A-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g1252 | Greek: diakrino |
Partial, Partiality:
"to separate, distinguish, discern, judge, decide" (dia, "asunder," krino, "to judge"), also came to mean "to be divided in one's mind, to hesitate, doubt," and had this significance in Hellenistic Greek (though not so found in the Sept.). For the AV, "are ye (not) partial" in Jam 2:4, see DIVIDE, No. 4. "'This meaning seems to have had its beginning in near proximity to Christianity.' It arises very naturally out of the general sense of making distinctions" (Moulton and Milligan).

Partial, Partiality:

C-1 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g87 | Greek: adiakritos |

See VARIANCE. In the Sept., Pro 25:1.
