g. to take and apply to any use: Acts 21:11; 1 Corinthians 6:15.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For αἴρω, ";raise,"; ";lift up,"; as in Revelation 10:5, cf. Syll 807.3 (ii /A.D.) ἆραι τὴν χεῖρα, and so ib. 607.20, .27. One passage for αἴρειν χεῖρας may be specially noted, the Alexandrian inscr. in Preisigke 1323 (ii/A.D.) : θεῷ ὑψίστῳ καὶ πάντων ἐπόπτῃ καὶ Ἡλίῳ καὶ Νεμέσεσι αἴρει Ἀρσεινόη ἄωρος τὰς χεῖρας. The inscr. is heathen, but has striking similarity to the Jewish prayer for vengeance on which Deissmann comments in LAE p. 423 ff. : is its thought partly due to Jewish suggestion? In P Fay 103.3 (iii/A.D.) payment is allotted to the bearers of a corpse—τοῖς ἠρκάσι (l. -όσι) αὐτόν : cf. P Grenf II. 77.9 (iii/iv A.D.) ( = Selections, p. 120). In a magical formula of iii/A.D. instructions are given to take twenty-nine palm leaves, on which the names of the gods have been inscribed, and then—ερε ( = αἶρε) κατὰ δύο δύο, ";lift them up two by two,"; P Oxy VI. 886.19 ( = Selections, p. 111). A good parallel to Colossians 2:14 is afforded by BGU II. 388ii. 23 (ii/iii A.D.) ἆρον ταῦτα ἐκ τοῦ μ [έ ]σ ̣[ου ]. John 19:15 ἆρον, ἆρον, σταύρωσον αὐτόν may be illustrated from a strangely incongruous source, the well-known school-boy’s letter, where the boy’s mother is represented as saying—ἀναστατοῖ με · ἆρρον αὐτόν, ";he upsets me : away with him!"; P Oxy I. 119.10 (ii/iii A.D.) ( = Selections, p. 103) : cf. Syll 737.142 (ii/A.D.) ἐὰν δὲ ἀπειθῇ, αἰρέτωσαν αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ πυλῶνος. A parallel of a different kind is found in the defixio from Cnidus, Audollent no. 1.18 (p. 6—iii/ii B.C.) ἵναι αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν ζώντων ἄρῃ —which the editor should not (p. 559) assign to αἱρεῖν ! In the curious nursery alphabet, P Tebt II. 278 (early i/A.D.) αἴρειν is used six times for stealing (a garment). So in the passive BGU IV. 1201.18 (A.D. 2) εὕροσαν τὸν στροφέα τοῦ ἑνὸς μ ̣ε ̣ρ ̣ο ̣υ ̣ς ̣ [τ ]ῆς θύρας η ̣̓ρ ̣μένον χ [ε ]ρσ ̣ε ̣ι ̣ν ̣. The use is common. With εἰς it can express ";removing to"; a place, as P Tebt II. 308.9 (A.D. 174)—a man has paid for 20,000 papyrus stalks ";which he has had transported to Tebtunis by Heracleides"; (εἰς Τ. ἄρας ̣ δια ῾Η). The classical use of the middle may be seen in P Lond 854.6 (i/ii A.D.) ( = III. p. 206, Selections, p. 70) ἀρα ̣μενο ̣ς ἀνάπλο [υν ], of a tourist going up the Nile. To Wetstein’s parallels for Luke 19:21 αἴρεις ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκας C. Taylor (JTS ii. p. 432) adds the Jewish precepts quoted by Philo (Mangey II. 629) ἅ τις παθεῖν ἐχθαίρει μὴ ποιεῖν αὐτόν, ἅ μὴ κατέθηκεν μηδ᾽ ἀναιρεῖσθαι, and Plato Legg. xi. (913 C) κάλλιστον νόμων διαφθείρων καὶ ἁπλούστατον καὶ οὐδαμῆ ἀγεννοῦς ἀνδρὸς νομοθέτημα, ὃς εἶπεν · Ἃ μὴ κατέθου μὴ ἀνέλῃ. In MGr only as compounded, παίρνω = ἀπαίρω.
