1 | Word Study: Helko, please? | John 18:10 | kalos | 132966 | ||
Doc: Thanks for the kind words. Likewise, your posts are a source of blessing to me. Are the words related in Greek, or are they only related because of how they are translated? I don't know. All I know about these words is what I've posted. ("Kalos" is a Greek word that is translated "honest" in the KJV. :-)) Something new I learned while researching the word "helkuo" is this: In the search field in Google search (www.google.com), you can enter, for example, "Strong's 1670" (without the quotation marks) and you'll get 417 results. Grace and shalom, Kalos |

2 | Word Study: Helko, please? | John 18:10 | DocTrinsograce | 132967 | ||
Thank you, Kalos! Let's look at every reference to these words in the New Testament: Looking at "suro" John 21:8 Fishermen drawing a net with fish Acts 8:3 Saul drawing people into prison Acts 14:19 People drawing a corpse Acts 17:6 People drawing Jason before authorities Revelation 12:4 Satan drawing fallen angels Looking at "helko" John 6:44 God drawing men to Christ John 12:32 Christ drawing men to Himself John 18:10 Peter drawing a sword for use John 21:6 Fishermen drawing a net to surface John 21:11 Peter drawing a net to shore Acts 16:19 Idol makers drawing Paul to marketplace Acts 21:30 People drawing Paul from the temple James 2:6 Rich drawing poor in law suits What can we conclude about these two words? Each are verbs in which a subject acts upon an object. The object is either passive or resistant -- i.e., the object cannot act upon itself or it is unwilling to be acted upon. The subject overcomes the passivity or resistance of the object by superior force. So, is draw the word we would use in modern English, or might we use "drag?" Interesting, isn't it? :-) |
