Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἐμαυτοῦ, ἐμαυτης, ἐμαυτοῦ (from ἐμοῦ and αὐτοῦ, reflexive pronoun of 1st person, of myself, used only in the genitive, dative, and accusative singular (cf. Buttmann, 110ff (96ff)): ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ, see ἀπό, II. 2 d. aa.; ὑπ’ ἐμαυτόν, under my control, Mat 8:9; Luk 7:8; ἐμαυτόν, myself, as opposed to Christ, the supposed minister of sin (Luk 7:17), Gal 2:18; tacitly opposed to an animal offered in sacrifice, Joh 17:19; negligently for αὐτός ἐμέ, 1Co 4:3 (yet cf. Meyer at the passage). As in Greek writers (Matthiae, § 148 Anm. 2, i., p. 354; Passow, under the word, p. 883), its force is sometimes so weakened that it scarcely differs from the simple person pronoun of the first person (yet denied by Meyer), as Joh 12:32; Joh 14:21; Phm 1:13.
