6. δίδωμι is joined with nouns denoting an act or an effeet; and a. the act or effect of him who gives, in such a sense that what he is said διδόναι (either absolutely or with the dative of person) he is conceived of as effecting, or as becoming its author. Hence, δίδωμι joined with a noun can often be changed into an active verb expressing the effecting of that which the noun denotes. Thus, διδόναι αあるふぁἶνにゅーοおみくろんνにゅー τたうῷ Θしーたεいぷしろんῷ is equivalent to αあるふぁἰνにゅーεいぷしろんῖνにゅー τόν Θεόν, Luke 18:43; ἀπόκρισιν τίνι equivalent to ἀποκρίνεσθαι, John 1:22; John 19:9; ἐγκοπήν δでるたοおみくろんῦνにゅーαあるふぁιいおた τたうῷ εいぷしろんὐαγγελίῳ equivalent to ἐνκόπτειν τό εいぷしろんὐαγγέλιον, to hinder (the progress of) the gospel, 1 Corinthians 9:12; ἐντολήν τίνι equivalent to ἐντέλλεσθαι τίνι John 11:57; John 12:49; John 13:34; 1 John 3:23; δόξαν τίνι equivalent to δοξάζειν τίνι (see δόξα, II.); ἐργασίαν, after the Latinoperam dare, take pains, (A. V. give diligence), equivalent to ἐργάζεσθαι, Luke 12:58 (συμβούλιον, cf. the Latinconsilium dare, equivalent to συμβουλεύεσθαι, Mark 3:6 Tr text WH text); διαστολήν τίνι i. q διαστέλλειν τί, 1 Corinthians 14:7; παραγγελίαν, 1 Thessalonians 4:2 παράκλησιν, 2 Thessalonians 2:16; ἔλεος equivalent to ἐλらむだηいーたιいおたνにゅー, 2 Timothy 1:16, 18 ἀγάπην, show (A.

7. Joined with nouns denoting strength, faculty, power, virtue, δίδωμι (τίνι τί) is equivalent to: to furnish, endue, (one with a thing): Luke 21:15 (δώσω ὑμみゅーῖνにゅー στόμα καί σοφίαν); Acts 7:10; ἐξουσίαν, Matthew 9:8; Matthew 10:1; Luke 10:19; John 17:2; Revelation 2:26; Revelation 6:8; Revelation 13:7; διάνοιαν, 1 John 5:20; σύνεσιν, 2 Timothy 2:7; and in the very common phrase διδόναι τό πぱいνにゅーεいぷしろんῦμみゅーαあるふぁ. (I'. διδόναι τίνι τίνος to give to one (a part) of etc.: Revelation 2:17 (G L T Tr WH) δώσω αあるふぁὐτたうῷ τたうοおみくろんῦ μάννα, cf. Winers Grammar, 198 (186); Buttmann, 159 (139).)

b. διδόναι κλήρους (גּורָל נָתַן, Leviticus 16:8), to give, i. e. hand out lots, namely, to be cast into the urn (see κかっぱλらむだῆρος, 1), Acts 1:26.

c. δίδωμι τί with the predicate accusative: Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45 (to give up as a λύτρον); Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:37 (to pay as an equivalent).

2. δίδωμι τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ;

a. where the noun refers to the office one bears, to appoint: κριτάς, Acts 13:20.

b. to cause to come forth: δίδωμι ἐκかっぱ τたうῆς συναγωγῆς τたうοおみくろんῦ Σしぐまαあるふぁτたうαあるふぁνにゅーᾶ τたうῶνにゅー λεγόντων (namely, τινας (cf. Buttmann, 158 (138); Winer's Grammar, § 59, 4 b.)), Revelation 3:9; so also the sea, death, Hades, are said to give (up) the dead who have been engulfed or received by them, Revelation 20:13.

3. δίδωμι τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ τίνι;

a. to give one to some one as his own: as the object of his saving care, Hebrews 2:13; to give one to someone, to follow him as a leader and master, John 6:37, 39; John 10:29; John 17:6, 9, 12 (but see B. I. 4.

c. aa. above), ; ; in these passages God is said to have given certain men to Christ, i. e. to have disposed them to acknowledge Christ as the author and medium of their salvation, and to enter into intimate relations with him, hence Christ calls them 'his own' (τά ἐμά, John 10:14).

b. to give one to some one to care for his interests: John 3:16 (ἔδωκεν namely, αあるふぁὐτたうῷ, i. e. τたうῷ κόσμῳ); Acts 13:21.

4. δίδωμι τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ with a predicate accusative: ἑαυτόν τύπον, to render or set forth oneself as an example, 2 Thessalonians 3:9; with a predicate of dignity, office, function, and a dative of the person added for whose benefit some one invested with said dignity or office is given, that is, is bestowed: αあるふぁὐτόν ἔδωκεν κεφαλήν ὑπέρ πάντα τたうῇ ἐκκλησία, head over all things to the church, Ephesians 1:22; ἔδωκεν τούς μέν ἀποστόλους κかっぱτたうλらむだ., namely, τたうῇ ἐκκλησία, Ephesians 4:11. For in neither of these passages are we obliged, with many interpreters, to translate the word appointed, made, after the use of the Hebrew נָתַן; especially since in the second Paul seems wish to confirm the words quoted in Ephesians 4:8, ἔδωκε δόματα τたうοおみくろんῖς ἀνθρώποις. Those in the church whom Christ has endued with gifts and functions for the common advantage the apostle reckons among the δόματα given by him after his ascension to heaven.
