Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἁγιωσύνη (on the omega ω see references in ἀγαθωσύνη, at the beginning), (ης, ἡ, a word unknown to secular authors (Buttmann, 73 (64));
1. (god’s incomparable) majesty (joined to μεγαλοπρέπεια, Psa 95:6 (), cf. Psa 144:5 ()): πνεῦμα ἁγιωσύνης a spirit to which belongs ἁγιωσύνη, not equivalent to πνεῦμα ἅγιον, but the divine (?) spiritual nature in Christ as contrasted with his σάρξ, Rom 1:4; cf. Rückert at the passage, and Zeller in his Theol. Jahrbb. for 1842, p. 486 ff; (yet cf. Meyer at the passage; gifford (in the Speaker’s Commentary). Most commentators (cf. e. g. Ellicott on Thess. as below) regard the word as uniformly and only signifying holiness).
2. moral purity: 1Th 3:13
