A-1 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g952 | Greek: bebelos |
Profane (Adjective and Verb):
primarily, "permitted to be trodden, accessible" (from baino, "to go," whence belos, "a threshold"), hence, "unhallowed, profane" (opposite to hieros, "sacred"), is used of
(a) persons, 1Ti 1:9; Hbr 12:16;
(b) things, 1Ti 4:7; 6:20; 2Ti 2:16. "The natural antagonism between the profane and the holy or divine grew into a moral antagonism.... Accordingly bebelos is that which lacks all relationship or affinity to God" (Cremer, who compares koinos, "common," in the sense of ritual uncleanness).
