His, His Own

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words

* Note: These translate (a) forms of pronouns under HE, No. 1 (a frequent use: in 1 Peter 2:24 , "His own self"); the form autou, "his," becomes emphatic when placed between the article and the noun, e.g., 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Titus 3:5; Hebrews 2:4; also under HE, No. 3 (in which "his" is emphasized), e.g., John 5:47; 9:28; 1 Corinthians 10:28; 2 Corinthians 8:9; 2 Timothy 2:26; Titus 3:7; 2 Peter 1:16; (b) heautou, "of himself, his own;" the RV rightly puts "his own," for the AV, "his," in Luke 11:21; 14:26; Romans 4:19; 5:8 , "His own (love);" 1 Corinthians 7:37; Galatians 6:8; Ephesians 5:28,33; 1 Thessalonians 2:11,12; 4:4; in Revelation 10:7 the change has not been made; it should read "his own servants;" (c) idios, "one's own," "his own," in the RV, in Matthew 22:5; John 5:18; 2 Peter 2:16; in Matthew 25:15 , it is rendered "his several;" in John 19:27 , "his own home," lit., "his own things;" in 1 Timothy 6:15 , RV, "its own (times)," referring to the future appearing of Christ; in Hebrews 4:10 (end of verse), both AV and RV have "his," where it should be "his own;" so in Acts 24:23 , for AV and RV, "his;" in 1 Corinthians 7:7 , RV, "his own," AV, "his proper;" (d) in Acts 17:28 , the genitive case of the definite article, "His (offspring)," lit., "of the" (i.e., the one referred to, namely, God).
