Vessel:
is used
(a) of "a vessel or implement" of various kinds, Mar 11:16; Luk 8:16; Jhn 19:29; Act 10:11, 16; 11:5; 27:17 (a sail); Rom 9:21; 2Ti 2:20; Hbr 9:21; Rev 2:27; 18:12;
(b) of "goods or household stuff," Mat 12:29 and Mar 3:27, "goods;" Luk 17:31, RV, "goods" (AV, "stuff");
(c) of "persons,"
(1) for the service of God, Act 9:15, "a (chosen) vessel;" 2Ti 2:21, "a vessel (unto honor);"
(2) the "subjects" of Divine wrath, Rom 9:22;
(3) the "subjects" of Divine mercy, Rom 9:23;
(4) the human frame, 2Cr 4:7; perhaps 1Th 4:4;
(5) a husband and wife, 1Pe 3:7; of the wife, probably, 1Th 4:4; while the exhortation to each one "to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor" is regarded by some as referring to the believer's body [cp. Rom 6:13; 1Cr 9:27; see No. (4)], the view that the "vessel" signifies the wife, and that the reference is to the sanctified maintenance of the married state, is supported by the facts that in 1Pe 3:7 the same word time, "honor," is used with regard to the wife; again in Hbr 13:4, timios, "honorable" (RV, "in honor") is used in regard to marriage; further, the preceding command in 1 Thess. 4 is against fornication, and the succeeding one (1Th 4:6) is against adultery. In Rth 4:10, Sept., ktaomai, "to possess," is used of a wife.
