<div> [['''A]]  1: μέριμνα ''' (Strong'S #3308  Noun [[Feminine]]  merimna  mer'-im-nah ) </div> <p> probably connected with merizo, "to draw in different directions, distract," hence signifies "that which causes this, a care, especially an anxious care," &nbsp;Matthew 13:22; &nbsp;Mark 4:19; &nbsp;Luke 8:14; &nbsp;21:34; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 11:28 [[(Rv,]] "anxiety for"); &nbsp; 1 Peter 5:7 [[(Rv,]] "anxiety"). See [[Anxiety.]] </p> &nbsp;Matthew 28:14&nbsp;1 Corinthians 7:32 <div> [['''A]]  2: σπουδή ''' (Strong'S #4710  Noun Feminine  spoude  spoo-day' ) </div> <p> primarily "haste, zeal, diligence," hence means "earnest care, carefulness," &nbsp;2 Corinthians 7:11,12; &nbsp;8:16 [[(Rv,]] "earnest care," in each place). Merimna conveys the thought of anxiety, spoude, of watchful interest and earnestness. See [[Business]] , [[Diligence]] [[(A,]] No. 2), [[Earnestness,]] [[Forwardness,]] [[Haste.]] </p> <div> [['''B]]  1: μεριμνάω ''' (Strong'S #3309  Verb  merimnao  mer-im-nah'-o ) </div> <p> akin to [[A,]] No. 1, signifies "to be anxious about, to have a distracting care," e.g., &nbsp;Matthew 6:25,28 , [[Rv,]] "be anxious," for [[Av,]] "take thought;" &nbsp;Matthew 10:19; &nbsp;Luke 10:41 [[(Rv,]] "anxious," for [[Av,]] "careful"); &nbsp; Luke 12:11 [[(Rv,]] "anxious"); to be careful for, &nbsp; 1 Corinthians 7:32-34; to have a care for, &nbsp;1 Corinthians 12:25; to care for, &nbsp;Philippians 2:20; "be anxious," &nbsp;Philippians 4:6 , [[Rv.]] See [[Thought]] (to take). </p> <div> [['''B]]  2: μέλω ''' (Strong'S #3199  Verb  melei  mel'-o ) </div> <p> the third person sing. of melo, used impersonally, signifies that "something is an object of care," especially the care of forethought and interest, rather than anxiety, &nbsp;Matthew 22:16; &nbsp;Mark 4:38; &nbsp;12:14; &nbsp;Luke 10:40; &nbsp;John 10:13; &nbsp;12:6; &nbsp;Acts 18:17; &nbsp;1 Corinthians 9:9 [[(Rv,]] "Is it for the oxen that God careth?" The [[Av]] seriously misses the point. God does "care" for oxen, but there was a Divinely designed significance in the [[Ot]] passage, relating to the service of preachers of the Gospel); 7:21; &nbsp; 1 Peter 5:7 . </p> <div> [['''B]]  3: ἐπιμελέομαι ''' (Strong'S #1959  Verb  epimeleomai  ep-ee-mel-eh'-om-ahee ) </div> <p> signifies "to take care of," involving forethought and provision (epi indicating "the direction of the mind toward the object cared for"), &nbsp;Luke 10:34,35 , of the Good Samaritan's care for the wounded man, and in &nbsp;1 Timothy 3:5 , of a bishop's (or overseer's) care of a church, a significant association of ideas. </p> <div> [['''B]]  4: φροντίζω ''' (Strong'S #5431  Verb  phrontizo  fron-tid'-zo ) </div> <p> "to think, consider, be thoughtful" (from phren, "the mind"), is translated "be careful" in &nbsp;Titus 3:8 . </p> <div> [['''B]]  5: φρονέω ''' (Strong'S #5426  Verb  phroneo  fron-eh'-o ) </div> <p> translated "be careful," in &nbsp;Philippians 4:10 , [[Av]] [[(Rv,]] "(ye did) take thought"), has a much wider range of meaning than No. 5, and denotes to be minded, in whatever way. See [[Affection]] , [[B,]] Note (1), [[Mind]] , [[Regard]] , [[Savor]] , [[Think]] , Understand. </p> &nbsp;Hebrews 12:15Oversight. <div> [['''C]]  1: ἀκριβῶς ''' (Strong'S #199  Adverb  akribos  ak-ree-boce' ) </div> <p> "carefully;" see Accurately. </p> Exactly. <div> [['''C]]  2: σπουδαιοτέρως ''' (Strong'S #4708  Adverb  spoudaioteros,  spoo-dah-yot-er'-oce ) </div> <p> the comparative adverb corresponding to [[A,]] No. 2, signifies "the more diligently," &nbsp;Philippians 2:28 , [[Rv]] [[(Av,]] "carefully"). The adverb spoudaios denotes "diligently." &nbsp;2 Timothy 1:17 (some mss. have the comparative here); &nbsp; Titus 3:13; or "earnestly," &nbsp;Luke 7:4 [[(Av,]] "instantly").
