Death-Stroke Death
Death-Stroke Death [1]
"death," is used in Scripture of: (a) the separation of the soul (the spiritual part of man) from the body (the material part), the latter ceasing to function and turning to dust, e.g., John 11:13; Hebrews 2:15; 5:7; 7:23 . In Hebrews 9:15 , the Av, "by means of death" is inadequate; the Rv, "a death having taken place" is in keeping with the subject. In Revelation 13:3,12 , the Rv, "death-stroke" (Av, "deadly wound") is, lit., "the stroke of death:"
Genesis 2:17 Romans 5:12,14,17,21 John 5:24 1 John 3:14 Romans 5:12 1 Peter 2:24 Matthew 27:45,46
another word for "death," lit. signifies "a taking up or off" (ana, "up," airo, "to take"), as of the taking of a life, or "putting to death;" it is found in Acts 8:1 , of the murder of Stephen. Some mss. have it in Acts 22:20 . See anaireo, under Kill. In the Sept., Numbers 11:15; Judges 15:17 , "the lifting of the jawbone."
"an end, limit" (cp. telos, see End), hence, "the end of life, death," is used of the "death" of Herod, Matthew 2:15 .
"doomed to death" (epi, "upon," thanatos, A, No. 1), is said of the apostles, in 1 Corinthians 4:9 .
"to put to death" (akin to A, No. 1), in Matthew 10:21; Mark 13:12; Luke 21:16 , is translated "shall ... cause (them) to be put to death," lit., "shall put (them) to death" (Rv marg.). It is used of the Death of Christ in Matthew 26:59; 27:1; Mark 14:55; 1 Peter 3:18 . In Romans 7:4 (Passive Voice) it is translated "ye ... were made dead," Rv (for Av, "are become"), with reference to the change from bondage to the Law to union with Christ; in Romans 8:13 , "mortify" (marg., "make to die"), of the act of the believer in regard to the deeds of the body; in Romans 8:36 , "are killed;" so in 2 Corinthians 6:9 . See Kill , Mortify.
lit., "to take or lift up or away" (see A, No. 2), hence, "to put to death," is usually translated "to kill or slay;" in two places "put to death," Luke 23:32; Acts 26:10 . It is used 17 times, with this meaning, in Acts. See Kill , Slay , Take.
lit., "to lead away" (apo, "away," ago, "to lead"), is used especially in a judicial sense, "to put to death," e.g., Acts 12:19 . See Bring , Carry , Lead , Take.
"to kill," is so translated in the Rv, for the Av, "put to death," in Mark 14:1; Luke 18:33; in John 11:53; 12:10; 18:31 , Rv, "put to death." See Kill , Slay.
