Declare, declaration

Verbs.

1.   ajnaggevllw , (312) signifies to announce, report, bring back tidings (ana, back, angelloµ, to announce). Possibly the ana carries the significance of upward, i.e., heavenly, as characteristic of the nature of the tidings. In the following, either the A.V. or the R.V. translates the word by the verb to declare; in John 4:25, R.V., "declare," A.V., "tell;" in 16:13, 14, 15, R.V., "declare," A.V., "shew;" in Acts 15:4, R.V., "rehearsed," A.V., "declared;" in 19:18, R.V., "declaring," A.V., "shewed" (a reference, perhaps, to the destruction of their idols, in consequence of their new faith); in 20:20, R.V., "declaring," A.V., "have shewed;" in 1 John 1:5, R.V., "announce," A.V., "declare." See Rehearse, Report, Shew, Speak, Tell.

2.   avpaggevllw , (518) signifies to announce or report from a person or place (apo, from); hence, to declare, publish; it is rendered "declare" in Luke 8:47; Heb. 2:12; 1 John 1:3. It is very frequent in the Gospels and Acts; elsewhere, other than the last two places mentioned, only in 1 Thess. 1:9 and 1 John 1:2. See Bring, A, No. 36.

3.   diaggevllw , (1229), lit., to announce through, hence, to declare fully, or far and wide (dia, through), is translated "declaring" in Acts 21:26, R.V. (A.V., "to signify"); in Luke 9:60, R.V., "publish abroad" (for A.V. "preach"), giving the verb its fuller significance; so in Rom. 9:17, for A.V., "declared." See Preach, Signify.¶

4.   kataggevllw , (2605), lit., to report down (kata, intensive), is ordinarily translated to preach; "declare" in Acts 17:23, A.V. (R.V., "set forth"); in 1 Cor. 2:1, R.V., "proclaiming," for A.V., "declaring." It is nowhere translated by "declare" in the R.V. See Preach, Shew, Speak, Teach.

5.   paraggevllw , (3853): see Charge, B, No. 8.

6.   dihgevomai , (1334), to conduct a narration through to the end (dia, through, intensive, hegeµomai, to lead), hence denotes to recount, to relate in full, Mark 5:16; Luke 8:39; 9:10; Acts 8:33; 9:27; 12:17; in Mark 9:9 and Heb. 11:32, "tell." See Shew, Tell.¶

7.   ejkdihgevomai , (1555), properly, to narrate in full, came to denote, to tell, declare; it is used in Acts 13:41; 15:3.¶

8.   ejxhgevomai , (1834), lit., to lead out, signifies to make known, rehearse, declare, Luke 24:35 (A.V., "told;" R.V., rehearsed"); Acts 10:8; 15:12, 14; 21:19. In John 1:18, in the sentence "He hath declared Him," the other meaning of the verb is in view, to unfold in teaching, to declare by making known. See Tell.¶

9.   ojrivzw , (3724), to mark off by boundaries, signifies to determine, usually of time; in Rom. 1:4, Christ is said to have been marked out as the Son of God, by the fact of His resurrection; "declared" (R.V., marg., "determined"). See Define.

10.  dhlovw , (1213), to make plain, is rendered to declare in 1 Cor. 1:11, A.V.; 3:13; Col. 1:8. See Signify.

11.  fravzw , (5419), to declare, occurs in Matt. 15:15 and (in some texts) in 13:36 (as A.V.).

Note: For gnoµrizoµ, to make known, rendered to declare in John 17:26; 1 Cor. 15:1 and Col. 4:7, see Know, A, No. 8. For emphanizoµ, to declare plainly, Heb. 11:14, A.V., see Manifest, B, No. 2. For phanerooµ, see Manifest, B, No. 1. For anatitheµmi, Acts 25:14, A.V., see Communicate. For "declare glad tidings" see Tidings.

Noun.

e{ndeixiV , (1732), a showing, pointing out (en, in, deiknumi, to show), is said of the showing forth of God's righteousness, in Rom. 3:25, 26, A.V., "to declare;" R.V., "to shew," and "(for) the shewing." In 2 Cor. 8:24, "proof;" Phil. 1:28, "an evident token." See Shew, Token.¶

Notes: (1) In Luke 1:1, dieµgeµsis is a "narrative" (R.V.), not a "declaration" (A.V.).

(2) In 2 Cor. 8:19, "declaration" does not represent any word in the original.

The Path to Godliness Leads through the Valley of Suffering

1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,.  

Rejoice in the midst of Sufferings

1 Cor. 12:24-25 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
