Thayer's Expanded Definition

βιόω, βίῳ: 1 aorist infinitive βιῶσαι; for which in Attic the 2 aorist infinitive βιωναι is more common, cf. Winers Grammar, 84 (80); (Buttmann, 54 (48); Veitch, or Liddell and Scott, under the word); (βίος); (from Homer down); to spend life, to live: τόν χρόνον, to pass the time, 1 Peter 4:2; (Job 29:18; ἡμέρας, Xenophon, mem. 4, 8, 2). (Synonym: see βίος, at the end.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Lips I. 119 versoii. 6 (A.D. 274) περὶ τὸ ὀρθῶς καὶ ἀ [ζ ]η ̣λοπραγμόνως τῶν ὑπαρξάντων ἀγαθῶν ἐμφορουμένους βιοῦν , P Flor I. 57.3 (A.D. 223–5) (a rescript of Pertinax) τοῖς ἑ [β ]δ ̣ο ̣μ ̣η ̣κ ̣ο ̣ντα ἔτη βεβιω ̣κόσι γέρας ἀλ ̣ιτ ̣ο ̣υρ ̣γησίας [is granted as an old age pension] (cf. the contemporary P Flor III. 382.55 f.), Syll 856.16 (ii/B.C.—a manumission ";sale"; to Apollo, in dialect) εἰ γε [ν ]εὰν ποιήσαιτο Δαμαρχὶς Θευδώρας βιούσας , during the lifetime of Th. (her mistress). The aor. is abundant in epitaphs, as Preisigke 776 (A.D. 259) Ἱερακίαινα . . . βιώσασα ἔτη η ̄ καὶ μην (ῶν ) τριῶν , 1190 (Christian) Ταήσαι ἐβίωσεν εἴκουσι ὀκτώ , γ (ίνονται ) (ἔτη ) κ ̄η ̄. So in the ";letter of Hadrian,"; P Fay 19.12 τεσσαρά ]κοντα βιώσας ἔτη . For this 1st aor. in -σα see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 233 f. An interesting example of this verb is afforded by Musonius (ed. Hense) p. 89.16 f. ὥστε καὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον εἰκὸς οὐχ ὅταν ἐν ἡδονῇ βιοῖ , τότε κατὰ φύσιν βιοῦν , ἀλλ᾽ ὅταν ἐν ἀρετῇ .
