Thayer's Greek Lexicon
θυσία, θυσίας, ἡ (θύω) (from Aeschylus down), the Sept. for îÄðÀçÈä an offering, and æÆáÇç; a sacrifice, victim;
a. properly: Mat 9:13 and Mat 12:7, from Hos 6:6; Mar 9:40 ((R G L Tr text brackets), see ἁλίζω); Eph 5:2; Heb 10:5; Heb 10:28; plural, Mar 12:33; Luk 13:1; Heb 9:23; (Heb 10:1; Heb 10:8 (here Rec. singular)); ἀνάγειν θυσίαν τίνι, Act 7:41; ἀναφέρειν, Heb 7:27 (see ἀνάγω, and ἀναφέρω 2); (δοῦναι θυσίαν, Luk 2:24); προσφέρειν, Act 7:42; Heb 5:1; Heb 8:3; Heb 10:1-39:(),; (); passive Heb 9:9; διά τῆς θυσίας αὐτοῦ, by his sacrifice, i. e. by the sacrifice which he offered (not, by offering up himself; that would have been expressed by διά τῆς θυσίας τῆς ἑαυτοῦ, or διά τῆς ἑαυτοῦ θυσίας), Heb 9:26; ἐσθίειν τάς θυσίας, to eat the flesh left over from the victims sacrificed (viz. at the sacrificial feasts; cf. (Lev 7:15 ff; Deuteronomy 12:7f, 17f, etc.) Winer’s RWB under the word Opfermahlzeiten), 1Co 10:18.
b. in expressions involving a comparison: θυσίαι πνευματικαι (see πνευματικός, 3 a.), 1Pe 2:5; θυσία, a free gift, which is likened to an offered sacrifice, Php 4:18; Heb 13:16 (τοιαύταις θυσίαις, i. e. with such things as substitutes for sacrifices God is well pleased); θυσία ζῶσα (see ζάω, II.
b. at the end), Rom 12:1; ἀναφέρειν θυσίαν αἰνέσεως, Heb 13:15 (if this meant, as it can mean, αἴνεσιν ὡς θυσίαν, the author would not have added, as he has, the explanation of the words; he must therefore be supposed to have reproduced the Hebrew phrase æÄáÀçÅéÎúÌåãÈä, and then defined this more exactly; Lev 7:3 (Lev 7:13) (cf. Lev 7:2 (Lev 7:12)); Psa 106:22 (); see αἴνεσις); ἐπί τῇ θυσία ... τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν (epexegetical genitive), in the work of exciting, nourishing, increasing, your faith, as if in providing a sacrifice to be offered to God (cf. ἐπί, p. 233b bottom), Php 2:17.
