signifies (a) "to convict, confute, refute," usually with the suggestion of putting the convicted person to shame; see Matthew 18:15 , where more than telling the offender his fault is in view; it is used of "convicting" of sin, John 8:46; 16:8; gainsayers in regard to the faith, Titus 1:9; transgressors of the Law, James 2:9; some texts have the verb in John 8:9; (b) "to reprove," 1—Corinthians 14:24 , RV (for AV, "convince"), for the unbeliever is there viewed as being reproved for, or "convicted" of, his sinful state; so in Luke 3:19; it is used of reproving works, John 3:20; Ephesians 5:11,13; 1—Timothy 5:20; 2—Timothy 4:2; Titus 1:13; 2:15; all these speak of reproof by word of mouth. In Hebrews 12:5; Revelation 3:19 , the word is used of reproving by action. See Fault , Rebuke , Reprove.
