         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of ῥάβδος ‘scepter,’ not occurring in the NT) the manner in which a person rules or governs

         Glosses: ['rule', 'governing']

         Comments: It is rare that a staff constitutes a symbol of power and therefore would have the extended meaning of ‘rule.’ Accordingly, this expression in {S:05800100800040} must often be rendered as ‘the way in which you rule your kingdom will be righteous’ or ‘you will be righteous as you rule your kingdom.’
