Fitly Fit Fitting
Fitly Fit Fitting [1]
"ready for use, fit, well adapted," lit., "well placed" (eu, "well," tithemi, "to place"), is used (a) of persons, Luke 9:62 , negatively, of one who is not fit for the kingdom of God; (b) of things, Luke 14:35 , of salt that has lost its savor; rendered "meet" in Hebrews 6:7 , of herbs. See Meet.
"pleasing" (akin to aresko, "to please"), is translated "(it is not) fit," Rv (Av, "reason"), in Acts 6:2 . See Please , Reason.
properly, "to have come up to" (ana, "up," and heko, "to arrive"), is translated "is fitting," in Colossians 3:18 , Rv. See Befitting.
"to come or reach down to" (kata, "down"), hence, "to befit, be proper," is translated "is (not fit)" in Acts 22:22; in Romans 1:28 , Rv, "fitting" (Av, "convenient"). See Convenient.
"to make fit, to equip, prepare" (kata, "down," artos, "a joint"), is rendered "fitted" in Romans 9:22 , of vessels of wrath; here the Middle Voice signifies that those referred to "fitted" themselves for destruction (as illustrated in the case of Pharaoh, the self-hardening of whose heart is accurately presented in the Rv in the first part of the series of incidents in the Exodous narrative, which records Pharaoh's doings; only after repeated and persistent obstinacy on his part is it recorded that God hardened his heart.) See Frame , Join , Perfect , Prepare , Restore.
"to fit or frame together" (sun, "with," harmos, "a joint, in building," and lego, "to choose"), is used metaphorically of the various parts of the church as a building, Ephesians 2:21 , "fitly framed together;" also of the members of the church as the body of Christ, 4:16, Rv, "fitly framed ... together."
