evil one, 1 John 2:14; of (b) things: (1) wind, Matt. 14:30 (in

Notes: (1) For "strong delusion," 2 Thess. 2:11, AV, see ERROR, No. 1. (2) For "strong (meat)," Heb. 5:12,14, AV, see SOLID.
<B-1,Verb,1743,endunamoo>

is rendered "waxed strong" in Rom. 4:20, RV (AV, "was strong");

metaphorically of the effect of the most worthless form of
unprofitable doctrine, in the lives and conduct of those in a
church who are the subjects of such teaching; the teachings
received and the persons who receive them are associated; the
latter are "the doctrine exhibited in concrete form"
(Lightfoot).
Stuck * For STUCK see STICK
Study * Notes: For philotimeomai, "study," 1 Thess. 4:11, see AIM. For spoudazo, 2 Tim. 2:15, AV, see DILIGENCE, B, No. 1.
Stuff * For STUFF, Luke 17:31, AV, see GOODS, No. 4
Stumble
<1,,4350,proskopto>
"to strike against," is used of "stumbling," (a) physically,
John 11:9,10; (b) metaphorically, (1) of Israel in regard to

Gospel relating thereto, were contrary to all their ideas as to
the means of righteousness before God, Rom. 9:32; 1 Pet. 2:8;

"a pricking" (akin to katanusso, "to strike" or "prick
violently," Acts 2:37), is used in Rom. 11:8, RV, "stupor" (AV,
"slumber"). It is suggested that this meaning arose from the
influence of the verb katanustazo, "to nod" or "fall asleep"
(Field, Notes on the Translation of the NT). Evidently what is
signified is the dulling of the spiritual sense. In the Sept.,
Ps. 60:3; Isa. 29:10.
Subdue
<1,,2610,katagonizomai>
primarily, "to struggle against" (kata, "against," agon, "a
contest"), came to signify "to conquer," Heb. 11:33, "subdued."
Note: For hupotasso, AV, "to subdue," in 1 Cor. 15:28; Phil. 3:21, see SUBJECT.
Subject, Subjection (Verb, Adjective, Noun)
<A-1,Verb,5293,hupotasso>
primarily a military term, "to rank under" (hupo, "under,"

subject for AV, "to put under," 1 Cor. 15:27 (thrice),28 (3rd
clause); Eph. 1:22; Heb. 2:8 (4th clause); in 1 Cor. 15:28 (1st
clause), for AV "be subdued;" in Phil. 3:21, for AV, "subdue;"
in Heb. 2:5, AV, "hath ... put in subjection;" (b) in the Middle
or Passive Voice, to subject oneself, to obey, be subject to,
Luke 2:51; 10:17,20; Rom. 8:7; 10:3, RV, "did (not) subject
themselves" [AV, "have (not) submitted themselves"]; Rom.
13:1,5; 1 Cor. 14:34, RV, "be in subjection" (AV, "be under
obedience"); 1 Cor. 15:28 (2nd clause); 16:16 RV, "be in
subjection" (AV, "submit, etc."); so Col. 3:18; Eph. 5:21, RV,

in italics, according to the best texts; Eph. 5:24, "is
subject;" Titus 2:5,9, RV, "be in subjection" (AV, "be
obedient"); Titus 3:1, RV, "to be in subjection;" (AV, "to be
subject"); Heb. 12:9, "be in subjection;" Jas. 4:7, RV, "be
subject" (AV, "submit yourselves"); so 1 Pet. 2:13; 2:18, RV,
"be in subjection;" so 1 Pet. 3:1, AV and RV; 1 Pet. 3:5,
similarly; 1 Pet. 3:22, "being made subject;" 1 Pet. 5:5, RV,
"be subject" (AV, "submit yourselves"); in some texts in the 2nd
part, as AV. See OBEDIENT, SUBMIT.
Note: For doulagogeo, 1 Cor. 9:27, AV, "bring into subjection," see BONDAGE, B, No. 3. For anupotaktos, "not subject," Heb. 2:8, see DISOBEDIENT, B, Note.
<B-1,Adjective,1777,enochos>
"held in, bound by," in Heb. 2:15, "subject to:" see DANGER, B,
No. 1.
Note: For "subject to like passions," Jas. 5:17, AV, see PASSION.
<C-1,Noun,5292,hupotage>
"subjection," occurs in 2 Cor. 9:13; Gal. 2:5; 1 Tim. 2:11; 3:4.
Submit
<1,,5226,hupeiko>
"to retire, withdraw" (hupo, under, eiko, "to yield"), hence,
"to yield, submit," is used metaphorically in Heb. 13:17, of
"submitting" to spiritual guides in the churches.
Note: For hupotasso, see SUBJECT, A.
Suborn
<1,,5260,hupoballo>
"to throw or put under, to subject," denoted "to suggest,
whisper, prompt;" hence, "to instigate," translated "suborned"
in Acts 6:11. To "suborn" in the legal sense is to procure a
person who will take a false oath. The idea of making
suggestions is probably present in this use of the word.
Substance
<1,,3776,ouisia>
derived from a present participial form of eimi, "to be,"
denotes "substance, property," Luke 15:12,13, RV, "substance,"
AV, "goods" and "substance."
<2,,5224,huparchonta>
the neuter plural of the present participle of huparcho, "to be
in existence," is used as a noun with the article, signifying
one's "goods," and translated "substance" in Luke 8:3. See
GOODS, POSSESS, A, No. 3.
<3,,5223,huparxis>
existence (akin to No. 2), possession: see POSSESS, B, No. 4.
<4,,5287,hupostasis>
for which see CONFIDENCE, A No. 2, is translated "substance" (a)
in Heb. 1:3, of Christ as "the very image" of God's "substance;"
here the word has the meaning of the real nature of that to
which reference is made in contrast to the outward manifestation
(see the preceding clause); it speaks of the Divine essence of
God existent and expressed in the revelation of His Son. The AV,
"person" is an anachronism; the word was not so rendered till
the 4th cent. Most of the earlier Eng. versions have
"substance;" (b) in Heb. 11:1 it has the meaning of "confidence,
assurance" (RV), marg., "the giving substance to," AV,
"substance," something that could not equally be expressed by
elpis, "hope."
Subtilly
<1,,2686,katasophizomai>
"to deal subtly" (from kata, "against, under," sophos, "wise,
subtle," used in the Sept. in 2 Sam. 13:3, of Jonadab), occurs
in Acts 7:19. In the Sept., Ex. 1:10.
Subtilty * Note: For dolos, Matt. 26:4; Acts 13:10, see GUILE. For panourgia, 2 Cor. 11:3, see CRAFTINESS.
Subvert, Subverting
<A-1,Verb,384,anaskeuazo>
primarily, "to pack up baggage" (ana, "up," skeuos, "a vessel"),
hence, from a military point of view, "to dismantle a town, to
plunder," is used metaphorically in Acts 15:24, of unsettling or
"subverting" the souls of believers. In the papyri it is used of
going bankrupt.
Note: For anatrepo, Titus 1:11, see OVERTHROW, B, No. 3. For ekstrepho, Titus 3:11, see PERVERT, No. 4.
<B-1,Noun,2692,katastrophe>
"an overthrow," 2 Pet. 2:6 (Eng., "catastrophe"), is rendered
"subverting" in 2 Tim. 2:14. See OVERTHROW.
Succeed * For SUCCEED, Acts 24:27, RV, see ROOM, Note (2)
Succor * For SUCCOR see HELP, B, No. 4
Succorer
<1,,4368,prostatis>
a feminine form of prostates, denotes "a protectress,
patroness;" it is used metaphorically of Phoebe in Rom. 16:2. It
is a word of dignity, evidently chosen instead of others which
might have been used (see, e.g., under HELPER), and indicates
the high esteem with which she was regarded, as one who had been
a protectress of many. Prostates was the title of a citizen in
Athens, who had the responsibility of seeing to the welfare of
resident aliens who were without civic rights. Among the Jews it
signified a wealthy patron of the community.
Such * For SUCH see +, p. 9
Such as * Notes: (1) In Acts 2:47, AV, the article with the present participle, Passive, of sozo, "to save," lit., "the (ones), i.e., those, being saved," is translated "such as (should be saved);" the RV, "those that (were being saved)," gives the correct meaning, marking the kind of persons who were added to the company; (2) "such as" is a rendering of certain relative pronouns: hoios, "what sort of," e.g., Matt. 24:21; 2 Cor. 12:20 (twice); Rev. 16:18; hostis, "whoever," e.g., Mark 4:20; hopoios, "of what sort," preceded by toioutos, "of such a sort," Acts 26:29; (3) deina, Matt. 26:18, denotes "such a one" (whom one cannot, or will not, name). (4) In Heb. 13:5, "such things as ye have" represents the phrase ta paronta, "the (things) present" (present participle of pareimi); (5) in Luke 11:41, ta enonta, AV, "such things as ye have," lit., "the (things) within" (eneimi, "to be in"), RV, "those things which are within" (AV marg., "as you are able," RV, marg., "ye can"), perhaps signifying not outward things such as lustrations, but "what things ye have within your cups and platters," i.e., "your possessions."
Suck (give suck), Suckling
<1,,2337,thelazo>
from thele, "a breast," is used (a) of the mother, "to suckle,"
Matt. 24:19; Mark 13:17; Luke 21:23; in some texts in Luke 23:29
(the best have trepho); (b) of the young, "to suck," Matt.
21:16, "sucklings;" Luke 11:27.
Sudden, Suddenly
<A-1,Adjective,160,aiphnidios>
"sudden," occurs in 1 Thess. 5:3, where it has the place of
emphasis at the beginning of the sentence, as olethros,
"destruction," which the adjective qualifies, has at the end; in
Luke 21:34, it is used adverbially, RV, "suddenly" (AV,
"unawares"). See UNAWARES.
<B-1,Adverb,869,aphno>
"suddenly," occurs in Acts 2:2; 16:26; 28:6.
<B-2,Adverb,1810,exaiphnes>
a strengthened form, akin to No. 1, occurs in Mark 13:36; Luke
2:13; 9:39; Acts 9:3; 22:6.
