<div> 1: Θειότης (Strong'S #2305 [[Noun]] [[Feminine]] theiotes thi-ot'-ace ) </div> <p> "divinity," the RV rendering in Romans 1:20 (AV, "Godhead"), is derived from theios (see [[Divine]] , A), and is to be distinguished from theotes, in Colossians 2:9 , "Godhead." In Romans 1:20 the [[Apostle]] "is declaring how much of [[God]] may be known from the revelation of Himself which He has made in nature, from those vestiges of Himself which men may everywhere trace in the world around them. [[Yet]] it is not the personal God whom any man may learn to know by these aids; He can be known only by the revelation of Himself in His Son; ... But in the second passage ( Colossians 2:9 ), [[Paul]] is declaring that in the [[Son]] there dwells all the fullness of absolute Godhead; they were no mere rays of [[Divine]] glory which gilded Him, lighting up His [[Person]] for a season and with a splendor not His own; but He was, and is, absolute and perfect God; and the Apostle uses theotes to express this essential and personal [[Godhead]] of the Son" (Trench, Syn. ii). Theotes indicates the "Divine" essence of Godhood, the personality of God; theiotes, the attributes of God, His "Divine" nature and properties. See Godhead. </p> | |||
