Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'In several contexts κτάομαι refers to the acquiring of some possession or benefit by means of payment of money, as in {S:04400802000044} (τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνόμισας διὰ χρημάτων κτᾶσθαι you thought you could acquire God’s gift with money), but κτάομαι in itself does not mean to buy but simply to acquire, and if the reference is to buying, then the context must indicate the use of money as a means of acquisition.'}

    Comments: It is also possible to understand σκεῦος in {S:05200400400014} as one’s wife (see {D:10.55}). σκεῦος in {S:05200400400014} may also be understood as one’s body, and therefore the phrase τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σκεῦος κτᾶσθαι may be rendered as ‘to control his own body’ (see {D:8.6}).
