<div> '''1: ἀνεψιός ''' (Strong'S #431 Noun Masculine anepsios an-eps'-ee-os ) </div> <p> in Colossians 4:10 denotes a "cousin" rather than a nephew | <div> '''1: ἀνεψιός ''' (Strong'S #431 Noun Masculine anepsios an-eps'-ee-os ) </div> <p> in Colossians 4:10 denotes a "cousin" rather than a nephew (AV, "sister's son"). "Cousin" is its meaning in various periods of Greek writers. In this sense it is used in the Sept., in Numbers 36:11 . In later writings it denotes a nephew; hence the AV rendering. As Lightfoot says, there is no reason to suppose that the [[Apostle]] would have used it in any other than its proper sense. We are to understand, therefore, that Mark was the cousin of Barnabas. See Sister. </p> <div> '''2: συγγενής ''' (Strong'S #4773 Adjective sungenis soong-ghen-ace' ) </div> <p> in Luke 1:36 (so in the most authentic mss.) and sungenes in Luke 1:58 (plural), AV, "cousin" and "cousins," respectively signify "kinswoman" and "kinsfolk," (RV); so the RV and AV in Luke 2:44; 21:16 . The word lit. signifies "born with," i.e., of the same stock, or descent; hence "kinsman, kindred." See [[Kin]] , [[Kinsfolk]] , Kinswoman. </p> | ||
