G40: ἅγιος
hágios · “holy”
Definition
sacred (physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially, consecrated)
KJV translates it as: (most) holy (one, thing), saint
Word origin: from (an awful thing) (compare G53 (ἁγνός), G2282 (θάλπω));
Extended definition
(τό ἅγός, religious awe; ἅζω, to venerate), [in LXX chiefly for קֹ֫דֶשׁ ;]
primarily, dedicated to the gods, sacred (Hdt.; rare in Att., never in Hom., Hes. and Trag., who use ἁγνός), hence, holy, characteristic of God, separated to God, worthy of veneration.
1. Its highest application is to God himself, in his purity, majesty, and glory: Luk.1:49, Jhn.17:11, Rev.4:8. Hence
(a) of things and places which have a claim to reverence as sacred to God, e.g. the Temple: Mat.24:15, Heb.9:1;
(b) of persons employed by him, as angels: 1Th.3:13; prophets, Luk.1:70; apostles, Eph.3:5.
2. Applied to persons as separated to God's service:
(a) of Christ, Mrk.1:24, Jhn.6:69, Act.4:30;
(b) of Christians, Act.9:13, Rom.1:7, Heb.6:10, Rev.5:8.
3. In the moral sense of sharing God's purity: Mrk.6:20, Jhn.17:11, Act.3:14, Rev.3:7.
4. Of pure, clean sacrifices and offerings: 1Co.7:14, Eph.1:4.
SYN.: ἁγνός, pure, both in ceremonial and spiritual sense; ἱερός (sacer), sacred, that which is inviolable because of its (external) relation to God; ὅσιος (sanctus as opposite to nefas), that which is based on everlasting ordinances of right. (Cf. Tr., Syn., §lxxxviii; DB, ii, 399 f.; Cremer, 34, 594-601; MM, VGT, see word) (AS)
