Honest, Honesty
onest, ones-ti: The word honest in the New Testament in the King James Version generally represents the adjective , kalos, good, excellent, honorable, and, with the exception of Luk 8:15, honest and good heart, is changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into the more correct honorable (Rom 12:17; 2Co 8:21; 2Co 13:7; Phi 4:8); in 1Pe 2:12, into seemly. In the American Standard Revised Version honestly in Heb 13:18 is rendered honorably, and in 1Th 4:12 (here euschemonos) is rendered becomingly. The noun honesty occurs but once in the King James Version as the translation of , semnotes (1Ti 2:2), and in the Revised Version (British and American) is more appropriately rendered gravity.
