53.44 · Religious Activities · Dedicate, Consecrate
consecration, dedication action of being dedicated to the service of and loyalty to deity Though in certain contexts ἁγιάζω[a] and ἁγιασμός suggest resulting moral behavior, the emphasis is not upon a manner of life but upon religious activity and observances which reflect one’s dedication or consecration to God. Accordingly, in 1CO 1:2 one may translate ἁγιάζω as ‘who have given themselves to God’ or ‘who serve God with a whole heart.’

Hal. 1, 21, ἁγισμός is the more correct reading), signifying 1. consecration, purification, τὸ ἁγιάζειν. 2. the effect of consecration: sanctification of heart and life, 1 Co. i. 30 (Christ is he to whom we are indebted for sanctification) ; 1 Th. iv. 7; Ro. vi. 19, 22, 1 Tim. ii. 15; Heb. xii. 14; ἁγιασμὸς πνεύματος sanctification wrought by the Holy Spirit, 2 Th. ii. 13; 1 Pet.i.2.

Abbott-Smith Greek Lexicon
† ἁγιασμός, -οῦ, ὁ
(< ἁγιάζω), [in LXX: Ez 45:4 (מִקְדָּשׁ), Si 7:31, etc.;]
as an active verbal noun in -μός, it signifies properly the process τὸ ἁγιάζειν, rather than the resultant state, ἁγιωσύνη, hence, consecration;
sanctification: so strictly in Ro 6:19, 22 (but v. Meyer), I Co 1:30, I Th 4:3, 7, II Th 2:13, He 12:14, I Pe 1:2. Elsewhere it perhaps (Ellic.; but v. Milligan, Th., 48) inclines to the resultant state: I Th 4:4, I Ti 2:15 (Cremer, 55, 602).†
