Same

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words

1: Αὐτός (Strong'S #846 — pronoun — autos — ow-tos' )

denotes "the same" when preceded by the article, and either with a noun following, e.g.,  Mark 14:39;  Philippians 1:30;  1—Corinthians 12:4 , or without, e.g.,  Matthew 5:46,47;  Romans 2:1;  Philippians 2:2;  3:1;  Hebrews 1:12;  13:8 . It is thus to be distinguished from uses as a personal and a reflexive pronoun.

2: Αὗται (Strong'S #3778 — pronoun — houtos — hoo'-tos, hoo'-toy, how'-tay, how'-tahee )

"this" (person or thing), or "he" (and the feminine and neuter forms), is sometimes translated "the same," e.g.,  John 3:2,26;  7:18;  James 3:2; sometimes the RV translates it by "this" or "these," e.g.,  John 12:21 , "these" (AV, "the same");  2—Corinthians 8:6 , "this" (AV, "the same").

King James Dictionary

SAME, a. L. simul, together. Gr. Shall we suppose then that s has passed into an aspirate in this word, as in salt, Gr. or has the Greek word lost s? The word same may be the L. idem or dem, dialectically varied. The primary sense is to set, to place, to put together.

1. Identical not different or other.

Thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

 Psalms 102 .

The Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.  1 Corinthians 11 .

2. Of the identical kind or species, though not the specific thing. We say, the horse of one country is the same animal as the horse of another country. The same plants and fruits are produced in the same latitudes. We see in men in all countries, the same passions and the same vices.

Th' etherial vigor is in all the same.

3. That was mentioned before.

Do but think how well the same he spends, who spends his blood his country to relieve.

4. Equal exactly similar. One ship will not run the same distance as another in the same time, and with the same wind. Two balls of the same size have not always the same weight. Two instruments will not always make the same sound.

SAME, adv. Together. Obs.
