6. δίδωμι is joined with nouns denoting an act or an effeet; and a. the act or effect of him who gives, in such a sense that what he is said διδόναι (either absolutely or with the dative of person) he is conceived of as effecting, or as becoming its author. Hence, δίδωμι joined with a noun can often be changed into an active verb expressing the effecting of that which the noun denotes. Thus, διδόναι αἶνον τῷ Θεῷ is equivalent to αἰνεῖν τόν Θεόν, Luk 18:43; ἀπόκρισιν τίνι equivalent to ἀποκρίνεσθαι, Joh 1:22; Joh 19:9; ἐγκοπήν δοῦναι τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ equivalent to ἐνκόπτειν τό εὐαγγέλιον, to hinder (the progress of) the gospel, 1Co 9:12; ἐντολήν τίνι equivalent to ἐντέλλεσθαι τίνι Joh 11:57; Joh 12:49; Joh 13:34; 1Jn 3:23; δόξαν τίνι equivalent to δοξάζειν τίνι (see δόξα, II.); ἐργασίαν, after the Latinoperam dare, take pains, (A. V. give diligence), equivalent to ἐργάζεσθαι, Luk 12:58 (συμβούλιον, cf. the Latinconsilium dare, equivalent to συμβουλεύεσθαι, Mar 3:6 Tr text WH text); διαστολήν τίνι i. q διαστέλλειν τί, 1Co 14:7; παραγγελίαν, 1Th 4:2 παράκλησιν, 2Th 2:16; ἔλεος equivalent to ἐληιν, 2Ti 1:16; 2Ti 1:18 ἀγάπην, show (A. V. bestow), 1Jn 3:1; ἐκδίκησιν 2Th 1:8; βασανισμόν, Rev 18:7; ῤάπισμα equivalent to ῥαπίζειν τινα, Joh 18:22; Joh 19:3; φίλημα equivalent to φιλεῖν τινα, Luk 7:45. or b. the noun denotes something to be done by him to whom it is said to be given: διδόναι τίνι μετάνοιαν, to cause him to repent, Act 5:31; Act 11:18; γνῶσιν σωτηρίας,Luk 1:77; ἐλπίδα τίνι, 2Th 2:16.

7. Joined with nouns denoting strength, faculty, power, virtue, δίδωμι (τίνι τί) is equivalent to: to furnish, endue, (one with a thing): Luk 21:15 (δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καί σοφίαν); Act 7:10; ἐξουσίαν, Mat 9:8; Mat 10:1; Luk 10:19; Joh 17:2; Rev 2:26; Rev 6:8; Rev 13:7; διάνοιαν, 1Jn 5:20; σύνεσιν, 2Ti 2:7; and in the very common phrase διδόναι τό πνεῦμα. (I’. διδόναι τίνι τίνος to give to one (a part) of etc.: Rev 2:17 (G L T Tr WH) δώσω αὐτῷ τοῦ μάννα, cf. Winers Grammar, 198 (186); Buttmann, 159 (139).)

II. δίδωμι τί without a dative, and δίδωμι τινα.

1. δίδωμι τί;

a. with the force of to cause, produce, give forth from oneself: ὑετόν, from heaven, Jas 5:18; καρπόν, Mat 13:8; Mar 4:7-8 f (Deu 25:19; Sir 23:25); σημεῖα, Mat 24:24; Mar 13:22 (not Tdf.); Act 2:19 (Exo 7:9; Deu 13:1, etc.); ὑπόδειγμα, Joh 13:15; φέγγος, Mat 24:29; Mar 13:24 (φῶς, Isa 13:10); φωνήν, 1Co 14:7 f; διά τῆς γλώσσης λόγον, 1Co 14:9; γνώμην, to give one’s opinion, to give advice, 1Co 7:25; 2Co 8:10.

b. διδόναι κλήρους (âÌåøÈì ðÈúÇï, Lev 16:8), to give, i. e. hand out lots, namely, to be cast into the urn (see κλῆρος, 1), Act 1:26.

c. δίδωμι τί with the predicate accusative: Mat 20:28; Mar 10:45 (to give up as a λύτρον); Mat 16:26; Mar 8:37 (to pay as an equivalent).

2. δίδωμι τινα;

a. where the noun refers to the office one bears, to appoint: κριτάς, Act 13:20.

b. to cause to come forth: δίδωμι ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ Σατανᾶ τῶν λεγόντων (namely, τινας (cf. Buttmann, 158 (138); Winer’s Grammar, § 59, 4 b.)), Rev 3:9; so also the sea, death, Hades, are said to give (up) the dead who have been engulfed or received by them, Rev 20:13.

3. δίδωμι τινα τίνι;

a. to give one to some one as his own: as the object of his saving care, Heb 2:13; to give one to someone, to follow him as a leader and master, Joh 6:37; Joh 6:39; Joh 10:29; Joh 17:6; Joh 17:9; Joh 17:12 (but see B. I. 4.

c. aa. above), ; ; in these passages God is said to have given certain men to Christ, i. e. to have disposed them to acknowledge Christ as the author and medium of their salvation, and to enter into intimate relations with him, hence Christ calls them ’his own’ (τά ἐμά, Joh 10:14).

b. to give one to some one to care for his interests: Joh 3:16 (ἔδωκεν namely, αὐτῷ, i. e. τῷ κόσμῳ); Act 13:21.

c. to give one to some one to whom he already belonged, to return: Luk 7:15 ( ἀπεδωκε (so L marginal reading in Luk 7:15)).

d. δίδωμι ἐμαυτόν τίνι, to one demanding of me something, I give myself up as it were; an hyperbole for disregarding entirely my private interests, I give as much as ever I can: 2Co 8:5.

4. δίδωμι τινα with a predicate accusative: ἑαυτόν τύπον, to render or set forth oneself as an example, 2Th 3:9; with a predicate of dignity, office, function, and a dative of the person added for whose benefit some one invested with said dignity or office is given, that is, is bestowed: αὐτόν ἔδωκεν κεφαλήν ὑπέρ πάντα τῇ ἐκκλησία, head over all things to the church, Eph 1:22; ἔδωκεν τούς μέν ἀποστόλους κτλ., namely, τῇ ἐκκλησία, Eph 4:11. For in neither of these passages are we obliged, with many interpreters, to translate the word appointed, made, after the use of the Hebrew ðÈúÇï; especially since in the second Paul seems wish to confirm the words quoted in Eph 4:8, ἔδωκε δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. Those in the church whom Christ has endued with gifts and functions for the common advantage the apostle reckons among the δόματα given by him after his ascension to heaven.

III. Phrases in which to the verb δίδωμι, either standing alone or joined to cases, there is added:

1. an infinitive, either alone or with an accusative; δίδωμι τίνι followed by an infinitive denoting the object: δίδωμι τίνι φαγεῖν, give, supply, something to eat, give food (Buttmann, 261 (224); Winer’s Grammar, 318f (299)), Mat 14:18; Mat 25:35; Mat 25:42; Mar 6:37; Mar 5:43; Luk 8:55; Luk 9:13; Rev 2:7; πιεῖν, Joh 4:7; Joh 4:10; with the addition of an object accusative depending on the φαγεῖν or πιεῖν: Mat 27:34; Mar 15:23 (R G L); with an accusative added depending on the verb δίδωμι: Joh 6:31 Rev 16:6; followed by an infinitive indicating design (cf.
