Thayer's Greek Lexicon
σκοπέω, σκόπω; (σκοπός, which see); from Homer down; to look at, observe, contemplate. to mark: absolutely, followed by μή with the indicative (see μή, III. 2), Luk 11:35; τινα, to fix one’s eyes upon, direct one’s attention to, anyone: Rom 16:17; Php 3:17; σεαυτόν, followed by μή with the subjunctive to look to, take heed to thyself, lest etc. Gal 6:1 (see μή, II. 1 b.); τί, to look at, i. e. care for, have regard to, a thing: 2Co 4:18; Php 2:4 (2Ma 4:5). (Compare: ἐπισκόπω, κατασκοπέω.) [SYNONYMS: σκοπεῖν is more pointed than βλέπειν; often equivalent to to scrutinize, observe. When the physical sense recedes, equivalent to to fix one’s (mind’s) eye on, direct one’s attention to, a thing in order to get it, or owing to interest in it, or a duty toward it. Hence, often equivalent to aim at, care for, etc. Schmidt, Syn., chapter 11: Cf. θεωρέω, ὁράω.]
