Vincent, [1886]\nSpeak thou (\u03bb\u03ac\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9)\nSee on Mat 28:18; see on Joh 8:26.\nBecome (\u03c0\u03c1\u03ad\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9)\nOriginally, to stand out; be conspicuous. Thus Homer, Od. viii. 172: \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u1f70 \u03b4\u1f72 \u03c0\u03c1\u03ad\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9 \u1f00\u03b3\u03c1\u03bf\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd he is conspicuous among those who are assembled.

Hence, to become conspicuously fit; to become; beseem. In N.T. in the impersonal forms \u03c0\u03c1\u03ad\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd \u1f10\u03c3\u03c4\u1f76\u03bd it is becoming (Mat 3:15); \u03c0\u03c1\u03ad\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9 it becometh (Eph 5:3); \u1f14\u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c0\u03b5\u03bd it became (Heb 2:10).

To be understood of natural age, not of ecclesiastical position. Note that 1 Timothy 3, in treating of church officers, deals only with Bishops and Deacons. Nothing is said of Presbyters until chapter verse, where Timothy's relations to individual members of the church are prescribed. These church members are classified in this and the following verses as old men, old women, younger men, servants. In lxx \u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03b2\u03cd\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 is occasionally interchanged with \u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03b2\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u03ae\u03c2 ambassador.

See on \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae apparel, Ti1 2:9. It means, primarily, condition or state. Once in lxx, 3 Macc 5:45, \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9\u1ff6\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2 the maddened state into which the war-elephants were excited. Hence the state in which one habitually bears himself - his deportment or demeanor.\nAs becometh holiness (\u1f31\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c0\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c2)\nN.T.o. lxx, 4 Macc. 9:25; 11:20. In the Theages (wrongly ascribed to Plato), \u03c4\u1ff7 \u03c5\u1f31\u03b5\u1fd6 \u03c4\u1f78 \u1f44\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1 \u1f14\u03b8\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f31\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03c2 you have given your son (Theages) an honorable and reverend name (122 D). It means beseeming a sacred place, person, or matter. Thus Athenaeus, vii, of one who had given a sacred banquet, says that the table was ornamented \u1f31\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1 in a manner most appropriate to the sacred circumstances. The meaning here is becoming those who are engaged in sacred service. This is the more striking if, as there is reason to believe, the \u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03b2\u03cd\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2 represented a quasi-official position in the church.

N.T.o. olxx. The verb means to make sane or sober-minded; to recall a person to his senses; hence, to moderate, chasten, discipline.\nTo love their husbands, to love their children (\u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03ac\u03bd\u03b4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03b5\u1f36\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9, \u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03c4\u03ad\u03ba\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2)\nLit. to be husband-lovers, children-lovers.

A few times in lxx, always with \u03bb\u03b1\u03cc\u03c2. See Exo 19:5; Exo 23:22; Deu 7:6; Deu 14:2; Deu 26:18. The phrase was originally applied to the people of Israel, but is transferred here to believers in the Messiah - Jews and Gentiles. Comp. Pe1 2:10. \u03a0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03cd\u03c3\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 is from the participle of \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 to be over and above: hence \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 abundance, plenty. \u03a0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03cd\u03c3\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 also means possessed over and above, that is, specially selected for one's own; exempt from ordinary laws of distribution. Hence correctly represented by peculiar, derived from peculium, a private purse, a special acquisition of a member of a family distinct from the property administered for the good of the whole family. Accordingly the sense is given in Eph 1:14, where believers are said to have been sealed \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2 \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03cd\u03c4\u03c1\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03c2 with a view to redemption of possession, or redemption which will give possession, thus = acquisition. So Pe1 2:9, where Christians are styled \u03bb\u03b1\u1f78\u03c2 \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b7\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd a people for acquisition, to be acquired by God as his peculiar possession.
