Befit, Befitting:
primarily, "to have arrived at, reached to, pertained to," came to denote "what is due to a person, one's duty, what is befitting." It is used ethically in the NT; Eph 5:4, RV, "are (not) befitting," for AV, "are (not) convenient;" Col 3:18, concerning the duty of wives towards husbands, RV, "as is fitting," for AV, "as it is fit." In Phm 1:8, the participle is used with the article, signifying "that which is befitting," RV (AV, "that which is convenient").
See CONVENIENT. For synonymous words see BECOME.
