<div> [['''A]]  1: κτίζω ''' (Strong'S #2936  Verb  ktizo  ktid'-zo ) </div> <p> used among the [[Greeks]] to mean the founding of a place, a city or colony, signifies, in Scripture, "to create," always of the act of God, whether (a) in the natural creation, &nbsp;Mark 13:19; &nbsp;Romans 1:25 (where the title "The Creator" translates the article with the aorist participle of the verb); &nbsp; 1 Corinthians 11:9; &nbsp;Ephesians 3:9; &nbsp;Colossians 1:16; &nbsp;1 Timothy 4:3; &nbsp;Revelation 4:11; &nbsp;10:6 , or (b) in the spiritual creation, &nbsp;Ephesians 2:10,15; &nbsp;4:24; &nbsp;Colossians 3:10 . See Make. </p> <div> [['''B]]  1: κτίσις ''' (Strong'S #2937  Noun [[Feminine]]  ktisis  ktis'-is ) </div> <p> primarily "the act of creating," or "the creative act in process," has this meaning in &nbsp;Romans 1:20; &nbsp;Galatians 6:15 . Like the English word "creation," it also signifies the product of the "creative" act, the "creature," as in &nbsp;Mark 16:15 , [[Rv;]] &nbsp;Romans 1:25; &nbsp;8:19; &nbsp;Colossians 1:15 etc.; in &nbsp; Hebrews 9:11 , [[Av,]] "building." In &nbsp;Mark 16:15; &nbsp;Colossians 1:23 its significance has special reference to mankind in general. As to its use in &nbsp; Galatians 6:15; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 5:17 , in the former, apparently, "the reference is to the creative act of God, whereby a man is introduced into the blessing of salvation, in contrast to circumcision done by human hands, which the [[Judaizers]] claimed was necessary to that end. In &nbsp;2 Corinthians 5:17 the reference is to what the believer is in Christ; in consequence of the creative act he has become a new creature."* [*From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 339.] </p> &nbsp;1 Peter 2:13[[Building]]Ordinance. <div> [['''B]]  2: κτίσμα ''' (Strong'S #2938  Noun Neuter  ktisma  ktis'-mah ) </div> <p> has the concrete sense, "the created thing, the creature, the product of the creative act," &nbsp;1 Timothy 4:4; &nbsp;James 1:18; &nbsp;Revelation 5:13; &nbsp;8:9 . </p> <div> [['''B]]  3: κτίστης ''' (Strong'S #2939  Noun Masculine  ktistes  ktis-tace' ) </div> <p> among the Greeks, the founder of a city, etc., denotes in [[Scripture]] "the Creator," &nbsp;1 Peter 4:19 (cp. &nbsp; Romans 1:20 , under [[B,]] No. 1, above). </p> &nbsp;Romans 1:20,21 <div> [['''B]]  4: ζῷον ''' (Strong'S #2226  Noun Neuter  zoon  dzo'-on ) </div> <p> "a living creature:" see Beast. </p>
