Decision Decide
Decision Decide [1]
primarily signifies "to make a distinction," hence, "to decide, especially judically, to decide a dispute, to give judgment," 1 Corinthians 6:5 , Av, "judge;" Rv, "decide," where church members are warned against procuring decisions by litigation in the world's law courts. See Contend.
transliterated in English, primarily denotes "a discrimination" (dia, "apart," ginosko, "to know"), hence, "a judicial decision," which is its meaning in Acts 25:21 , Rv, "for the decision of the Emperor" (Av, "hearing").
Acts 23:15 Acts 24:22
"a distinguishing," and so "a decision" (see A), signifies "discerning" in 1 Corinthians 12:10; Hebrews 5:14 , lit., "unto a discerning of good and evil" (translated "to discern"); in Romans 14:1 , "not to (doubtful) disputations" is more literally rendered in the margin "not for decisions (of doubts)." See Discern. Cp. Judge. In the Sept., Job 37:16 .
