 p. 84, 19 [Stone p. 16]; JosAs 23:9; ApcMos 42; Jos., Bell. 4, 646, Ant. 20, 140 al.; Just., A II, 2, 16 al.; Tat. 41, 1; Mel., HE 4, 26, 7, P. 53, 389; Ath. 20, 2 al.) ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ J 4:51 (=υἱός vss. 46f, 50; υἱός v.l. for παῖς vs. 51). This sense is also poss. in Mt 8:6, 8, 13, but these pass. prob. belong in 3a.

ⓑ of a daughter ἡ παῖς (for the feminine term, but not limited to ‘daughter’, s. Pind., Fgm. 107, 7 [122 Sch.] ὦ παῖδες=girls!; Hyperid., Fgm. 144; Phalaris, Ep. 142, 1; Chariton 1, 8, 2; Philostrat., Her. 19, 11 p. 204, 31; Gen 24:28; 34:12; TestJob 7:7f; Jos., Ant. 1, 254; 5, 266 al.; Tat. 8, 3; 33, 2) Lk 8:51; GJs fifteen times for Mary. ἡ παῖς (my) child (nom. w. art. for voc.; s. B-D-F §147, 3; Rob. 465f; 769) Lk 8:54.

③ one who is committed in total obedience to another, slave, servant

ⓐ of slaves and personal attendants slave, servant (since Hipponax [VI B.C.] 16 D.³; Aeschyl., Cho. 652. Also HUsener, Epicurea 1887 p. 168, 10; Plut., Alcib. 193 [4, 5], Mor. 65c; 70e; SIG 96, 26. Oft. pap. and LXX; TestAbr B; JosAs 99:3 al.; AscIs 3:5; Jos., Ant. 18, 192, Vi. 223.—Even an especially trusted male servant is termed ὁ παῖς: Diod S 15, 87, 6 Epaminondas’ armor-bearer; Appian, Iber. 27, 107 Scipio’s groom; Gen 24:2ff Abraham’s chief servant, vs. 5 ὁ παῖς) Lk 7:7 (=δοῦλος vss. 2f, 10); 15:26; AcPt Ox 849, 15 [Aa I 73, 21 Lat.]. W. παιδίσκη (q.v.) 12:45. Prob. Mt 8:6, 8, 13 also belong here (s. 2a).—Of those at a ruler’s court οἱ παῖδες courtiers, attendants (Diod S 17, 36, 5; Gen 41:10, 37f; 1 Km 16:17; Jer 43:31; 44:2; 1 Macc 1:6, 8) Mt 14:2.

ⓑ of special relationships

α. humans as God’s servants, slaves (Ael. Aristid. 45 p. 152 D.: θεῶν παῖδες [or ‘sons of gods’ as Polyb. 3, 47, 8; Chariton 2, 1, 5 and Diog. L. 9, 72]; LXX; ParJer 6:24 [Jeremiah]) Israel (Is 41:8f; PsSol 12:6; 17:21) Lk 1:54. David (Ps 17:1; Is 37:35) 1:69; Ac 4:25; D 9:2a.—Of guileless pers. τοὺς κατὰ θεὸν ἀκακίαν ἀσκοῦντας παῖδας ἐκάλουν, ὡς καὶ Παπίας δηλοῖ as Papias points out, those who led a godly life without guile were called children Papias (8).

β. angels as servants of God (God) does not trust his servants 1 Cl 39:4 (Job 4:18). Of the young man from heaven who released Paul from his chains παῖς λείαν (=λίαν) εὐειδὴς ἐν χάριτι AcPl Ha 3, 13f.

γ. of Christ in his relation to God. In this connection it has the mng. servant because of the identification of the ‘servant of God’ of certain OT pass. w. the Messiah (Is 52:13 et al.; BJanowski/PStuhlmacher, edd., Der Leidende Gottesknecht ’96 [lit.]; DBS XII 1000–1016) Mt 12:18 (cp. Is 42:1); B 6:1; B 9:2 (on the last two cp. Is 50:10). So prob. also D 9:2b (because of the immediate proximity of Δαυὶδ ὁ παῖς σου 9:2a); 9:3; 10:2f.—In other places (cp. Ath. 10, 2; 12, 2 al.; Iren. 3, 12, 5 [Harv. II 58, 8]) the mng. son is certainly to be preferred (παῖς was so understood in the Gk. world, when it expressed a relationship to a divinity: Il. 2, 205 Κρόνου παῖς; Sappho 1, 2 Diehl; Alcaeus 1; Bacchylides 17, 70 Minos, a παῖς of Zeus; Hermocles [IV/III B.C.] p. 174 Coll. Alex.=Athen. 6, 63, 253d: Demetrius Poliorcetes as π. Ποσειδῶνος θεοῦ; Diod S 17, 51, 1 the god Ammon has his prophet address Alexander thus χαῖρε, ὦ παῖ; what follows makes it clear that procreation is meant; Plut., Mor. 180d; Maximus Tyr. 14, 1d; Paus. 2, 10, 3 Ἄρατος Ἀσκληπιοῦ π.; Diogenes, Ep. 36, 1; Philostrat., Vi. Apoll. 7, 24 p. 279, 4; Porphyr., Vi. Plot. 23; Iambl., Vi. Pyth. 2, 10; IG IV², 128, 50 [280 B.C.] and oft.; Sb 8314, 9 Hermes conducts the dead man to the Elysian fields ἅμα παισὶ θεῶν. S. above bα the παῖδες θεῶν. Cp. also Herm. Wr. 13, 2 ὁ γεννώμενος θεοῦ θεὸς παῖς; 13, 4; 14; Rtzst., Poim. 223f.—Celsus 7, 9) παῖς αὐτοῦ ὁ μονογενὴς Ἰησοῦς Χρ. MPol 20:2. God as ὁ τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ κ. εὐλογητοῦ παιδὸς Ἰησοῦ Χρ. πατήρ 14:1. Corresp. Christ as God’s ἀγαπητὸς παῖς 14:3; Dg 8:11. The same is true of the other pass. in Dg: 8:9; 9:1.—In the case of the rest of the pass. it is hardly poss. to decide which mng. is better: Ac 3:13, 26; 4:27, 30 (unless the παῖς σου your servant of 4:25 should demand the same transl. for the other pass. as well; JMénard, CBQ 19, ’57, 83–92 [Acts]); 1 Cl 59:2–4 (in wordplay w. παιδεύω; but here the word ἠγαπημένος repeated in vss. 2 and 3 [cp. the magical pap of c. 300 A.D. in TSchermann, TU 34, 2b, 1909, 3: Christ as ἠγαπημένος παῖς] could suggest the transl. son).—WBousset, Kyrios Christos² 1921, 56f; AvHarnack, Die Bezeichnung Jesu als ‘Knecht Gottes’ u. ihre Geschichte in d. alten Kirche: SBBerlAk 1926, 212–38; Jeremias, ZNW 34, ’35, 115–23; KEuler, D.
