φορέω, -; fut. φορέσω [1 Co. xv. 49 RG WH mrg.]; 1 aor. ἐφόρεσα, (later forms for the earlier φορήσω and ἐφόρησα, cf. Btim. Ausf. Spr. ii. 315; Kiihner [and esp. Veitch]s. v.; W. §13,3c.; [B. 37 (32)]); (frequent. of φέρω, and differing from it by denoting not the simple and transient act of bearing, but a continuous or habitual bearing ; cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 585sq.; Hermann on Soph. Electr. 715; [Trench § lviii.; Schmidt, ch. 105, 6]; accordingly, ἀγγελίην φέρειν means ‘to carry a (single) message’, Hdt. 3,53 and 122; ἀγγελίην φορέειν, ‘to serve as (fill the office of) a messenger’, Hdt. 3, 34; hence we are said φορεῖν those things which we carry about with us or wear, as 6. g. our clothing) ; fr. Hom. down; fo bear constantly, wear: of clothing, garments, armor, etc., Mt. xi. 8; Jn. xix. 5; Ro. xiii. 4 (on this pass. see pdyatpa, 2); 1 Co. xv. 49 [see above, and WH.

to bear; to wear, Mt. 11:8; Jn. 19:5; Rom. 13:4; 1 Cor. 15:49; Jas. 2:3

φορέω, -ῶ

[in LXX: Pr 16:23 (יָסַף hi.), Si 11:5, al. ;]

frequent. of φέρω, denoting repeated or habitual action (cf. Tr., Syn., § lviii), most commonly used of clothing, weapons, etc., to bear constantly, wear: Mt 11:8, Jo 19:5, Ro 13:4, I Co 15:49, Ja 2:3.†

On the distinction between these words Lobeck (Phrynichus, p. 585) has the following remarks: ‘ Inter φέρω et φορέω hoc interesse constat, quod iilud actionem simplicem et transitoriam, hoc autem actionis ejusdem continuationem significat ; verbi caus ἀγγελίην φέρειν, est alicujus rei nuncium afferre, Herod. iii. 53 et 122; v.143 ἀγγελίην φορέειν, ili. 34, nuncii munere apud aliquem fungi. Hine et φορεῖν dicimur ea que nobiscum circumferimus, quibus amicti indutique sumus, ut ἱμάτιον, τριβώνιον, δακτύλιον φορεῖν, tum que ad habitum corporis pertinent.’ He proceeds, however, to acknowledge that this distinction is by no means constantly observed even by the best Greek authors. It is, therefore, the more noticeable, as an example of that accuracy which so often takes us by surprise in the use of words by the writers of the N. T., that they are always true to this rule. On the six occasions upon which φορεῖν occurs (Matt. xi. 8; John xix. 5: Rom. xiii. 4; 1 Cor. xv. 49, bis; Jam. 11. 3), it invariably expresses, not an accidental and temporary, but an habitual and continuous, bearing. ‘Sic enim differt φορεῖν ἃ φέρειν, ut hoe sit ferre, illud ferre solere’ (Fritzsche, on Matt. xi. 8). A sentence in Plutarch (Apoph. Reg.), in which both words occur, illustrates very well their different uses. Of Xerxes he tells us: ὀργισθεὶς δὲ Βαβυλωνίοις ἀποστᾶσι, καὶ κρατήσας, προσέταξεν ὅπλα μὴ φέρειν, GAAA ψάλλειν καὶ αὐλεῖν καὶ πορνοβοσκεῖν καὶ καπηλεύειν, καὶ φορεῖν κολπωτοὺς χιτῶναθ. Arms would only be borne on special occasions, therefore φέρειν ; but garments are habitually worn, therefore this is in the second clause exchanged for popetv. 214 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. § ux.
