Difference between revisions of "Aged"

<div> '''A — 1: πρεσβύτης ''' (Strong'S #4246 — Noun Masculine — presbutes — pres-boo'-tace ) </div> <p> "an elderly man," is a longer form of presbus, the comparative degree of which is presbuteros, "a senior, elder," both of which, as also the verb presbeuo, "to be elder, to be an ambassador," are derived from proeisbaino, "to be far advanced." The noun is found in &nbsp;Luke 1:18 , "an old man;" &nbsp;Titus 2:2 , "aged men," and &nbsp;Philemon 1:9 , where the RV marg., "Paul an ambassador," is to be accepted, the original almost certainly being presbeutes (not presbutes), "an ambassador." So he describes himself in &nbsp;Ephesians 6:20 . As Lightfoot points out, he is hardly likely to have made his age a ground of appeal to Philemon, who, if he was the father of Archippus, cannot have been much younger than Paul himself. See Old. </p> <div> '''A — 2: πρεσβῦτις ''' (Strong'S #4247 — Noun [[Feminine]] — presbutis — pres-boo'-tis ) </div> <p> the feminine of No. 1, "an aged woman," is found in &nbsp;Titus 2:3 . </p> <div> '''B — 1: γηράσκω ''' (Strong'S #1095 — Verb — gerasko — ghay-ras'-ko ) </div> <p> from geras, "old age," signifies "to grow old," &nbsp;John 21:18 ("when thou shalt be old") and &nbsp; Hebrews 8:13 (RV, "that which... waxeth aged," AV, "old"). See Old. </p>
