ἁγνός, -ή, -όν (ἅγος, see: ἅγιος), [in LXX chiefly for טָהוֹר (Pss, and Pr. only), also 2Ma.13:8, 4Ma.18:7, al. ;] 1. free from ceremonial defilement, in a condition prepared for worship (for exx. of pagan usage, V. MM, VGT, see word). 2. holy, sacred, venerable (II Mac, l.with). 3. As in OT (cl.), pure, chaste, undefiled, guiltless; (a) of persons: 2Co.7:11 11:12, 1Ti.5:22, Tit.2:5, 1Jn.3:3; (b) of things: Php.4:8, Jas.3:17, 1Pe.3:2. † SYN.: εἰλικρινής (which see), pure, primarily as winnowed, purged, first found in ethical sense in NT (sincere). On the equivalence of ἁ. and καθαρός (which see), see DCG, ii, 459a though Westc. (Epp. Jo., 101) notes a distinction between them. (AS)
