| A-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g2936 | Greek: ktizo |
Create, Creation, Creator, Creature:
used among the Greeks to mean the founding of a place, a city or colony, signifies, in Scripture, "to create," always of the act of God, whether
(a) in the natural creation, Mar 13:19; Rom 1:25 (where the title "The Creator" translates the article with the aorist participle of the verb); 1Cr 11:9; Eph 3:9; Col 1:16; 1Ti 4:3; Rev 4:11; 10:6, or
(b) in the spiritual creation, Eph 2:10, 15; 4:24; Col 3:10.
See MAKE.
| B-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2937 | Greek: ktisis |
Create, Creation, Creator, Creature:
primarily "the act of creating," or "the creative act in process," has this meaning in Rom 1:20; Gal 6:15. Like the English word "creation," it also signifies the product of the "creative" act, the "creature," as in Mar 16:15, RV; Rom 1:25; 8:19; Col 1:15 etc.; in Hbr 9:11, AV, "building." In Mar 16:15; Col 1:23 its significance has special reference to mankind in general. As to its use in Gal 6:15; 2Cr 5:17, in the former, apparently, "the reference is to the creative act of God, whereby a man is introduced into the blessing of salvation, in contrast to circumcision done by human hands, which the Judaizers claimed was necessary to that end. In 2Cr 5:17 the reference is to what the believer is in Christ; in consequence of the creative act he has become a new creature."*
[*From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 339.]
Ktisis is once used of human actions, 1Pe 2:13, "ordinance" (marg., "creation").
See BUILDING, ORDINANCE.
| B-2 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2938 | Greek: ktisma |
Create, Creation, Creator, Creature:
has the concrete sense, "the created thing, the creature, the product of the creative act," 1Ti 4:4; Jam 1:18; Rev 5:13; 8:9.
| B-3 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2939 | Greek: ktistes |
Create, Creation, Creator, Creature:
among the Greeks, the founder of a city, etc., denotes in Scripture "the Creator," 1Pe 4:19 (cp. Rom 1:20, under B, No. 1, above).
Note: It is a significant confirmation of Rom 1:20, 21, that in all non-Christian Greek literature these words are never used by Greeks to convey the idea of a Creator or of a creative act by any of their gods. The words are confined by them to the acts of human beings.
| B-4 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2226 | Greek: zoon |

"a living creature:" see BEAST.
