Thayer's Greek Lexicon
γραφή, γραφῆς, ἡ (γράφω, cf. γλυφή and γλύφω);
a. a writing, thing written (from Sophocles down): πᾶσα γραφή every scripture namely, of the O. T., 2Ti 3:16; plural γραφαί ἅγιαι, holy scriptures, the sacred books (of the O. T.), Rom 1:2; προφητικαι, Rom 16:26; αἱ γραφαί τῶν προφητῶν, Mat 26:56.
b. ἡ γραφή, the Scripture κατ’ ἐξοχήν, the holy scripture (of the O. T.) — and used to denote either the book itself, or its contents (some would restrict the singular γραφή always to a particular passage; see Lightfoot on Gal 3:22): Joh 7:38; Joh 10:35; Act 8:32; Rom 4:3; Gal 3:22; Gal 4:30; Jas 2:8; 1Pe 2:6; 2Pe 1:20; also in plural αἱ γραφαί: Mat 21:42; Mat 26:54; Mar 14:49; Luk 24:27; Joh 5:39; Act 17:2; Act 17:11; Act 18:24; Act 18:28; 1Co 15:3 f; once αἱ γραφαί comprehends also the books of the N. T. already begun to be collected into a canon, 2Pe 3:16; by metonymy, ἡ γραφή is used for God speaking in it: Rom 9:17; Gal 4:30; ἡ γραφή is introduced as a person and distinguished from God in Gal 3:8. εἰδέναι τάς γραφάς, Mat 22:29; Mar 12:24; συνιέναι, Luk 24:45.
c. a certain portion or section of holy Scripture: Mar 12:10; Luk 4:21; Joh 19:37; Act 1:16. (Cf. B. D. under the word .)
