Convince
Convince
CONVINCE.Adams (Serm. ii. 38) says: Whatsoever is written is written either for our instruction or destruction; to convert us if we embrace it, to convince us if we despise it. This is the meaning of convince in the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . It is what we now express by convict. Thus Jud 1:15 to convince all that are ungodly among them of their ungodly deeds.

Convince
kon-vins (, elegcho): Another form etymologically of convict, means to bring to a decision concerning the truth or the falsehood of a proposition (Job 32:12). As usually applied to what is of a more individual and private character, and having reference to what is either good or bad, or what is in itself without moral quality, it has given way in the Revised Version (British and American) to either convict, reprove or confute. See CONVICT.
