Observe Observation

Observe Observation

'''A — 1: παρατήρησις (Strong'S #3907 — Noun Feminine — parateresis — par-at-ay'-ray-sis )

"attentive watching" (akin to paratereo, "to observe"), is used in  Luke 17:20 , of the manner in which the kingdom of God (i.e., the operation of the spiritual kingdom in the hearts of men) does not come, "in such a manner that it can be watched with the eyes" (Grimm-Thayer), or, as Av marg., "with outward show."

'''B — 1: ἀναθεωρέω (Strong'S #333 — Verb — anatheoreo — an-ath-eh-o-reh'-o )

"to observe carefully, consider well" (ana, "up," intensive, and theoreo, "to behold"), is used in  Acts 17:23 , Rv, "observed" (of Paul's notice of the objects of Athenian worship), and  Hebrews 13:7 , "considering." See Behold.

'''B — 2: τηρέω (Strong'S #5083 — Verb — tereo — tay-reh'-o )

see Keep , No. 1.

'''B — 3: συντηρέω (Strong'S #4933 — Verb — suntereo — soon-tay-reh'-o )

see Keep , No. 3.

'''B — 4: παρατηρέω (Strong'S #3906 — Verb — paratereo — par-at-ay-reh'-o )

"to watch closely, observe narrowly" (para, used intensively, and No. 2), is translated "ye observe" in  Galatians 4:10 , where the Middle Voice suggests that their religious observance of days, etc. was not from disinterested motives, but with a view to their own advantage. See Watch. Cp. phroneo ("to think"), "regardeth" in   Romans 14:6 , where the subject is connected with the above, though the motive differs.
