| A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g1849 | Greek: exousia |
Right (Not Wrong-Noun and Adjective), Rightly:
"authority, power," is translated "right" in the RV, for AV, "power," in Jhn 1:12; Rom 9:21; 1Cr 9:4, 5, 6, 12 (twice), 18; 2Th 3:9, where the "right" is that of being maintained by those among whom the ministers of the gospel had labored, a "right" possessed in virtue of the "authority" given them by Christ, Hbr 13:10; Rev 22:14.
Exousia first denotes "freedom to act" and then "authority for the action." This is first true of God, Act 1:7. It was exercised by the Son of God, as from, and in conjunction with, the Father when the Lord was upon earth, in the days of His flesh, Mat 9:6; Jhn 10:18, as well as in resurrection, Mat 28:18; Jhn 17:2. All others hold their freedom to act from God (though some of them have abused it), whether angels, Eph 1:21, or human potentates, Rom 13:1. Satan offered to delegate his authority over earthly kingdoms to Christ, Luk 4:6, who, though
conscious of His "right" to it, refused, awaiting the Divinely appointed time.
See AUTHORITY, No. 1, and for various synonyms see DOMINION, No. 1, Note.
