Pure

0038 HAGIASMOS (10): The state of being pure in one's relationship to God, as in 1Th.4.7: "For God has not called us to uncleanness but to purity." Note that spiritual uncleanness is the opposite of spiritual purity.

PURITY Rom.6.19,22. 1Co.1.30. 1Th.4.3,4,7. 2Th.2.13. 1Ti.2.15. Heb.12.14. 1Pe.1.2.

0037 HAGIAZO (28): To purify in relation to God, as in 2Ti.2.21: "So then, if anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, purified (hagiazo), suitable for the Master." In Mt.6.9, to make or keep something pure: "Our Father, the one in the heavens: Let your name be kept pure (hagiazo)..." See also "pure" (0040 hagios).

PURIFY (24) Mt.23.17,19. Jn.10.36; 17.17,19,19. Act.20.32; 26.18. Rom.15.16. 1Co.1.2; 6.11; 7.14,14. Eph.5.26. 1Th.5.23. 1Ti.4.5. 2Ti.2.21. Heb.2.11,11; 9.13; 10.10,14,29; 13.12.

0040 HAGIOS (220): Describing God, Jesus, the Pure (Holy) Spirit, God's messengers, purified humans or things, and places of God.

Hagios is usually defined as "dedicated to God," and translated "holy" or "sanctified." But before something can be "dedicated to God" it must first be "pure," as in Rom.12.1: "...I plead with you+ brothers through the sympathies of God, to present your+ bodies a living, pure (hagios) sacrifice, pleasing to God, [which is] your+ rational service."

Any description of God is about one who is "pure" (not "dedicated"), as in Jn.17.11: "Pure Father, keep them in your name which you have given me."

A person does not become pure (free of sin) until after he dedicates himself to God. Accordingly, "pure" is a more accurate translation of hagios than ancient concepts such as "holy" or "sanctified" which lack a clear English meaning. Passages such as 1Th.4.7 show that hagios is the opposite of spiritual uncleanness: "For God called us not to uncleanness but into purity."

The "hagi-" words (to the "dash line" below) concern purity with respect to God, but the "hagni-" words (below the "dash line") concern purity with respect to other humans.
