    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.’

    DefinitionShort: persons who belong to God, and as such constitute a religious entity
    Glosses: God’s people
    Comments: In rendering οἱ ἅγιοι it is important to avoid an expression which means ‘sanctified,’ for the focus is not upon a particular state of holiness, but upon a special relationship with God. Those who are spoken of as οἱ ἅγιοι may also be admonished to become sanctified.|In a number of respects, οἱ ἅγιοι is similar in meaning to {L:λαός}[b] people of God ({D:11.12}) and to {L:ἀδελφός}[b] fellow believer ({D:11.23}).

    DefinitionShort: the interior (either the outer or the inner of the two rooms) of the sanctuary of the Jerusalem Temple or of the earlier tabernacle or of a corresponding ‘spiritual holy place,’ perhaps regarded as being in heaven
    Glosses: ['the holy place', '(most) holy place']
    Comments: The inner room was more specifically identified by the phrase ἅγια ἁγίων, literally ‘holy of holies’ {S:05800900300020}, a Hebrew idiom indicating superlative degree. The inner sanctuary could also be referred to as ‘within the curtain’ (τὸ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος {S:05800601900000}). See {L:ἅγιος}[a] ({D:88.24}) and {D:7.18}.|The outer room of the sanctuary may be referred to in some languages as simply ‘the first room of the Holy Temple’ or ‘the first holy room of the Temple.’ The holy of holies may be referred to as ‘the most holy place’ or ‘the second holy room of the Temple’ or ‘the interior holy room of the Temple.’ What is important here is the degree of holiness, not so much the actual location within the Temple. It is for this reason that for the ‘holy of holies’ many translators use ‘the most sacred place’ or ‘the very, very sacred room.’ In this type of context the term ‘sacred’ may be rendered as ‘dedicated especially to God’ or ‘consecrated to God.’
