         Comments: In a number of languages it is necessary to indicate specifically what is the content of a witness, so that, for example, in {S:04202101300008} it may be necessary to say ‘this is your chance to witness to the good news’ or ‘… to tell about the good news’ or ‘… to tell what you yourselves know about the good news.’

         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:μαρτυρέω}[a] ‘to witness,’ {D:33.262}) the content of what is witnessed or said

         Glosses: ['testimony', 'witness']

         Comments: In a number of languages one must specify the content of the witness, and it also may be necessary to indicate the agent who is engaged in the witnessing. For example, in {S:04101405500024} it may be necessary to translate ‘they tried to find someone who would testify against Jesus’ or ‘… say something against Jesus.’ In {S:04600100600006} it may be necessary to translate ‘what we told you from personal experience about Christ has become so firmly fixed in you’ or ‘… has become so much a part of you.’

         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:μαρτυρέω}[b] to speak well of, {D:33.263}) that which is said about a person on the basis of an evaluation of the persons conduct

         Glosses: reputation

         Comments: In obtaining a satisfactory equivalent for ‘reputation,’ it may be necessary to restructure considerably the clause in which a term such as μαρτυρία[c] or ὄνομα[c] occurs. For example, in {S:05400300700008} one may translate ‘he should be the kind of man that people outside the church say is a good person.’ Similarly, in {S:06600300100054} one may need to translate ‘people speak of you as being alive even though you are dead.’
