denotes “heavy, burdensome;” it is always used metaphorically in the NT, and is translated “heavy” in Mat 23:4<\/span>, of Pharisaical ordinances; in the comparative degree “weightier,” Mat 23:23<\/span>, of details of the law of God; “grievous,” metaphorically of wolves, in Act 20:29<\/span>; of charges, Act 25:7<\/span>; negatively of God’s commandments, 1Jo 5:3<\/span> (causing a burden on him who fulfills them); in 2Co 10:10<\/span>, “weighty,” of Paul’s letters. See HEAVY, WEIGHTY. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “painful, bad,” is translated “grievous” in Rev 16:2<\/span>, of a sore inflicted retributively. See BAD. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “hard to be borne” (from dus, an inseparable prefix, like Eng. “mis—,” and “un—,” indicating “difficulty, injuriousness, opposition,” etc., and bastazo, “to bear”), is used in Luk 11:46<\/span> and, in some mss., in Mat 23:4<\/span>, “grievous to be borne;” in the latter the RV marg. has “many ancient authorities omit.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “hard,” signifies (a) “hard to deal with,” Mat 8:28<\/span> (see FIERCE); (b) “hard to bear, grievous,” 2Ti 3:1<\/span>, RV, “greivous” (AV, “perilous”), said of a characteristic of the last days of this age. See FIERCE. <\/p>\n Notes: (1) For the noun lupe, “grievous,” in Heb 12:11<\/span>, see GRIEF. (2) In Phi 3:1<\/span>, the adjective okneros, “shrinking,” or “causing shrinking,” hence, “tedious” (akin to okneo, “to shrink”), is rendered “irksome” in the RV (AV, “grievous”); the Apostle intimates that, not finding his message tedious, he has no hesitation in giving it. In Mat 25:26<\/span>; Rom 12:11<\/span>, “slothful.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n akin to deos, “fear,” signifies (a) “terribly,” Mat 8:6<\/span>, “grievously (tormented);” (b) “vehemently,” Luk 11:53<\/span>. See VEHEMENTLY. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “badly, ill,” is translated “grievously (vexed),” in Mat 15:22<\/span>. See AMISS, EVIL, MISERABLY, SORE. <\/p>\n Notes: (1) In Mar 9:20<\/span>; Luk 9:42<\/span>, the RV renders the verb susparasso “tare (him) grievously,” the adverb bringing out the intensive force of the prefix su— (i.e., sun); the meaning may be “threw violently to the ground.” (2) In Mat 17:15<\/span>, the idiomatic phrase, consisting of No. 2 (above) with echo, “to have,” (lit., “hath badly”), is rendered “suffereth grievously,” RV (AV, “is … sore vexed”). <\/p>\n Grievous, Grievously denotes “heavy, burdensome;” it is always used metaphorically in the NT, and is translated “heavy” in Mat 23:4, of Pharisaical ordinances; in the comparative degree “weightier,” Mat 23:23, of details of the law of God; “grievous,” metaphorically of wolves, in Act 20:29; of charges, Act 25:7; negatively of God’s commandments, 1Jo 5:3 (causing … Continue reading “Grievous, Grievously”<\/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-52083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52083","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=52083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52083\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52083"}],"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":"
