is properly an adjective denoting “belonging to a foundation” (connected with tithemi, “to place”). It is used (1) as a noun, with lithos, “a stone,” understood, in Luk 6:48-49<\/span>; Luk 14:29<\/span>; Heb 11:10<\/span>; Rev 21:14<\/span>, Rev 21:19<\/span>; (2) as a neuter noun in Act 16:26<\/span>, and metaphorically, (a) of “the ministry of the Gospel and the doctrines of the faith,” Rom 15:20<\/span>; 1Co 3:10-12<\/span>; Eph 2:20<\/span>, where the “of” is not subjective (i.e., consisting of the apostles and prophets), but objective, (i.e., laid by the apostles, etc.); so in 2Ti 2:19<\/span>, where “the foundation of God” is “the foundation laid by God,” — not the Church (which is not a “foundation”), but Christ Himself, upon whom the saints are built; Heb 6:1<\/span>; (b) “of good works,” 1Ti 6:19<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n lit., “a casting down,” is used (a) of “conceiving seed,” Heb 11:11<\/span>; (b) of “a foundation,” as that which is laid down, or in the sense of founding; metaphorically, of “the foundation of the world;” in this respect two phrases are used, (1) “from the foundation of the world,” Mat 25:34<\/span> (in the most authentic mss. in Mat 13:35<\/span> there is no phrase representing “of the world”); Luk 11:50<\/span>; Heb 4:3<\/span>; Heb 9:26<\/span>; Rev 13:8<\/span>; Rev 17:8<\/span>; (2) “before the foundation of the world,” Joh 17:24<\/span>; Eph 1:4<\/span>; 1Pe 1:20<\/span>. The latter phrase looks back to the past eternity. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to lay a foundation, to found” (akin to A, No. 1), is used (a) literally, Mat 7:25<\/span>; Luk 6:48<\/span>; Heb 1:10<\/span>; (b) metaphorically, Eph 3:17<\/span>, “grounded (in love);” Col 1:23<\/span> (ditto, “in the faith”); 1Pe 5:10<\/span>, AV, “settle.” See GROUND, SETTLE. <\/p>\n Foundation (to lay), Founded is properly an adjective denoting “belonging to a foundation” (connected with tithemi, “to place”).
