| 1 | Strong's Number: g5562 | Greek: choreo |
Contain:
signifies
(a), lit., "to give space, make room" (chora, "a place"); hence, transitively, "to have space or room for a thing, to contain," said of the waterpots as "containing" a certain quantity, Jhn 2:6; of a space large enough to hold a number of people, Mar 2:2; of the world as not possible of "containing" certain books, Jhn 21:25;
(b) "to go," Mat 15:17; "to have place," Jhn 8:37; "to come," 2Pe 3:9;
(c) metaphorically, "of receiving with the mind," Mat 19:11, 12; or "into the heart," 2Cr 7:2.
See COME (No. 24), GO, PLACE, RECEIVE, ROOM.
| 2 | Strong's Number: g4023 | Greek: periecho |
Contain:
lit., "to have round" (peri, "around," echo, "to have"), means "to encompass, enclose, contain," as a writing contains details, 1Pe 2:6. Some mss. have it in Act 23:25, lit., "having this form" (the most authentic have echo, "to have"). For the secondary meaning, "amazed" (AV, "astonished"), Luk 5:9 (lit., "amazement encompassed," i.e., seized, him).
Notes:
(1) The verb allegoreo in Gal 4:24, RV, is translated "contain an allegory" (AV, "are an allegory"), i.e., they apply the facts of the narrative to illustrate principles.
(2) In Eph 2:15 "the law of commandments contained in ordinances" is, lit., "the law of commandments in ordinances."
(3) In Rom 2:14, the RV, translating literally, has "the things of the Law;" the AV inserts the words "contained in."
(4) In 1Cr 7:9, for the AV, "if they cannot contain," see CONTINENCY.
