HO'LY, a.

1. Properly, whole, entire or perfect, in a moral sense. Hence, pure in heart, temper or dispositions free from sin and sinful affections. Applied to the Supreme Being, holy signifies perfectly pure, immaculate and complete in moral character and man is more or less holy, as his heart is more or less sanctified, or purified from evil dispositions. We call a man holy,when his heart is conformed in some degree to the image of God, and his life is regulated by the divine precepts. Hence, holy is used as nearly synonymous with good, pious, godly.

Be ye holy for I am holy. 1 pet 1

2. Hallowed consecrated or set apart to a sacred use, or to the service or worship of God a sense frequent in Scripture as the holy sabbath holy oil holy vessels a holy nation the holy temple a holy priesthood.

3. Proceeding from pious principles,or directed to pious purposes as holy zeal.

4. Perfectly just and good as the holy law of God.

5. Sacred as a holy witness.
