Six Greek expressions are thus translated in the EV_.<\/p>\n
1. is rendered thus frequently in the AV_. It means, more exactly, authority, which the RV_ often substitutes, but sometimes, especially in Rev., it follows the AV_. The Revisers prefer right in Rom 9:21, 1Co 9:4 f., 2Th 3:9. In Act 26:18 the expression the power () of Satan is to be noted, with which compare Luk 22:53, Col 1:13.<\/p>\n
2. .-We find the power of God in 1Co 1:18; 1Co 1:24; 1Co 2:5, 2Co 6:7; the power of our Lord Jesus in 1Co 5:4; the power of the Holy Ghost in Rom 15:13; Rom 15:19 in Act 8:10 that power of God which is called Great is a title given to Simon Magus. There is a strange variation in the RV_ of 2Co 12:9, where is twice used as an attribute of Christ; on the first occasion it renders my power is made perfect in weakness (AV_ my strength), but on the second (where the AV_ has power) it gives that the strength of Christ may rest upon me, Elsewhere power is uniformly used by the RV_, replacing might and strength of the AV_ (cf. Eph 1:21, Col 1:11, Rev 12:10).<\/p>\n
3. is rendered power by the AV_ in Eph 1:19; Eph 6:10, Col 1:11, Rev 5:13, 1Ti 6:16, Heb 2:14; in the last two references the RV_ also translates in the same way.<\/p>\n
4. (2Th 1:9) is rendered AV_ power, RV_ might.<\/p>\n
5. .-In Rom 9:22 AV_ and RV_ have willing to make his power known, i.e. what is possible to Him.<\/p>\n
6. is translated in Rom 16:25 to him that is of power; RV_ to him that is able.<\/p>\n
Lastly, in Rev. the AV_ sometimes inserts the word power from the sense, where there is no Greek to correspond, e.g. Rev 6:4, power was given to him ( ); cf. Rev 11:3, Rev 13:15, Rev 16:3, in all of which the word disappears from the RV_.<\/p>\n
The plural powers represents in Heb 6:5, Rom 8:38; 1Pe 3:22; in the last two references angelic beings seem to be meant, as also in Eph 1:21 and 1Co 15:24 (singular). Powers is used by the AV_ and the RV_ for (another class of angels) in Eph 3:10; Eph 6:12, Col 1:16; Col 2:15, and in Rom 13:1-3 in the sense of earthly rulers. In Tit 3:1 the AV_ gives powers, the RV_ authorities (q.v._). See, further, art._ Principality.<\/p>\n
