         DefinitionShort: pertaining to being dedicated or consecrated to the service of God

         Glosses: ['devout', 'godly', 'dedicated']

         Comments: In some languages it is essential to distinguish between {L:ἅγιος} and {L:ὅσιος} when these refer to God (see {D:88.24}) and when they refer to persons or objects which have been consecrated to the service of God. It is both theoretically and practically advantageous to make a significant distinction in meaning on the basis of these contextual differences which occur in the Greek NT. It is not difficult to translate {L:ἅγιος} and {L:ὅσιος} by expressions meaning ‘dedicated to God,’ ‘devout,’ ‘pious,’ etc., but it may be extremely difficult to translate {L:ἅγιος} and {L:ὅσιος} when applied to God. In some languages one can only use an expression such as ‘he who is truly God’ or ‘he who is in every respect God.’
