bē̇ -kum ´:

(1) Greek γίνομαι , gı́nomai , used in New Testament for a change of state, corresponding to Hebrew hāyāh of Old Testament. Compare Matthew 18:3 with Deuteronomy 27:9 .

(2) For what is fitting, suitable, proper, in New Testament: "prépei " (Matthew 3:15; Ephesians 5:3; 1 Timothy 2:10 ); in Old Testament, נאוה , nā'ăwāh , נאה , nā'āh , Psalm 93:5 : "Holiness becometh thy house." in this sense, the adverb "becomingly" must be interpreted: "Walk becomingly toward them that are without" ( 1 Thessalonians 4:12 ), i.e. in a way that is consistent with your profession.
