| 3 | Strong's Number: g4139 | Greek: plesion |
Neighbor:
the neuter of the adjective plesios (from pelas, "near"), is used as an adverb accompanied by the article, lit., "the (one) near;" hence, one's "neighbor;" see refs. below.
This and Nos. 1 and 2 have a wider range of meaning than that of the Eng. word "neighbor." There were no farmhouses scattered over the agricultural areas of Palestine; the populations, gathered in villages, went to and fro to their toil. Hence domestic life was touched at every point by a wide circle of neighborhood. The terms for neighbor were therefore of a very comprehensive scope. This may be seen from the chief characteristics of the privileges and duties of neighborhood as set forth in Scripture,
(a) its helpfulness, e.g, Pro 27:10; Luk 10:36;
(b) its intimacy, e.g., Luk 15:6, 9 (see No. 1); Hbr 8:11;
(c) its sincerity and sancitity, e.g., Exd 22:7, 10; Pro 3:29; 14:21; Rom 13:10; 15:2; Eph 4:25; Jam 4:12. The NT quotes and expands the command in Lev 19:18, "to love one's neighbor as oneself;" see, e.g., Mat 5:43; 19:19; 22:39; Mar 12:31, 33; Luk 10:27; Gal 5:14; Jam 2:8. See also Act 7:27.
Note: In Rom 13:8, for hetron, "another," RV has "his neighbor."
