Holpen Help
Holpen Help [1]
properly signifies "a laying hold of, an exchange" (anti, "in exchange," or, in its local sense, "in front," and lambano, "to take, lay hold of," so as to support); then, "a help" (akin to B, No. 1); it is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:28 , as one of the ministrations in the local church, by way of rendering assistance, perhaps especially of "help" ministered to the weak and needy. So Theophylact defines the injunction in 1 Thessalonians 5:14 , "support the weak;" cp. Acts 20:35; not official functionaries are in view in the term "helps," but rather the functioning of those who, like the household of Stephanas, devote themselves to minister to the saints. Hort defines the ministration as "anything that would be done for poor or weak or outcast brethren."
from boe, "a shout," and theo, "to run," denotes "help, succour," Hebrews 4:16 , lit., "(grace) unto (timely) help;" in Acts 27:17 , where the plural is used, the term is nautical, "frapping."
strictly denotes such aid as is rendered by an epikouros, "an ally, an auxiliary;" Paul uses it in his testimony to Agrippa, "having therefore obtained the help that is from God," Acts 26:22 , Rv.

"to assist, take part with" (sun, "with," and lambano), is used, in the Middle Voice, of rendering help in what others are doing, Luke 5:7 , of bringing in a catch of fish; in Philippians 4:3 , in an appeal to Synzygus ("yokefellow") to help Euodia and Syntyche (ver. 2). See Catch , Conceive.
signifies "to take hold with at the side for assistance" (sun, "with," and No. 1); hence, "to take a share in, help in bearing, to help in general."

In the Sept., Exodus 18:22; Numbers 11:17; Psalm 89.21 .
