Deep Study — Ephesians 2:19
Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — The Unity of Believersgenerated
Ephesians 2:19 emphasizes the transformation of believers from being outsiders to becoming integral members of God's family. Paul elaborates on the implications of this new status, highlighting the shared identity among believers as fellow citizens with the saints, which fosters unity within the church. This passage connects to earlier discussions on access to God through the Spirit, underscoring the communal aspect of faith.

The Key Word — συμπολῖται, sumpolitēsgenerated
The word συμπολίτης is a noun meaning 'fellow citizen,' derived from the roots for 'together' and 'city.' It signifies belonging to a community or nation, particularly in a spiritual context, as seen in Philippians 3:20 where believers are described as citizens of heaven.
In this verse, it denotes that believers are not merely individuals but part of a collective identity within the kingdom of God. The parsing indicates that it is in the nominative plural, suggesting a shared status among all believers.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, the verse is primarily examined through the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses the phrase fellow citizens. The KJV and ASV also reflect this meaning, emphasizing the communal aspect of citizenship.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of ξένοι as either strangers or foreigners, with the BSB, KJV, and others opting for foreigners, while the ASV and GNV choose strangers. This distinction highlights nuances in understanding the believer's previous status.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἐστὲ, you are, which connects the subject to its predicate. The structure includes a main clause followed by two noun phrases that describe the new identity of believers.
The first noun phrase identifies them as ξένοι and πάροικοι, while the second identifies them as συμπολῖται and οἰκεῖοι, emphasizing their new status in God's household.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word πάροικος appears in the Septuagint, translating the Hebrew term for 'sojourner' or 'foreigner.' It relates to the idea of being a temporary resident, which contrasts with the permanent status believers now hold in God's family.
This term connects with the broader theme of inclusion found in the Old Testament, where God's people were often reminded of their identity as sojourners in a foreign land.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ephesians 2:19 tells us that believers are no longer outsiders or strangers to God, but are now fellow citizens with the saints and part of God's family. This change signifies a new identity and belonging for all who believe.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Being a fellow citizen with the saints means that believers share a common identity and rights within the community of faith, similar to belonging to a nation.
This verse emphasizes that all believers, regardless of their background, are included in God's family, breaking down barriers that once separated them.
Being members of God's household signifies a deep relationship with God and other believers, indicating care, support, and unity within the faith community.
Living out your identity as a fellow citizen involves actively participating in the life of the church, supporting fellow believers, and sharing the love of Christ with others.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways do I feel a sense of belonging within my church community?
- How can I better support fellow believers as members of God's household?
- What barriers might I need to overcome to embrace others as fellow citizens in faith?
- How does understanding my identity as a citizen of God's kingdom change my perspective on my daily life?
The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early church fathers comment on this verse to highlight the identity of believers as citizens of God's kingdom, contrasting them with outsiders.
What are we to understand by “fellow citizens with the saints?” It implies a distinction between citizens and saints. But if this is so, who are the saints and who are the citizens? Saints refers to the apostles,Early Church Fathers on Ephesians 2 →
Perceive ye that it is not with the Jews simply, no, but with those saintly and great men, such as Abraham, and Moses, and Elias? It is for the self-same city with these we are enrolled, for that we declare ourselves.Early Church Fathers on Ephesians 2 →
Believers become “fellow citizens” in a way analogous to all those who desired the peace of Rome. They brought gifts and were accepted as Roman citizens, as were the people of Cilician Tarsus. Paul was a Roman citizen of that city.Early Church Fathers on Ephesians 2 →

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Ergo jam non estis hospites, et advenæ : sed estis cives sanctorum, et domestici Dei,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word ἄρα is an illative particle used to express inference, often indicating a conclusion or consequence. It appears frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of Paul, but is absent from the works of John and the Catholic Epistles. Its usage includes forming questions and connecting ideas, as seen in verses like Romans 7:21 and 1 Corinthians 15:14.

His date is given as 715-707 BC (Flinders Petrie, History of Egypt, III, 281 ff), but we may suppose that before his accession to the throne he was entitled to be designated king, as being actually regent. To this So, Hoshea, king of Israel, made an appeal for assistance to enable him to throw off the yoke of the Assyrian Shalmaneser IV (2Ki 17:3). But Hoshea's submission to So brought him no advantage, for Shalmaneser came up throughout all the land and laid siege to Samaria. Not long after the fall of Samaria, So ventured upon an eastern campaign, and…
So
(Nubian, Sabako), an Ethiopian king who brought Egypt under his sway. He was bribed by Hoshea to help him against the Assyrian monarch Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:4). This was a return to the policy that had been successful in the reign of Jeroboam I.
"So, king of Egypt," is once mentioned in the Bible -- (2 Kings 17:4) So has been identified by different writers with the first and second kings of the Ethiopian twenty-fifth dynasty, called by Manetho, Sabakon (Shebek) and Sebichos (Shebetek).
King of Egypt, made an alliance with Hoshea king of Israel, and promised him assistance; but was unable to prevent Shalmaneser king of Assyria from taking Samaria and subverting the kingdom, B. C. 721, 2Ki 17:4. See PHARAOH.
So is believed to have been the Servetus or Sabaco II of secular history, the second king of the Ethiopian or twenty-fifth dynasty, and the predecessor of Trihakah. A singular fact has been brought to light by the recent explorations at Nineveh, corroborating the Scripture record the more forcibly, because unexpected and direct. The Bible shows that Egypt and Assyria, though remote, were often in conflict during the height of the Assyrian ruins power, and that So was at war with Shalmaneser. After war comes the treaty of peace; and as the Bible prepares us to suppose such treaties were made, the Assyrian ruins…

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9. It can also serve in exhortations and questions, indicating what follows logically from previous statements.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),

absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH. Introd. § 409); L οὐχ ὀλίγος, Acts xix. 23; οὐχ ἠγάπησαν, Rev. xii. 11; and contrariwise οὐκ before an aspirate, as οὐκ ἕστηκεν, Jn. viii. 44 T; [οὐκ ἕνεκεν, 2 Co. vii. 12 T]; (οὐκ εὗρον, Lk. xxiv. 3; [οὐκ ὑπάρχει, Acts iii. 6] in cod. x [alsoC*; ef. cod.

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word ξένος (xenos) means foreign or strange, and can refer to a foreigner or a guest. It covers a range of meanings from being alien to something, to the concept of hospitality, where one can be a host or a guest.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef. Ellicott on Phil. iv. 12; on the difference between it and τέ see 8. v. τέ ad init. ] I. It serves as a copulative i.e. to connect (Lat. et, atque, Germ. und) ; 1. it connects single words or terms: a. univ., as of Φαρισαῖοι καὶ Σαδδουκαῖοι, Mt. xvi. 1; ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατήρ, he who is God and Father (see θεός, 3); ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ, Lk. viii. 15; πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως, ΗΘ}. 1. 1; it is repeated before single terms, to each of which its own force and weight is thus given: ἡ υἱοθεσία καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ ai διαθῆκαι καὶ ἡ νομοθεσία καὶ ἡ λατρεία καὶ αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι, Ro. ix. 4 ; ἁγία καὶ δικαία καὶ ἀγαθή, Ro. vii. 12; add, Mt. xxiii. 23; Lk. xiv. 21; Jn. xvi. 8; Acts xv. 20, 29; xxi. 25; Heb. ix. 10; Rey. v. 12; xviii. 12 sq.; ef.

The Greek word πάροικος (i.e., *paroikos*) is formed from the components meaning 'beside' and 'house.' It generally refers to a neighbor or a foreign resident, often implying a sojourner without full citizenship rights. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts contrasting believers with citizens of God's kingdom, notably in Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Peter 2:11.
πάρ-οικος, -ον,
[in LXX chiefly for גֵּר, תּוֹשַׁב;]
in cl. Attic, dwelling near, neighbouring; as subst., a neighbour.
πάρ-οικος, -ov, (παρά and οἶκος) ; 1. in class. Grk. dwelling near, neighboring. 2. in the Scriptures a stranger, foreigner, one who lives in a place without the right of citizenship ; [R. V. sojourner]; Sept. for 93 and AW) (see παροικέω 2, and παροικία, [and cf. Schmidt, Syn. 43,5; L.and S.s.v.]): foll. by ἐν w. dat. of place, Acts vii. 6, 29; metaph. without citizenship in God’s kingdom : joined with ξένος and opp. to συμπολίτης, Eph. ii. 19 (μόνος κύριος ὁ θεὸς πολίτης ἐστί, πάροικον δὲ καὶ ἐπήλυτον τὸ γενητὸν ἅπαν, Philo de cherub. § 34 [οἷς Mangey i. 161 note]); one who lives on earth as a stranger, a sojourner on the earth: joined with παρεπίδημος (q. ν.), of Christians, whose fatherland is heaven, 1 Pet.ii.11. [Cf. Ep. ad Diognet. § 5, 5.]
πάροικος. Hicks (ΟΝ i. p. 5f.) has shown that πάροικος, while never losing the idea of ‘‘a sojourner,” ‘a stranger” (see σῦν. παροικέω, παροικία), is often found in the inscrr. in the sense of the classical μέτοικος to denote ‘a licensed sojourner ” in a town, ** whose protection and status were secured by the payment of a small tax,” as contrasted with ξένος, a mere passing stranger (cf. ΠΕ Ρἢ 215). Add to Hicks’s reff., as bringing out the mixed character of the population in Graeco-Roman towns, an inscr. from Priene (cited by Rouffiac, p. 45), Priene 113% (after B.c. 84), where Zosimus promises to invite τούς τε πολίτας πάντας καὶ πα[ροίκους καὶ κατοίκ]ους καὶ Ῥωμαίους καὶ ξένους καὶ δούλους, and later is praised for offering them a festival, 2m δειπνιεῖν yap τοὺς πο[λ]ίτας πάντας κατὰ φυλὰς Kal τοὺς ἐφηβευκότας τῶν παροίκων καὶ κατοίκων καὶ Ρωμαίους πάντας καὶ τοὺς παρεπιδημοῦντας…

ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστι πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, διότι προσήλυτοι καὶ πάροικοι ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ“ (Lev.
Μετὰ δὴ ταύτην τὴν προφητείαν ἐκέλευσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς παροίκους ἐξαριθμηθῆναι καὶ εὑρέθησαν εἰς ὀκτὼ μυριάδας καὶ δέκα.

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word συμπολίτης (i.e., *sumpolites*) means 'fellow citizen' and is derived from the roots for 'together' and 'city.' It is used in the New Testament to describe those who share the same citizenship, particularly in a spiritual sense, as in Ephesians 2:19, where it contrasts with outsiders. The term has been noted in various ancient texts, though some classical scholars criticized its usage.
* συν-πολίτης (Rec. σνμπ-), -ου, ὁ
a fellow-citizen: pl., σ. τ. ἁγίων, opp. to ξένοι κ. πάροικοι, Eph 2:19 (Eur.; C.I., 6446; condemned by Atticists; v. Rutherford, NPhr., 255 f.).†
συμ-πολίτης [T WH ovr (cf. σύν, IT. fin.)], -ov, 6, (see συμμαθητής and reff.), possessing the same citizenship with others, a fellow-citizen: συμπολῖται τῶν ἁγίων, spoken of Gentiles as received into the communion of the saints i.e. of the people consecrated to God, opp. to ξένοι κ. πάροικοι, Eph. ii. 19. (Eur. Heracl. 826; Joseph. antt. 19, 2,2; Ael. v. h. 3, 44.)
συνπολίτης, “ fellow-citizen,” a comp%. condemned by the Atticists (Rutherford WP p. 255f.), but found in Eph 219: cf. BGU Il. 632° (ii/A.D.) παρὰ ᾿Αντωνε[ίζνου tod συνπολ[ε]ίτου ἡμῶν, Preisigke 4317°%° (c.

The verb occurs in what appears to be a school exercise written on the verso of P Oxy I. 79 (A.D. 181-192), where, after a reference to the death of someone, the writer continues σὺν τοῖς o[tplatidtais . . . συμπολιτευόμεθα.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word ἅγιος (i.e., *hagios*) means holy or sacred, derived from a root indicating reverence. It refers to things and places dedicated to God, such as temples, and to persons, including angels and saints. In the New Testament, it is often applied to God, Christ, and believers, emphasizing moral purity and separation for divine service. Notably, it can also imply a sense of veneration.
‘Iepos, probably the same word as the German ‘hehr’ (see Curtius, Grundziige, vol. v. p. 369), never in the N. T., and very seldom elsewhere, implies any moral excellence. It is singular how seldom the word is found there, indeed only twice (1 Cor. ix. 13; 2 Tim. iii. 15) ; and only once in the Septuagint (Josh. vi. 8: ἱεραὶ cadrvyyes); four times in 2 Maccabees, but not else in the Apocrypha; being in none of these instances employed of persons, who only are moral agents, but always of things. To persons the word elsewhere also is of rarest application, though examples are not wanting. Thus ἱερὸς ἄνθρωπος is in Aristophanes (Rane, 652) a man initiated in the mysteries ; kings for 328 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. § uxxxvut.

sants: In the King James Version 3 words are thus rendered:
(1) qadhosh (in Da the same root occurs several times in its Aramaic form, qaddish);
(2) chacidh, and
(3) hagioi.
Of these words (2) has in general the meaning of righteousness or goodness, while (1) and (3) have the meaning of consecration and divine claim and ownership. They are not primarily words of character, like chacidh, but express a relation to God as being set apart for His own. Wherever qadhosh refers to angels, the rendering "holy one" or "holy ones" has been substituted in the Revised Version (British and American) for the King James Version "saint" or "saints," which is the case also in Ps 106:16 margin (compare 34:9), and in 1Sa 2:9, as the translation of chacidh.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word οἰκεῖος (lemma: oikeios) is derived from οἶκος and means 'of the house' or 'domestic.' It refers to household matters, family relations, or kinship, contrasting with outsiders. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts discussing family responsibilities (1 Tim 5:8) and spiritual kinship (Eph 2:19, Gal 6:10). The lexicons note its use for both physical and metaphorical family ties.
οἰκεῖος, -α, -ον
(< οἶκος),
[in LXX for דּוֹד, שְׁאֵר, etc.; in Is 58:7, οἰ. τοῦ σπέρματος for בָּשָׂר;]
in or of the house (opp. to ξένος, ἀλλότριος);
of things; τὰ οἰ., household affairs or goods;
of persons, of the same family or kin; as subst., οἱ οἰ., kinsmen: I Ti 5:8; c. gen. pers., of the family of: metaph., τ. θεοῦ, Eph 2:19; τ. πίστεως (Lft., in l.), Ga 6:10.†
SYN.: συγγενής, ἴδιος (v. Cremer, 446; Deiss., BS., 123).
οἰκεῖος, -a, τον, (οἶκος), fr. Hes. down, belonging to a house or family, domestic, intimate: belonging to one’s household, related by blood, kindred, 1 Tim. v. 8; οἰκεῖοι tov θεοῦ, belonging to God’s household, i. 6. to the theocracy, Eph. ii. 19; in a wider sense, with a gen. of the thing, belonging to, devoted to, adherents of a thing, οἱ οἰκεῖοι τῆς πίστεως, professors of the (Christian) faith, Gal. vi. 10 [but al. associate this pass. with that fr. Eph. as above; see Bp. Lghtft. ad loc.]; so otk. φιλοσοφίας, Strab. 1 p. 13 Ὁ. [1, 17 ed. Sieben.]; γεωγραφίας, p. 25 a. [1, 34 ed. Sieben.]; ὀλιγαρχίας, Diod. 13, 91; τυραννίδος, 19, 70. (Sept. for Ww related by blood ; 37, 1S. x. 14 sqq.; TN, consanguinity, Lev. xviii. 17; οἶκ. τοῦ σπέρματος for wa, Is. lviii. 7.)
οἰκεῖος VIII. ττ658 (vi/a.p.), and 7. VI. 9423 (vi/vii a.p.): cf. 2 Cor 125. In 2.8 and 1 Cor 115 Field (Mores, Ρ- 187) suggests that οἶδα might be rendered ‘‘I remember,” and cites Lucian Dial. Meretr. i. 1: οἶσθα αὐτόν, ἢ ἐπιλέλησαι Tov ἄνθρωπον ; οὐκ, ἀλλ᾽ οἶδα, ὦ Γλυκέριον. The meaning “ἀρργεοίαξε,᾿᾿ ‘‘respect,”’ in 1 Thess 515 can now be paralleled from P Goodspeed 37 (ili/B.c.) (= Wthowski>, p. 47) ἔδο]ξέ [μο]ι ν[ῦ]ν περὶ τοῦ ὁράματος διασαφῆσαί σοι, ὅπως εἰδῆις, ὃν τρόπον οἱ θεοί σε οἴδασιν, where the meaning apparently is, ‘‘in order that you may know as clearly as the gods know you.” Notice also in the above the early occurrence of the Hellenistic οἴδασιν. The literary ἴσασιν is found in the NT only in Ac 264: cf. Blass Philology, p. 9. Eph 5° ἴστε γινώσκοντες is sometimes treated as a Hebraism (‘‘ye know of a surety”” RV: cf. Gen 15%), but the verbs are different, and the…

hous'-hold: Three words are usually found in the Bible where the family is indicated. These three are the Hebrew word bayith and the Greek words oikia and oikos. The unit of the national life of Israel, from the very beginning, was found in the family. In the old patriarchal days each family was complete within itself, the oldest living sire being the unquestioned head of the whole, possessed of almost arbitrary powers. The house and the household are practically synonymous. God had called Abraham "that he might command his children and household after him" (Ge 18:19). The Passover-lamb was to be eaten by the "household" (Ex 12:3). The "households" of the rebels in the camp of Israel shared their doom (Nu 16:31-33;

Counted over the 14 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

God
(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are:
(1.) The a priori argument, which is the testimony afforded by reason.
(good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being--ELOHIM, commonly translated God in our version, and JEHOVAH, translated Lord . Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form EL (a word signifying strength , as in EL-SHADDAI, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. (Genesis 17:1; 28:3; Exodus 6:3) The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect , and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it…
This name, the derivation of which is uncertain, we give to that eternal, infinite, perfect, and incomprehensible Being, the Creator of all things, who preserves and governs all by his almighty power and wisdom, and is the only proper object of worship. The proper Hebrew name for God is JEHOVAH, which signifies He is. But the Jews, from a feeling of reverence, avoid pronouncing this name, substituting for it, wherever it occurs in the sacred test, the word ADONAI, Lord; except in the expression, ADONAI JEHOVAH, Lord Jehovah, for which they put, ADONAI ELOHIM, Lord God. This usage, which is not without an element of superstition, is very ancient, dating its origin some centuries before Christ; but there is no good ground for assuming its existence in the days of the inspired Old Testament writers. The proper word for God is ELOHIM, which is plural in its form, being thus used to signify…
