prı̄s : Represents various words in the Old Testament; τιμή , timḗ , is the usual Greek word for "price" in the New Testament. "Of great price" is πολύτιμος , polútimos , in Matthew 13:46 , and πολυτελής , polutelḗs , in 1 Peter 3:4 . The verb occurs in Zechariah 11:13 the King James Version and the English Revised Version as "prised." The spelling "prized" in the American Standard Revised Version and some editions of the King James Version is due to a confusion with "prize." For "price of a dog" ( Deuteronomy 23:18 the King James Version) see DOG .
