See POSSESS, PROVIDE, PURCHASE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to be strong,” also means “to get possession of, obtain,” e.g., in Act 27:13<\/span>, “they had obtained (their purpose).” See HOLD. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to take, to receive,” is translated by the verb “to obtain” in 1Co 9:25<\/span>; Phi 3:12<\/span>, RV, “(not that) I have (already) obtained” (contrast katantao, “to attain,” Phi 3:11<\/span>); Moule translates it “not that I have already received,” i.e., the prize; the verb does not signify “to attain;” Heb 4:16<\/span>, AV, “obtain.” See ACCEPT, No. 4. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n denotes “to find;” in the Middle Voice, “to find for oneself, to procure, get, obtain,” with the suggestion of accomplishing the end which had been in view; so in Heb 9:12<\/span>, “having obtained (eternal redemption).” Notes: (1) In 1Co 9:24<\/span>, AV, katalambano, a strengthened form of No. 6 (kata, used intensively), is translated “obtain” (RV, “attain”).

Isa 43:21<\/span>; (c) preservation; this may be the meaning in Heb 10:39<\/span>, “saving” (RV marg., “gaining”); cp. the corresponding verb in Luk 17:33<\/span> (in the best texts), “preserve.” In the Sept. the noun has the meaning (b) in Hag 2:10<\/span>; Mal 3:17<\/span>, (c) in 2Ch 14:13<\/span>. <\/p>\n Obtain, Obtaining “to meet with, light upon,” also signifies “to obtain, attain to, reach, get” (with regard to things), translated “to obtain” in Act 26:22, of “the help that is from God;” 2Ti 2:10, of “the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory;” Heb 8:6, of the ministry obtained by Christ; Heb 11:35, … Continue reading “Obtain, Obtaining”<\/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-71359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71359","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=71359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71359\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71359"}],"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":"
