Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g3543 Greek: nomizo

Suppose:

"to consider, suppose, think," is rendered "to suppose" in Mat 20:10; Luk 2:34; 3:23; Act 7:25; 14:19; 16:27; 21:29; 1Ti 6:5; in 1Cr 7:26, AV (RV, "I think"); in Act 16:13, the RV adheres to the meaning "to suppose," "(where) we supposed (there was a place of prayer);" this word also signifies "to practice a custom" (nomos) and is commonly so used by Greek writers. Hence the AV, "was wont (to be made);" it is rendered "to think" in Mat 5:17; 10:34; Act 8:20; 17:29; 1Cr 7:36.
See THINK.

Suppose:

"to be of opinion," is translated "to suppose" in Mar 6:49; Luk 24:37; Jhn 20:15; Act 27:13; in the following, AV "suppose," RV, "think," Luk 12:51; 13:2; Hbr 10:29. It is most frequently rendered "to think," always in Matthew; always in John, except Jhn 11:31, "supposing," RV [where the best texts have this verb (for lego, AV, "saying")], and Jhn 20:15 (see above).

Notes:

(1) In 2Cr 11:5, AV, logizomai, "to reckon" (RV), is rendered "I suppose;" so in 1Pe 5:12, AV, RV, "(as) I account (him);" Silvanus was not supposed by Peter to be faithful, he was "reckoned" or regarded so.
