bē̇ -hoov ´: Used in the New Testament for two Greek words deı́ (Luke 24:26; Acts 17:3 ) and opheı́lō (Hebrews 2:17 ); the former referring to a physical, and the latter to a moral, necessity (Bengelon, 1 Corinthians 11:10 ). The former means "must," that is, it is required by the order which God has ordained; the latter, "ought," that is, it is required as a debt.
