(1)
B
, from A, No. 3, and
, “complete,” signifies “wholly, through
and through,” 1 Thess. 5:23, lit., “whole complete”; there, not an increasing degree of
sanctification is intended, but the sanctification of the believer in every part of his being.¶

$
, a strengthened form of
$
signifies “at all,” Acts
4:18.¶

C. Pronoun.
(
6
, 3745), the neuter plural of
, “as much as,” chiefly used in the plural,
is sometimes rendered “all that,” e.g., Acts 4:23; 14:27. It really means “whatsoever
things.” See Luke 9:10,
RV
, “what things.”
ALLEGE
(
$ &
, 3908), “to place beside or to set before” (
, “beside,”
, “to put”), while often used in its literal sense of material things, as well as in its
more common significance, “to commit, entrust,” twice means “to set before one in
teaching,” as in putting forth a parable, Matt. 13:24, 31,
RV
. Once it is used of setting
subjects before one’s hearers by way of argument and proof, of Paul, in “opening and
alleging” facts concerning Christ, Acts 17:3. See

is rendered “put forth” in the
KJV
of Luke 14:7; but
signifies “to
speak”; hence, the
RV
, “spake.” The
KJV
seems to be an imitation of
in Matt.
13:24, 31. See
SAY
.
ALLEGORY
(
$!
, 238), translated in Gal. 4:24 “contain an allegory” (
KJV
, “are
an allegory”), formed from
, “other,” and
$
, “to speak in a place of assembly”
(
, “the market-place”), came to signify “to speak,” not according to the primary
sense of the word, but so that the facts stated are applied to illustrate principles. The
“allegorical” meaning does not do away with the literal meaning of the narrative. There
may be more than one “allegorical” meaning though, of course, only one literal meaning.
Scripture histories represent or embody spiritual principles, and these are ascertained, not
by the play of the imagination, but by the rightful application of the doctrines of
Scripture.¶
