1: ἀγγελία

(Strong's #31 — Noun Feminine — angelia — ang-el-ee'-ah )

akin to angello, "to bring a message, proclaim," denotes a "message, proclamation, news," 1 John 1:5 [some mss. have epangelia: see Note (1)]; 1 John 3:11 , where the word is more precisely defined (by being followed by the conjunction "that," expressing the purpose that we should love one another) as being virtually equivalent to an order.

Notes: (1) Epangelia (epi, "upon," and No. 1), "a promise," is found in some mss. in 1 John 1:5 , "message" (see No. 1). See PROMISE. (2) In Luke 19:14 , AV, presbeia, is translated "a message;" RV, "an ambassage," as in 14:32. See AMBASSAGE.

2: ἀκοή

(Strong's #189 — Noun Feminine — akoe — ak-o-ay' )

"hearing," also denotes "the thing heard, a message;" in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 , it is associated with logos, "a word," lit., "the word of hearing" (RV marg.), RV, "the word of the message," AV, "the word ... which ye heard;" so in Hebrews 4:2 , RV, "the word of hearing" (AV, "the word preached"). See HEARING.

3: κήρυγμα

(Strong's #2782 — Noun Neuter — kerugma — kay'-roog-mah )

"that which is proclaimed by a herald, a proclamation, preaching," is translated "the message" in Titus 1:3 , RV (AV, "preaching"). See PREACHING.
