τιμή (timή) — honor / respect / status

Notes: In some languages the equivalent of ‘value’ is almost always in terms of ‘importance.’ This is particularly true if one is speaking of objects which are normally not bought and sold. Accordingly, one may render this particular expression in OET CO1 12:23 as ‘those parts of the body which we think of as not being so important, to these we grant particular importance’ or ‘… we consider as being very important.’|It is also possible to interpret τιμή in OET CO1 12:23 as a degree of honor or appreciation (see τιμή[a], 87.4: δόξα / 87.4: τιμή).

Sense 3: amount, price, cost

Semantic entry: 57.161

Semantic domains: Possess, Transfer, Exchange

Subdomains: Pay, Price, Cost

Definition: the amount of money or property regarded as representing the value or price of something

Notes: It would be wrong to assume that τιμή in OET CO1 7:23 necessarily means ‘a high price.’ The notion ‘high’ comes from the contextual reference to the death of Christ. In OET CO1 7:23, however, the implication is that a price was set and that the payment has been made. If the passive expression in OET CO1 7:23 must be made active, one may translate as ‘Christ bought you with a price’ or ‘Christ paid for you.’

Semantic entry: 57.167

Semantic domains: Possess, Transfer, Exchange

Subdomains: Pay, Price, Cost

Definition: compensation given for special service, with the implication that this is a way by which honor or respect may be shown

Notes: τιμή[d] in the sense of compensation is related in meaning to τιμάω [source selector 000002][c] to support, to provide for (57.117: τιμάω) and τιμή[c] cost (57.161: τιμή), but in OET TI1 5:17 it is also possible to understand τιμή in the sense of τιμή[a] honor, respect (87.4: δόξα / 87.4: τιμή), and therefore one may speak of the elders as receiving double honor.
