One
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
the first cardinal numeral, masculine (feminine and neuter nominative forms are mia and hen, respectively), is used to signify (1) (a) "one" in contrast to many, e.g., Matthew 25:15; Romans 5:18 , RV, "(through) one (trespass)," i.e., Adam's transgression, in contrast to the "one act of righteousness," i.e., the death of Christ (not as AV, "the offense of one," and "the righteousness of one"); (b) metaphorically, "union" and "concord," e.g., John 10:30; 11:52; 17:11,21,22; Romans 12:4,5; Philippians 1:27; (2) emphatically, (a) a single ("one"), to the exclusion of others, e.g., Matthew 21:24; Romans 3:10; 1—Corinthians 9:24; 1—Timothy 2:5 (twice); (b) "one, alone," e.g., Mark 2:7 , RV (AV, "only"); Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19; (c) "one and the same," e.g., Romans 3:30 , RV, "God is one," i.e., there is not "one" God for the Jew and one for the Gentile; cp. Galatians 3:20 , which means that in a promise there is no other party; 1—Corinthians 3:8; 11:5; 12:11; 1—John 5:8 (lit., "and the three are into one," i.e., united in "one" and the same witness); (3) a certain "one," in the same sense as the indefinite pronoun tis (see B, No. 1), e.g., Matthew 8:19 , RV, "a (scribe)," marg., "one (scribe)," AV, "a certain (scribe);" Matthew 19:16 , "one;" in Revelation 8:13 , RV marg., "one (eagle);" heis tis are used together in Luke 22:50; John 11:49; this occurs frequently in the papyri (Moulton, Prol., p. 96); (4) distributively, with hekastos, "each," i.e., "every one," e.g., Luke 4:40; Acts 2:6 , "every man" (lit., "every one"); in the sense of "one ... and one," e.g., John 20:12; or "one ..." followed by allos or heteros, "the other," e.g., Matthew 6:24; or by a second heis, e.g., Matthew 24:40 , RV, "one;" John 20:12; in Romans 12:5 heis is preceded by kata (kath') in the sense of "severally (members) one (of another)," RV (AV, "every one ... one"); cp. Mark 14:19; in 1—Thessalonians 5:11 the phrase in the 2nd part, "each other," RV (AV, "one another"), is, lit., "one the one;" (5) as an ordinal number, equivalent to protos, "first," in the phrase "the first day of the week," lit., and idiomatically, "one of sabbaths," signifying "the first day after the sabbath," e.g., Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2; Acts 20:7; 1—Corinthians 16:2 . Moulton remarks on the tendency for certain cardinal numerals to replace ordinals (Prol., p. 96).
an indefinite pronoun signifying "a certain one, some one, any one, one" (the neuter form ti denotes "a certain thing"), is used (a) like a noun, e.g., Acts 5:25; 19:32; 21:34; 1—Corinthians 3:4; or with the meaning "someone," e.g., Acts 8:31 , RV, "some one" (AV, "some man"); Romans 5:7; (b) as an adjective; see Certain , Note (3), Some.
as a relative pronoun, signifies "who;" as a demonstrative pronoun, "this," or "the one" in contrast with "the other," or "another," e.g., Romans 14:2 , AV (RV, "one man"); 1—Corinthians 12:8 .
Matthew 17:8 1—Corinthians 3:21 1—Corinthians 15:35 1—Thessalonians 5:15 2—Timothy 4:16 1—John 2:27 3:3 Luke 7:8 1—Peter 3:8 Acts 7:26 Acts 5:16Every Mark 9:26 Acts 2:1 1—Corinthians 11:20 14:23 Mark 1:7 Mark 7:14 Matthew 5:28 Acts 1:24 2—Thessalonians 2:7AccordConsent

Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [3]
Genesis 2:24 (c) Our Lord considers that the husband and wife constitute one unit. This is true even after the family enlarges. It is still one family.
Numbers 15:16 (a) Although Israel had many laws, GOD considers all of it as just one law.
Deuteronomy 6:4 (a) This passage may be easily understood when we remember that it refers to the heavenly family of three, or the heavenly firm of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We refer to a bank as one bank, though many men operate it. We refer to one family though there may be six members in it. The passage does not speak of "one person." It does speak of one Lord. The three Persons of the Trinity operate together. What is done by anyone of the three Persons is agreed to by the others, and is binding on the others. It is one authority, though there are three Persons exercising that authority. These three members of the Godhead are not one Person, but they are one in plan, program, and purpose.
John 10:30 (a) We all know that these two persons are just one person, for we read that the Father sent the Son. In another place, the Father spoke from Heaven concerning His Son on the earth. In another place the Son said "I ascend unto My Father." He was telling us that they are one in purpose, one in plan, and one in action. (See John 17:21).
Acts 28:25 (a) Although Paul said that he spoke "one word," or rather Luke said it in this passage, the writer mentioned a great many words that Paul spoke. He was indicating that there was one message for the people, one story to tell, one explanation given.
Galatians 3:28 (a) The church consists of many persons, yet in GOD's sight it is just one group, one church, one family, one kingdom. It is not necessary to give the many other references in which the number one represents a group, or a bunch, or a collection, or more than one. From the numerical standpoint the number one represents indivisibility. One cannot be divided. One is not subject to separation. One represents a unit.
