Difference between revisions of "Promise"

<div> '''A — 1: '''''Ἐπαγγελία''''' ''' (Strong'S #1860 — Noun [[Feminine]] — epangelia — ep-ang-el-ee'-ah ) </div> <p> primarily a law term, denoting "a summons" (epi, "upon," angello, "to proclaim, announce"), also meant "an undertaking to do or give something, a promise." Except in &nbsp;Acts 23:21 it is used only of the "promises" of God. It frequently stands for the thing "promised," and so signifies a gift graciously bestowed, not a pledge secured by negotiation; thus, in &nbsp; Galatians 3:14 , "the promise of the Spirit" denotes "the promised Spirit:" cp. &nbsp;Luke 24:49; &nbsp;Acts 2:33; &nbsp;Ephesians 1:13; so in &nbsp;Hebrews 9:15 , "the promise of the eternal inheritance" is "the promised eternal inheritance." On the other hand, in &nbsp;Acts 1:4 , "the promise of the Father," is the "promise" made by the Father. </p> &nbsp;Galatians 3:16&nbsp;Genesis 12:1-3&nbsp;13:14-17&nbsp;15:18&nbsp;17:1-14&nbsp;22:15-18&nbsp;Romans 9:4&nbsp;Hebrews 6:12&nbsp;7:6&nbsp;8:6&nbsp;11:17&nbsp;Galatians 3&nbsp; Galatians 3:21&nbsp;Galatians 4:23,28&nbsp;Ephesians 2:12&nbsp;2 Corinthians 1:20&nbsp; Hebrews 11:33&nbsp;Hebrews 7:6&nbsp;Ephesians 6:2&nbsp;1 Timothy 4:8&nbsp;2 Timothy 1:1&nbsp;Hebrews 4:1&nbsp;2 Peter 3:4,9&nbsp;1 John 1:5&nbsp;Acts 26:6&nbsp;Romans 4:20&nbsp;1 John 2:25&nbsp;Romans 9:8&nbsp;15:8&nbsp;Galatians 3:29&nbsp;Hebrews 11:9&nbsp;Romans 4:13,14&nbsp;Galatians 3:14-22&nbsp;Hebrews 10:36 <div> '''A — 2: '''''Ἐπάγγελμα''''' ''' (Strong'S #1862 — Noun Neuter — epangelma — ep-ang'-el-mah ) </div> <p> denotes "a promise made," &nbsp;2 Peter 1:4; &nbsp;3:13 . </p> <div> '''B — 1: '''''Ἐπαγγέλλομαι''''' ''' (Strong'S #1861 — Verb — epangello — ep-ang-el'-lo ) </div> <p> "to announce, proclaim," has in the NT the two meanings "to profess" and "to promise," each used in the Middle Voice; "to promise" (a) of "promises" of God, &nbsp;Acts 7:5; &nbsp;Romans 4:21; in &nbsp;Galatians 3:19 , Passive Voice; &nbsp;Titus 1:2; &nbsp;Hebrews 6:13; &nbsp;10:23; &nbsp;11:11; &nbsp;12:26; &nbsp;James 1:12; &nbsp;2:5; &nbsp;1 John 2:25; (b) made by men, &nbsp;Mark 14:11; &nbsp;2 Peter 2:19 .
