is the comparative degree of megas (see GREAT, No. 1), e.g., Mat 11:11<\/span>; in Mat 13:32<\/span>, the RV rightly has “greater than” (AV, “the greatest among”); Mat 23:17<\/span>; in Luk 22:26<\/span>, RV, “the greater (among you)” (AV, “greatest”); in Jam 3:1<\/span>, RV, “the heavier (marg., greater) judgment” (AV, “the greater condemnation”); it is used in the neuter plural in Joh 1:50<\/span>, “greater things;” in Joh 14:12<\/span>, “greater works” (lit., “greater things”); in 1Co 12:31<\/span>, RV, “the greater,” AV, “the best.” See GREATEST, No. 2. <\/p>\n Note: In Mat 20:31<\/span>, the neuter of meizon, used as an adverb, is translated “the more.” See MORE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a double comparative of megas (cp. No. 1, above), is used in 3Jo 1:4<\/span>, of joy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n the comparative of polus (see GREAT, No. 2), is used (a) as an adjective, “greater, more,” e.g., Act 15:28<\/span>; (b) as a noun, e.g., Mat 12:41<\/span>, “a greater (than Jonah);” Mat 12:42<\/span>, “a greater (than Solomon);” in these instances the neuter pleion, “something greater,” is “a fixed or stereotyped form” of the word; in 1Co 15:6<\/span>, “the greater part” (masculine plural); (c) as an adverb, e.g., Mat 5:20<\/span>, lit., “(except your righteousness abound) more greatly (than of scribes and Pharisees);” so Mat 26:53<\/span>, “more;” Luk 9:13<\/span>. See ABOVE, LONGER, MANY, MORE, MOST, YET. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n the comparative of perissos, “over and above, abundant,” signifies “more abundant, greater,” e.g., of condemnation, Mar 12:40<\/span>; Luk 20:47<\/span>. See ABUNDANT, C, No. 2. <\/p>\n Greater is the comparative degree of megas (see GREAT, No. 1), e.g., Mat 11:11; in Mat 13:32, the RV rightly has “greater than” (AV, “the greatest among”); Mat 23:17; in Luk 22:26, RV, “the greater (among you)” (AV, “greatest”); in Jam 3:1, RV, “the heavier (marg., greater) judgment” (AV, “the greater condemnation”); it is used … Continue reading “Greater”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51847\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
