ἉΓΙΑΣΜΌΣ

ἉΓΙΑΣΜΌΣ: † ἁγιασμός, -οῦ, ὁ [ (< ἁγιάζω), [in LXX: Ez 45:4 (מִקְדָּשׁ), Si 7:31, etc.;] ] as an active verbal noun in -μός, it signifies properly the process τὸ ἁγιάζειν, rather than the resultant state, ἁγιωσύνη, hence, 1. . consecration; 2. . sanctification: so strictly in Ro 6:19, 22 (but v. Meyer), I Co 1:30, I Th 4:3, 7, II Th 2:13, He 12:14, I Pe 1:2. Elsewhere it perhaps (Ellic.; but v. Milligan, Th., 48) inclines to the resultant state: I Th 4:4, I Ti 2:15 (Cremer, 55, 602).†
