"to owe, whether of a debt or any obligation," is translated "we are bound," in 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 2:13 (the Apostle expressing his obligation to give thanks for his readers). See BEHOVE.
Note: Dei, it is necessary (for which see MUST), expresses, not the obligation (as does opheilo) but the certainty or inevitableness of what is bound to happen, e.g., John 3:15 , "must be lifted up" (i.e., inevitably), and Acts 4:12 , "wherein we must be saved" (i.e., there is a certainty of salvation). (b) of binding:lit., "to lie around" (peri, "around," keimai, "to lie"), "to be compassed," is used of binding fetters around a person, Acts 28:20; in Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2 , to hang about a person's neck; in Hebrews 5:2 , to compass about, metaphorically of infirmities; in Hebrews 12:1 , of those who have witness borne to their faith. See COMPASS , HANG.
Note: For "bound" in Acts 22:5; 24:27 , see BIND , No. 1; for Acts 22:25 , AV, see BIND , No. 7; for Luke 8:29 , see BIND , No. 6.Copyright Statement
