ALIENATE
(

, “from,” and the above; it signifies
“to be rendered an alien, to be alienated.” In Eph. 2:12 the
RV
corrects to the verbal form
“alienated,” for the noun “aliens”; elsewhere in Eph. 4:18 and Col. 1:21; the condition of
the unbeliever is presented in a threefold state of “alienation,” (a) from the
commonwealth of Israel, (b) from the life of God, (c) from God Himself.¶ The word is
used of Israelites in the Sept. of Ezek. 14:5 (“estranged”) and of the wicked in general,
Ps. 58:3.

In Rom. 14:5, this word is in italics. This addition is not needed in the

( , 3956) radically means “all.” Used without the article it means “every,”
every kind or variety. So the
RV
marg. in Eph. 2:21, “every building,” and the text in
3:15, “every family,” and the
RV
marg. of Acts 2:36, “every house”; or it may signify
“the highest degree,” the maximum of what is referred to, as, “with all boldness” Acts
4:29. Before proper names of countries, cities and nations, and before collective terms,
like “Israel,” it signifies either “all” or “the whole,” e.g., Matt. 2:3; Acts 2:36. Used with
the article, it means the whole of one object. In the plural it signifies “the totality of the
persons or things referred to.” Used without a noun it virtually becomes a pronoun,
meaning “everyone” or “anyone.” In the plural with a noun it means “all.” The neuter
singular denotes “everything” or “anything whatsoever.” One form of the neuter plural
(
) signifies “wholly, together, in all ways, in all things,” Acts 20:35; 1 Cor. 9:25.
The neuter plural without the article signifies “all things severally,” e.g., John 1:3; 1 Cor.
2:10; preceded by the article it denotes “all things,” as constituting a whole, e.g., Rom.
11:36; 1 Cor. 8:6; Eph. 3:9. See

in the plural, “all, all things.” Preceded by an article and followed by a noun it means “the

fulness of His longsuffering. See

, 3650), “the whole, all,” is most frequently used with the article
followed by a noun, e.g., Matt. 4:23. It is used with the article alone, in John 7:23, “every
whit”; Acts 11:26; 21:31; 28:30; Titus 1:11; Luke 5:5, in the best texts. See
