English (Thayer)

(ας, ἡ (a word unknown to the Greeks, who used ἡ ἀκροποσθία and τό ἀκροπόσθιον, from πόσθη i. e. membrum virile. Accordingly it is likely that τήν ποσθην of the Greeks was pronounced τήν βύστην by the Alexandrians, and ἀκροβυστία said instead of ἀκροπόσθια — i. e. τό ἄκρον τῆς πόσθης; cf. the acute remarks of Fritzsche, Commentary on Romans , vol. i., 136, together with the opinion which Winer prefers 99 (94) (and Cremer, 3te Anti. under the word)), in the Sept. the equivalent of עָרְלָה the prepuce, the skin covering the glans penis;
a. properly: ἐν ἀκροβυστία ὤν having the foreskin (Tertullian praeputiatus), uncircumcised i. e. Gentile, ἐν ἀκροβυστία, namely, ὤν, δἰ ἀκροβυστίας, ἡ ἐν τῇ ἀκροβυστία πίστις the faith which one has while he is uncircumcised, having the foreskin is equiv. to a Gentile: ἡ ἐκ φύσεως ἀκροβυστία, one uncircumcised by birth or a Gentile, opposed to a Jew who shows himself a Gentile in character, εὐαγγέλιον τῆς ἀκροβυστίας gospel to be preached to the Gentiles, ἡ ἀκροβυστία τῆς σαρκός (opposed to the περιτομή ἀχειροποίητος or regeneration, σάρξ were not yet extinct," B. D. under the word Smith's Bible Dictionary, Circumcision)).
