Account (-ed) (Verbs and Noun)
primarily, “to be of opinion, think, suppose,” also signifies “to seem, be accounted, reputed,” translated “accounted” in Mar 10:42; Luk 22:24. It is not used ironically here, nor in Gal 2:2, Gal 2:6, Gal 2:9, “those who were of repute.” See REPUTE, SEEM, SUPPOSE, THINK.
(or-AO) “to put to a person’s account,” Phm 1:18, is used of sin in Rom 5:13, “reckon” (AV, “impute”). See IMPUTE, No. 2.
primarily signifies “to lead;” then, “to consider;” it is translated “accounting” in Heb 11:26, RV (AV, “esteeming”); 2Pe 3:15, “account.” See CHIEF, COUNT, ESTEEM, GOVERNOR, JUDGE, RULE, SUPPOSE THINK.
primarily signifies “to reckon,” whether by calculation or imputation, e.g., Gal 3:6 (RV, “reckoned”); then, to deliberate, and so to suppose, “account,” Rom 8:36; Rom 14:14 (AV, “esteemeth”); Joh 11:50; 1Co 4:1; Heb 11:19; (AV, “consider”); Act 19:27 (“made of no account;” AV, “despised”); 1Pe 5:12 (AV, “suppose”). It is used of love in 1Co 13:5, as not taking “account” of evil, RV (AV, “thinketh”). In 2Co 3:5 the Apostle uses it in repudiation of idea that he and fellow-servants of God are so self-sufficient as to “account anything” (RV) as from themselves (AV, “think”), i.e., as to attribute anything to themselves. Cp. 2Co 12:6. In 2Ti 4:16 it is used of laying to a person’s “account” (RV) as a charge against him (AV, “charge”).
Note: In Phi 4:8 it signifies “to think upon a matter by way of taking account of its character” (RV marg.). See CONCLUDE, COUNT, CHARGE, ESTEEM, IMPUTE, NUMBER, REASON, RECKON, SUPPOSE, THINK.
denotes “to account worthy” (kata, “intensive,” axios, “worthy”), “to judge worthy,” Luk 20:35; some mss. have it in Luk 21:36 (so the AV); the most authentic mss. have the verb katischuo, “to prevail;” Act 5:41, “were counted worthy;” so 2Th 1:5.
“to make of no account,” frequently signifies “to despise.” In 1Co 6:4, it is used, not in a contemptuous sense, but of gentile judges, before whom the saints are not to go to law with one another, such magistrates having no place, and therefore being “of no account” (RV), in the church. The Apostle is not speaking of any believers as “least esteemed” (AV). In 2Co 10:10, for AV, “contemptible,” the RV suitably has “of no account.” See DESPISE.
