(

, 4762), “to turn,” is translated “be converted” in Matt. 18:3,
KJV
.
See

2.
(

, 1994), “to turn about, turn towards” ( , “towards” and
No. 1), is used transitively, and so rendered “convert” (of causing a person to turn) in Jas.
5:19-20. Elsewhere, where the
KJV
translates this verb, either in the middle voice and
intransitive use, or the passive, the
RV
adheres to the middle voice significance, and
translates by “turn again,” Matt. 13:15; Mark 4:12; Luke 22:32; Acts 3:19; 28:27. See

B. Noun.
(

, 1995), akin to A, No. 2, “a turning about, or round,
conversion,” is found in Acts 15:3. The word implies “a turning from and a turning to”;
corresponding to these are repentance and faith; cf. “turned to God from idols” (1 Thess.
1:9). Divine grace is the efficient cause, human agency the responding effect.¶
CONVEY
$
(

"
, 1593), primarily, “to bend to one side, to turn aside”; then “to take
oneself away, withdraw,” is found in John 5:13, of Christ’s “conveying” Himself away
from one place to another. Some have regarded the verb as having the same meaning as
, “to escape,” as from peril, “slip away secretly”; but the Lord did not leave the
place where He had healed the paralytic in order to escape danger, but to avoid the
applause of the throng.¶
CONVICT (
including the
KJV
,
“convince”
)
1.
(
# !
, 1651) signifies (a) “to convict, confute, refute,” usually with the
suggestion of putting the convicted person to shame; see Matt. 18:15, where more than
telling the offender his fault is in view; it is used of “convicting” of sin, John 8:46; 16:8;
gainsayers in regard to the faith, Titus 1:9; transgressors of the Law, Jas. 2:9; some texts
have the verb in John 8:9; (b) “to reprove,” 1 Cor. 14:24,
RV
(for
KJV
, “convince”), for
the unbeliever is there viewed as being reproved for, or “convicted” of, his sinful state; so
in Luke 3:19; it is used of reproving works, John 3:20; Eph. 5:11, 13; 1 Tim. 5:20; 2 Tim.
