Appendixes To The Companion Bible

The Synonymous Words for "Pray" and "Prayer".
This Is Appendix 134 From The Companion Bible.

 

  1. The Verb.

    2.  

    1. euchomai = to speak out, utter aloud. Hence, to wish or vow (Acts 26:29. 2 Corinthians 13:7. James. 5:16).

       

    2. proseuchomai. No. 1 with pros (Appendix 104. xv) prefixed = to pray to. It is restricted to prayer to God in New Testament. First occurrence in Matthew 5:44.

       

    3. erotao = to ask or request a person to do (rarely to give) something : thus differing from No. 4 below.

       

    4. aiteo = to ask for something to be given (not done, as No. 3). Commonly used of an inferior addressing a superior.

       

    5. deomai = to want, lack, or need; then, to make known one's need; hence, to supplicate, beseech.

       

    6. parakaleo = to call aside, appeal to (by way of exhortation, entreaty, comfort, or instruction).

  2. The Noun.

    3.  

    1. euche = a prayer (to God); also, a vow made to God.

       

    2. proseuche = No. 1 with pros (Appendix 104. xv, prefixed). The word is quite common in the Papyri though in the New Testament it is restricted to prayer offered to God, having regard to the power of Him Who is invoked and giving prominence to personal devotion. Also used of a place of prayer (Acts 16:13).

       

    3. deesis = a petition for a special object having regard to our necessity rather than to God's sufficiency to supply it: giving prominence to personal need. In Byzantine Greek it was used of a written petition (as in English).

       

    4. enteuxis = confiding access to God, giving prominence to childlike confidence in prayer. Occurs only in 1Timothy 2:1; 4:5.

       

    5. aitema = a specific petition for a particular thing, compare No. I. 4. Occurs only in Luke 23:24. Philippians 4:6. 1 John 5:15.

Watchman News hosts several archives of Bible studies such as these by the Watchmen Bible Study Group. Although we are not affiliated with this or numerous others using the term Watchman in their names, we believe it important keep the full content intact for research and analysis for Bible students of future generations. We keep it available as good members of the body of Christ, for Christian unity. We do so on a non-profit basis. As the original owner's site went offline years ago, no one has paid to keep it online but us. We pray and hope such ministries are more careful about having successors to carry on their works in the future. Although we do not agree on every point of doctrine, we still believe it very important to not edit any of the original contents. Our own statements of beliefs are found at www.CelticOrthodoxy.com, and for example in the book "7th Day Sabbath in the Orthodox Church" etc.
