Help, Holpen <A-1,Noun,484,antilepsis | antilempsis> properly signifies "a laying hold of, an exchange" (anti, "in exchange," or, in its local sense, "in front," and lambano, "to take, lay hold of," so as to support); then, "a help" (akin to B, No. 1); it is mentioned in 1 Cor. 12:28, as one of the ministrations in the local church, by way of rendering assistance, perhaps especially of "help" ministered to the weak and needy. So Theophylact defines the injunction in 1 Thess. 5:14, "support the weak;" cp. Acts 20:35; not official functionaries are in view in the term "helps," but rather the functioning of those who, like the household of Stephanas, devote themselves to minister to the saints. Hort defines the ministration as "anything that would be done for poor or weak or outcast brethren."

<A-2,Noun,996,boetheia>
from boe, "a shout," and theo, "to run," denotes "help, succour," Heb. 4:16, lit., "(grace) unto (timely) help;" in Acts 27:17, where the plural is used, the term is nautical, "frapping."

<B-3,Verb,4878,sunantilambano>
signifies "to take hold with at the side for assistance" (sun, "with," and No. 1); hence, "to take a share in, help in bearing, to help in general."

Notes: (1) For makran, "far hence," in Acts 22:21, see FAR. (2) In Acts 1:5, the phrase "not many days hence" is, lit., "not after (meta) many days."

(2) For Matt. 26:64; Luke 22:69 (AV, "hereafter") see HENCEFORTH; for Mark 11:14 see HENCEFORWARD. (3) In John 14:30, ouk eti is rendered "no more" in the RV (AV, "Hereafter ... not"). (4) In 1 Tim. 1:16, "hereafter" translates the verb mello, "to be about to."

See SECT.

primarily, "to cast lots" or "to choose by lot," then, "to assign a portion," is used in the Passive Voice in Eph. 1:11, "we were made a heritage," RV (AV, "we have obtained an inheritance"). The RV is in agreement with such OT passages as Deut. 4:20, "a people of inheritance;" Deut. 9:29; 32:9; Ps. 16:6. The meaning "were chosen by lot," as in the Vulgate, and in 1 Sam. 14:41, indicating the freedom of election without human will (so Chrysostom and Augustine), is not suited to this passage.

Hew, Hew down, Hewn <A-1,Verb,1581,ekkopto>

See SECRET.

<A-2,Verb,613,apokrupto>
"to conceal from, to keep secret" (apo, "from," and No. 1), is used metaphorically, in Luke 10:21, of truths "hidden" from the wise and prudent and revealed to babes; 1 Cor. 2:7, of God's wisdom; Eph. 3:9, of the mystery of the unsearchable riches of Christ, revealed through the Gospel; Col. 1:26, of the mystery associated with the preceding.

<A-6,Verb,3871,parakalupto>
lit., "to cover with a veil," AV, "hid," in Luke 9:45, "it was veiled from them;" see CONCEAL.

<A-7,Verb,2990,lanthano>
"to escape notice, to be hidden from," is rendered "(could not) be hid" in Mark 7:24, of Christ; "was (not) hid," Luke 8:47, of the woman with the issue of blood; "is hidden," Acts 26:26, of the facts concerning Christ; the sentence might be rendered "none of these things has escaped the king's notice."

lit., "to cut into" (en, "in," kopto, "to cut"), was used of "impeding" persons by breaking up the road, or by placing an obstacle sharply in the path; hence, metaphorically, of "detaining" a person unnecessarily, Acts 24:4; of "hindrances" in the way of reaching others, Rom. 15:22; or returning to them, 1 Thess. 2:18; of "hindering" progress in the Christian life, Gal. 5:7 (anakopto in some mss.), where the significance virtually is "who broke up the road along which you were travelling so well?;" of "hindrances" to the prayers of husband and wife, through low standards of marital conduct, 1 Pet. 3:7 (ekkopto, "to cut out, repulse," in some mss.).

has the same meaning as No. 1; "hither," John 4:15,16; Acts 17:6; 25:17. See HERE.

Note: For deuro, "come hither," see COME, and HITHERTO, Note (2).

Hitherto * Notes: (1) The phrase Heos arti, "until now," is rendered "hitherto" in John 16:24, AV, and RV; in John 5:17, RV, "even until now," which more definitely express the meaning that the AV, "hitherto;" the rest of the Father and the Son having been broken by man's sin, they were engaged in the accomplishment of their counsels of grace with a view to redemption. (2) The phrase achri tou deuro, lit., "until the hither," or "the present," is used of time in Rom. 1:13, "hitherto."

See APPREHEND CATCH, TAKE.

<8,,5083,tereo>
akin to A, No. 1, under HOLD (Noun), "to watch over, keep, give heed to, observe," is rendered "hold fast" in Rev. 3:3, AV (RV, "keep"). See KEEP, OBSERVE RESERVE, WATCH.

<9,,1510,eimi>
"to be," is used in the imperfect tense, with the preposition, sun, "with," in the idiomatic phrase "held with," in Acts 14:4, lit., "were with."

(2) In Matt. 12:14, RV, lambano, "to take," is translated "took (counsel)," AV, "held (a council)."

translated "holiness" in the AV of Rom. 6:19,22; 1 Thess. 4:7; 1 Tim. 2:15; Heb. 12:14, is always rendered "sanctification" in the RV. It signifies (a) separation to God, 1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Thess. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:2; (b) the resultant state, the conduct befitting those so separated, 1 Thess. 4:3,4,7, and the four other places mentioned above. "Sanctification" is thus the state predetermined by God for believers, into which in grace He calls them, and in which they begin their Christian course and so pursue it. Hence they are called "saints" (hagioi). See SANTIFICATION.

Note: The corresponding verb hagiazo denotes "to set apart to God." See HALLOW, SANCTIFY.

<A-2,Noun,42,hagiosune>
denotes the manifestation of the quality of "holiness" in personal conduct; (a) it is used in Rom. 1:4, of the absolute "holiness" of Christ in the days of His flesh, which distinguished Him from all merely human beings; this (which is indicated in the phrase "the spirit of holiness") and (in vindication of it) His resurrection from the dead, marked Him out as (He was "declared to be") the Son of God; (b) believers are to be "perfecting holiness in the fear of God," 2 Cor. 7:1, i.e., bringing "holiness" to its predestined end, whereby (c) they may be found "unblameable in holiness" in the Parousia of Christ, 1 Thess. 3:13.

"In each place character is in view, perfect in the case of the Lord Jesus, growing toward perfection in the case of the Christian. Here the exercise of love is declared to be the means God uses to develop likeness to Christ in His children. The sentence may be paraphrased thus:-- 'The Lord enable you more and more to spend your lives in the interests of others, in order that He may so establish you in Christian character now, that you may be vindicated from every charge that might possibly be brought against you at the Judgement-seat of Christ;' cp. 1 John 4:16,17." * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 108, 115.]

<A-3,Noun,41,hagiotes>
"sanctity," the abstract quality of "holiness," is used (a) of God, Heb. 12:10; (b) of the manifestation of it in the conduct of the Apostle Paul and his fellow-laborers, 2 Cor. 1:12 (in the best mss., for haplotes).

<A-4,Noun,3742,hosits>
is to be distinguished from No. 3, as denoting that quality of "holiness" which is manifested in those who have regard equally to grace and truth; it involves a right relation to God; it is used in Luke 1:75; Eph. 4:24, and in each place is associated with righteousness.

Notes: (1) In Acts 3:12, the AV translates eusebeia, by "holiness," RV, "godliness," as everywhere, the true meaning of the word. See GODLINESS. (2) In Titus 2:3, AV, hieroprepes, which denotes "suited to a sacred character, reverent," is rendered "as becometh holiness," RV, "reverent." See REVERENT.

<B-1,Adjective,40,hagios>
akin to A, Nos. 1 and 2, which are from the same root as hagnos (found in hazo, "to venerate"), fundamentally signifies "separated" (among the Greeks, dedicated to the gods), and hence, in Scripture in its moral and spiritual significance, separated from sin and therefore consecrated to God, sacred.

(a) It is predicted of God (as the absolutely "Holy" One, in His purity, majesty and glory): of the Father, e.g., Luke 1:49; John 17:11; 1 Pet. 1:15,16; Rev. 4:8; 6:10; of the Son, e.g., Luke 1:35; Acts 3:14; 4:27,30; 1 John 2:20; of the Spirit, e.g., Matt. 1:18 and frequently in all the Gospels, Acts, Romans, 1 and 2 Cor., Eph., 1 Thess.; also in 2 Tim. 1:14; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:12; 2 Pet. 1:21; Jude 1:20.

(b) It is used of men and things (see below) in so far as they are devoted to God. Indeed the quality, as attributed to God, is often presented in a way which involves Divine demands upon the conduct of believers. These are called hagioi, "saints," i.e., "sanctified" or "holy" ones.

This sainthood is not an attainment, it is a state into which God in grace calls men; yet believers are called to sanctify themselves (consistently with their calling, 2 Tim. 1:9), cleansing themselves from all defilement, forsaking sin, living a "holy" manner of life, 1 Pet. 1:15; 2 Pet. 3:11, and experiencing fellowship with God in His holiness. The saints are thus figuratively spoken of as "a holy temple," 1 Cor. 3:17 (a local church); Eph. 2:21 (the whole Church), cp. Eph. 5:27; "a holy priesthood," 1 Pet. 2:5; "a holy nation," 1 Pet. 2:9.

"It is evident that hagios and its kindred words ... express something more and higher than hieros, sacred, outwardly associated with God; ... something more than semnos, worthy, honorable; something more than hagnos, pure, free from defilement. hagios is ... more comprehensive ... It is characteristically godlikness" (G.B. Stevens, in Hastings' Bib. Dic.).

The adjective is also used of the outer part of the tabernacle, Heb. 9:2 (RV, "the holy place"); of the inner sanctuary, Heb. 9:3, RV, "the Holy of Holies;" Heb. 9:24, "a holy place," RV; Heb. 9:25 (plural), of the presence of God in heaven, where there are not two compartments as in the Tabernacle, all being "the holy place;" Heb. 9:8,12 (neuter plural); Heb. 10:19, "the holy place," RV (AV, "the holiest," neut. plural), see SANCTUARY; of the city of Jerusalem, Rev. 11:2; its temple, Acts 6:13; of the faith, Jude 1:20; of the greetings of saints, 1 Cor. 16:20; of angels, e.g., Mark 8:38; of apostles and prophets, Eph. 3:5; of the future heavenly Jerusalem, Rev. 21:2,10; 22:19.

<B-2,Adjective,3741,hosios>
akin to A, No. 4, signifies "religiously right, holy," as opposed to what is unrighteous or polluted. It is commonly associated with righteousness (see A, No.4). It is used "of God, Rev. 15:4; 16:5; and of the body of the Lord Jesus, Acts 2:27; 13:35, citations from Ps. 16:10, Sept.; Heb. 7:26; and of certain promises made to David, which could be fulfilled only in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, Acts 13:34. In 1 Tim. 2:8; Titus 1:8, it is used of the character of Christians ... In the Sept., hosios frequently represents the Hebrew word chasid, which varies in meaning between 'holy' and 'gracious,' or 'merciful;' cp. Ps. 16:10 with 145:17." * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 64.]

Notes: (1) For Acts 13:34, see the RV and the AV marg.; the RV in Rev. 16:5, "Thou Holy One," translates the most authentic mss. (AV "and shalt be"). (2) For hieros (see No. 1), subserving a sacred purpose, translated "holy" in 2 Tim. 3:15, AV (of the Scriptures), see SACRED.

<C-1,Adverb,3743,hosios>
akin to A, No. 4, and B, No. 2, "holily," i.e., pure from evil conduct, and observant of God's will, is used in 1 Thess. 2:10, of the conduct of the Apostle and his fellow-missionaries.

<D-1,Verb,37,hagiazo>
"to hallow, sanctify," in the Passive Voice, "to be made holy, be sanctified," is translated "let him be made holy" in Rev. 22:11, the aorist or point tense expressing the definiteness and completeness of the Divine act; elsewhere it is rendered by the verb "to sanctify." See HALLOW, SANCTIFY.

Holy Ghost * For HOLY GHOST see under SPIRIT and HOLY, B, No. 1 (a)

Holyday <1,,1859,heorte>
denotes "a feast, festival;" it is translated "a holy day" in the AV of Col. 2:16; RV, "a feast day." See FEAST.

Home, at Home (to be; workers) <A-1,Noun and Phrase,3624,oikos>
"a house, dwelling," is used (a) with the preposition eis, "unto," with the meaning "to home," lit., "to a house," in Mark 8:3, RV, "to (their) home," AV, "to (their own) houses;" so Mark 8:26, "to (his) home;" Luke 15:6, "home," lit., "into the house;" (b) with the preposition en, "in," 1 Cor. 11:34, "(let him eat) at home;" 1 Cor. 14:35, "(let them ask ...) at home;" (c) with the preposition kata, "down," Acts 2:46, "(breaking bread) at home," RV (AV, "from house to house"); so in Acts 5:42 (AV, "in every house").

Notes: (1) In Mark 3:19, the AV and RV marg., have "home," for the text "to a house;" the latter seems the more probable. See HOUSE.

(2) In 1 Tim. 5:4, the phrase ton idion oikon, is rendered "at home," of the necessity that children should show piety there; RV, "towards their own family," the house being put by metonymy for the family. The neuter plural of idios, "one's own," with the article, preceded by eis, "unto," lit., "unto one's own (things)," is translated "home" in Acts 21:6; in John 19:27, "unto his own home" ("home" being italicized).

Note: In John 16:32, this phrase is rendered "to his own" (of the predicted scattering of the disciples), AV marg., "his own home;" cp. John 1:11, "His own things," RV, marg. (i.e., "His possessions").

For oikia in Matt. 8:6, AV, "at home," see HOUSE.

(3) In Luke 24:12 the reflexive pronoun hauton (in some mss. heauton), preceded by pros, to, is rendered "to his home," RV (lit., "to himself"), of the departure of Peter from the Lord's tomb; in John 20:10, the same construction is used, in the plural, of Peter and John on the same occasion, and rendered "unto their own home."

<B-1,Adjective,3626,oikourgos>
"working at home" (oikos, and a root of ergon, "work"), is used in Titus 2:5, "workers at home," RV, in the injunction given to elder women regarding the training of the young women. Some mss. have oikouros, "watching" or "keeping the home" (oikos, and ouros, "a keeper"), AV, "keepers at home."

<C-1,Verb,1736,endemeo>
lit., "to be among one's people" (en, "in," demos, "people;" endemos, "one who is in his own place or land"), is used metaphorically of the life on earth of believers, 2 Cor. 5:6, "at home (in the body);" in 2 Cor. 5:8 of the life in Heaven of the spirits of believers, after their decease, "at home (with the Lord)," RV (AV, "present"); in 2 Cor. 5:9, "at home" (AV, "present") refers again to the life on earth. In each verse the verb is contrasted with ekdemeo, "to be away from home, to be absent;" in ver. 6, "we are absent," i.e., away from "home" (from the Lord); in ver. 8, "to be absent" (i.e., away from the "home" of the body); so in ver. 9, "absent." The implication in being "at home with the Lord" after death is a testimony against the doctrine of the unconsciousness of the spirit, when freed from the natural body.

Honest, Honestly, Honesty <A-1,Adjective,2570,kalos>
"good, admirable, becoming," has also the ethical meaning of what is "fair, right, honorable, of such conduct as deserves esteem;" it is translated "honest" [cp. Latin honestus (from honos, "honor")], which has the same double meaning as "honest" in the AV, namely, regarded with honor, honorable, and bringing honor, becoming; in Luke 8:15 (AV, and RV), "an honest and good (agathos) heart;" Rom. 12:17; 2 Cor. 8:21; 13:7, RV, "honorable" (AV, "honest"), of things which are regarded with esteem; in 1 Pet. 2:12, of behavior, RV, "seemly," AV, "honest" (i.e., becoming). See GOOD.

Note: In Titus 3:14, the RV and AV margins give what is probably the accurate meaning, "(to profess) honest occupations" (AV, "trades"); in the texts "(to maintain) good works."

<A-2,Adjective,4586,semnos>
"august, venerable," is rendered "honest" in Phil. 4:8, AV (marg., "venerable"), RV, "honorable" (marg., "reverent"). Matthew Arnold suggests "nobly serious." See GRAVE.

Note: In Acts 6:3, "men of honest (RV, 'good') report" translates the Passive Voice of martureo, lit., "having had witness borne."

<B-1,Adverb,2573,kalos>
corresponding to A, No. 1, is used in Heb. 13:18, "honestly," i.e., honorably. See PLACE, C, Note (4), WELL.

<B-2,Adverb,2156,euschemonos>
"becomingly, decently," is rendered "honestly" in Rom. 13:13, where it is set in contrast with the confusion of gentile social life, and in 1 Thess. 4:12, of the manner of life of believers as a witness to "them that are without;" in 1 Cor. 14:40, "decently," in contrast with confusion in the churches. See DECENTLY.

<C-1,Noun,4587,semnotes>
denotes "gravity, dignified seriousness;" it is rendered "honesty" in the AV of 1 Tim. 2:2, RV, "gravity." See GRAVITY.

Honey <1,,3192,meli>
occurs with the adjective agrios, "wild," in Matt. 3:4; Mark 1:6; in Rev. 10:9,10, as an example of sweetness. As "honey" is liable to ferment, it was precluded from offerings to God, Lev. 2:11. The liquid "honey" mentioned in Ps. 19:10; Prov. 16:24 is regarded as the best; a cruse of it was part of the present brought to Ahijah by Jeroboam's wife, 1 Kings 14:3.
