Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Verb Strong's Number: g873 Greek: aphorizo

Separate:

"to mark off by bounds" (apo, "from," horizo, "to determine;" horos, "a limit"), "to separate," is used of "

(a) the Divine action in setting men apart for the work of the gospel, Rom 1:1; Gal 1:15;

(b) the Divine judgment upon men, Mat 13:49; 25:32;

(c) the separation of Christians from unbelievers, Act 19:9; 2Cr 6:17;

(d) the separation of believers by unbelievers, Luk 6:22;

(e) the withdrawal of Christians from their brethren, Gal 2:12. In (c) is described what the Christian must do, in (d) what he must be prepared to suffer, and in (e) what he must avoid."*
[* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 83.]

A-2 Verb Strong's Number: g5563 Greek: chorizo

Separate:

"to put asunder, separate," is translated "to separate" in Rom 8:35, 39; in the Middle Voice, "to separate oneself, depart" (see DEPART); in the Passive Voice in Hbr 7:26, RV, "separated" (AV, "separate"), the verb here relates to the resurrection of Christ, not, as AV indicates, to the fact of His holiness in the days of His flesh; the list is progressive in this respect that the first three qualities apply to His sinlessness, the next to His resurrection, the last to His ascension.
See PUT, No. 14.

A-3 Verb Strong's Number: g592 Greek: apodiorizo

Separate:

"to mark off" (apo, "from," dia, "asunder," horizo, "to limit"), hence denotes metaphorically to make "separations," Jud 1:19, RV (AV, "separate themselves"), of persons who make divisions (in contrast with ver. 20); there is no pronoun in the original representing "themselves."

B-1 Preposition Strong's Number: g5565 Greek: choris

Separate:

"apart from, without" (cp. aneu, "without," a rarer word than this), is translated "separate from" in Eph 2:12 (AV, "without").
See APART, BESIDE, WITHOUT.
