Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g2818 Greek: kleronomos

Heir:

lit. denotes "one who obtains a lot or portion" (kleros, "a lot," nemomai, "to possess"), especially of an inheritance. The NT usage may be analyzed as under: "

(a) the person to whom property is to pass on the death of the owner, Mat 21:38; Mar 12:7; Luk 20:14; Gal 4:1;

(b) one to whom something has been assigned by God, on possession of which, however, he has not yet entered, as Abraham, Rom 4:13, 14; Hbr 6:17; Christ, Hbr 1:2; the poor saints, Jam 2:5;

(c) believers, inasmuch as they share in the new order of things to be ushered in at the return of Christ, Rom 8:17; Gal 3:29; 4:7; Tts 3:7;

(d) one who receives something other than by merit, as Noah, Hbr 11:7." *
[* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 177, 178.]

In the Sept., Jdg 18:7; 2Sa 14:7; Jer 8:10; Mic 1:15.

A-2 Noun Strong's Number: g4789 Greek: sunkleronomos

Heir:

"a joint-heir, co-inheritor" (sun, "with," and No. 1), "is used of Issac and Jacob as participants with Abraham in the promises of God, Hbr 11:9; of husband and wife who are also united in Christ, 1Pe 3:7; of Gentiles who believe, as participants in the Gospel with Jews who believe, Eph 3:6; and of all believers as prospective participants with Christ in His glory, as recompense for their participation in His sufferings, Rom 8:17." *
[* ditto, p. 178.]

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g2816 Greek: kleronomeo

Heir:

"to be an heir to, to inherit" (see A, No. 1), is rendered "shall (not) inherit with" in Gal 4:30, RV, AV, "shall (not) be heir with;" in Hbr 1:14, RV, "shall inherit," AV, "shall be heirs of."
See INHERIT. Cp. kleroomai, "to be taken as an inheritance," kleronomia, "an inheritance," kleros, "a lot, an inheritance."
