| A-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g4241 | Greek: prepo |
Become (To Be Fitting):
"to be conspicuous among a number, to be eminent, distinguished by a thing," hence, "to be becoming, seemly, fit." The adornment of good works "becometh women professing godliness," 1Ti 2:10. Those who minister the truth are to speak "the things which befit the sound doctrine," Tts 2:1. Christ, as a High Priest "became us," Hbr 7:26. In the impersonal sense, it signifies "it is fitting, it becometh," Mat 3:15; 1Cr 11:13; Eph 5:3; Hbr 2:10.
See BEFIT, COMELY.
| B-1 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g2412 | Greek: hieroprepes |
Become (To Be Fitting):
from hieros, "sacred," with the adjectival form of prepo, denotes "suited to a sacred character, that which is befitting in persons, actions or things consecrated to God," Tts 2:3, RV, "reverent," AV, "as becometh holiness," (marg., "holy women"). Trench (Syn. xcii) distinguishes this word from kosmios, "modest," and semnos, "grave, honorable."
Notes:
(1) The AV translates the adverb axios, "as becometh," in Rom 16:2; Phl 1:27 (RV corrects to "worthily" and "worthy").
(2) Ginomai, "to become," is mentioned under various other headings.
(3) For "become of no effect," Gal 5:4, AV, RV, "severed from," see ABOLISH.
