| 1 | Strong's Number: g4679 | Greek: sophizo |
Devised (Cunningly):
from sophos, "wise" (connected etymologically with sophes, "tasty"), in the Active Voice signifies "to make wise," 2Ti 3:15 (so in the Sept. of Psa 19:7, e.g., "making babes wise;" in Psa 119:98, "Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies"). In the Middle Voice it means
(a) "to become wise;" it is not used thus in the NT, but is so found in the Sept., e.g., in Ecc 2:15, 19; 7:17;
(b) "to play the sophist, to devise cleverly;" it is used with this meaning in the Passive Voice in 2Pe 1:16, "cunningly devised fables."
See WISE.
Note: Cp. katasophizomai, "to deal subtly."
See DEAL WITH, Note (2).
