Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g1199 Greek: desmos

Bond:

from deo, "to bind" (see BAND), is usually found in the plural, either masculine or neuter;

(a) it stands thus for the actual "bonds" which bind a prisoner, as in Luk 8:29; Act 16:26; 20:23 (the only three places where the neuter plural is used); Act 22:30;

(b) the masculine plural stands frequently in a figurative sense for "a condition of imprisonment," Phl 1:7, 13, i.e., "so that my captivity became manifest as appointed for the cause of Christ;" Phl 1:14, 16; Col 4:18; 2Ti 2:9; Phm 1:10, 13; Hbr 10:34.

In Mar 7:35 "the bond (AV string)" stands metaphorically for "the infirmity which caused an impediment in his speech." So in Luk 13:16, of the infirmity of the woman who was bowed together.
See BAND, CHAIN, STRING.

2 Strong's Number: g1198 Greek: desmios

Bond:

"a binding," denotes "a prisoner," e.g., Act 25:14, RV, for the AV, "in bonds;" Hbr 13:3, "them that are in bonds," Paul speaks of himself as a prisoner of Christ, Eph 3:1: 2Ti 1:8; Phm 1:1, 9; "in the Lord," Eph 4:1.
See PRISONER.

3 Strong's Number: g4886 Greek: sundesmos

Bond:

"that which binds together" (sun, "with," and No. 1), is said of "the bond of iniquity," Act 8:23; "the bond of peace," Eph 4:3; "the bond of perfectness," Col 3:14 (figurative of the ligaments of the body); elsewhere; Col 2:19, "bands," figuratively of the bands which unite the Church, the Body of Christ.
See BAND.

4 Strong's Number: g254 Greek: halusis

Bond:

denotes "a chain;" so the RV in Eph 6:20, for AV "bonds."
See CHAIN.

5 Strong's Number: g1121 Greek: gramma

Bond:

in Luk 16:6, RV, means "a bill or note of hand."
See BILL, No. 2.

6 Strong's Number: g5498 Greek: cheirographos

Bond:

"a handwriting," is rendered "bond" in Col 2:14, RV.
