Thayer's Expanded Definition

στέγω; (allied with Latintego, toga, English deck, thatch, etc.; Curtius, § 155 Fick Part 3:590); to cover;

1. to protect or keep by covering, to preserve: Sophocles, Plato, Plutarch, others.

2. to cover over with silence; to keep secret; to hide, conceal: ταμα ἔπη, Euripides, Electr. 273; τόν λόγον, Polybius 8, 14, 5; for other examples see Passow, under the word, 1 b. β.; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, II. 2); μωρός οὐ δυνήσεται λόγον στέξαι, Sir. 8:17; hence, ἡ ἀγάπη πάντα στέγει, 1 Corinthians 13:7, is explained by some, love covereth (so R. V. marginal reading), i. e. hides and excuses, the errors and faults of others; but it is more appropriately rendered (with other interpreters) beareth. For στέγω means

3. by covering to keep off something which threatens, to bear up against, hold out against, and so to endure, bear, forbear (τάς ἐνδείας, Philo in Flacc. § 9; many examples from Greek authors from Aeschylus down are given by Passow, under the word, 2; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, A. especially 3)): 1 Corinthians 9:12; 1 Corinthians 13:7; 1 Thessalonians 3:1, 5.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

συνβιβάζω has its ordinary Greek sense ";bring together,"; ";compact"; in Ephesians 4:16, Colossians 2:2; Colossians 2:19, but in 1 Corinthians 2:16 συνβιβάσει (for form see Moulton Gr. ii. p. 187) the meaning is ";instruct,"; as always in the LXX (Isaiah 40:13 f. al.) : so Acts 19:33, and cf. Acts 9:22; Acts 16:10.

For a similar development of meaning, cf. ἐκβιβάζω in such passages as P Oxy II. 260.15 (A.D. 59) μέχρι οὗ ἃ ἔχωμεν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς ἐγ [β ]ιβασθῆι, ";until our suit is decided"; (Edd.), P Hamb I. 4.10 (A.D. 87) μέχρι οὗ ἐκβιβάσω ἃ ἔχει πρός με, and P Oxy IX. 1195.8 (A.D. 135) ἐκβιβάζων τὰ ἐνεστῶτ [ά μοι π ]ρὸς Ἑρμ [α ]ῖον, ";in explanation of my case against Hermaeus"; (Ed.).
