a -proov ´: This word, as ordinarily used, means "to entertain a favorable opinion concerning" ( Psalm 49:13; Lamentations 3:36 ). Its Biblical and archaic use conveys a much stronger meaning and is equivalent to its use in legal formalities of today, "to approve a bill," i.e. by some act, generally a signature, to express approval. In New Testament, a number of times, for Greek dokimázō , "to test, try, make proof of," and its derivative, dókimos , "tested," "tried." The word will, in almost every ease, imply that the proof is victoriously demonstrated, the proved is also approved, just as in English we speak of "tried men" (Trench, Greek Synonyms of New Testament ). It is the word most frequently used for the testing of ores. That which does not stand the test is adókimos , "reprobate." Compare Jeremiah 6:30 King James Version: "reprobate silver." That which stands the test is dokimos , "approved." "Salute Apelles the approved in Christ" ( Romans 16:10 ); "they that are approved" ( 1 Corinthians 11:19 ); "Present thyself approved unto God" ( 2 Timothy 2:15 ); when he hath been "approved" ( James 1:12 ). See also Romans 14:18 , Romans 14:22; 1 Thessalonians 2:4 .
