Winer s Grammar, § 34,3b.; Buttmann, § 132,10), names by [[which]] God is blasphemed, his [[majesty]] assailed, R G Tr, [[see]] [[γέμω]]). so used [[that]] the [[name]] is opposed to the [[reality]]: [[ὄνομα]] ἔχεις, [[ὅτι]] ζῇς, [[καί]] [[νεκρός]] εἰ, thou [[art]] said (A.

Winer's Grammar, 390 (365)).<br /><b class="num">2.</b> By a [[usage]] [[chiefly]] Hebraistic the [[name]] is used for [[everything]] [[which]] the [[name]] covers, [[everything]] the [[thought]] or [[feeling]] of [[which]] is roused in the [[mind]] by mentioning, [[hearing]], [[remembering]], the [[name]], i. e. for [[one]]'s [[rank]], [[authority]], interests, [[pleasure]], [[command]], excellences, deeds, etc.; [[thus]], [[εἰς]] [[ὄνομα]] προφήτου, [[out]] of [[regard]] for ([[see]] [[εἰς]], B. II:2d.) the [[name]] of [[prophet]] [[which]] he bears, equivalent to [[because]] he is a [[prophet]], βαπτίζειν τινα [[εἰς]] [[ὄνομα]] τίνος, by baptism to [[bind]] anyone to recognize and [[publicly]] [[acknowledge]] the [[dignity]] and [[authority]] of [[one]] (cf. [[βαπτίζω]], II.<br /><b class="num">b.</b> (aa.)), to do a [[thing]] ἐν ὀνόματι τίνος, i. e. by [[one]]'s [[command]] and [[authority]], acting on his [[behalf]], promoting his [[cause]] (cf. Winer s Grammar, 390 (365); Buttmann, § 147,10); as, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου (from ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι [[τοῦ]] πατρός μου, ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ, of his [[own]] [[free]]-[[will]] and [[authority]], ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι of Jesus, L T Tr WH in κυρίου [[here]] denotes God; cf. 2f. [[below]]). According to a [[very]] [[frequent]] [[usage]] in the O. T. (cf. יְהוָה שֵׁם), the [[name]] of God in the N. T. is used for [[all]] those qualities [[which]] to his worshippers are summed up in [[that]] [[name]], and by [[which]] God makes [[himself]] [[known]] to men; it is [[therefore]] equivalent to his [[divinity]], Latin numen ([[not]] his [[nature]] or [[essence]] as it is in itself), the [[divine]] [[majesty]] and perfections, so [[far]] [[forth]] as these are apprehended, named, magnified (cf. Winer, Lex. [[Hebrew]] et Chald., p. 993; Oehler in Herzog x., p. 196ff; Wittichen in Schenkel iv., p. 282ff); so in the phrases [[ἅγιον]] τό [[ὄνομα]] [[αὐτοῦ]] [[namely]], ἐστιν, ἁγιάζειν τό [[ὄνομα]] [[τοῦ]] Θεοῦ, ὁμολογεῖν τῷ ὀνόματι [[αὐτοῦ]], ψάλλειν, δοξάζειν, φανερουν, γνωρίζειν, φοβεῖσθαι τό [[ὄνομα]] [[τοῦ]] Θεοῦ, G L T Tr WH); διαγγέλλειν, ἀπαγγέλλειν, βλασφημεῖν, ἀγάπην ἐνδείκνυσθαι [[εἰς]] τό [[ὄνομα]] [[τοῦ]] Θεοῦ, τήρησον αὐτούς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι [[σου]], ᾧ (by [[attraction]] for ὁ (cf. Buttmann, § 143,8, p. 286; Winer s Grammar, § 24,1; [[incorrectly]] οὕς)) δέδωκάς μοι, [[keep]] [[them]] [[consecrated]] and united to [[thy]] [[name]] ([[character]]), [[which]] thou didst [[commit]] to me to [[declare]] and [[manifest]] (cf. [[verse]] 6), [[ὑπέρ]] [[τοῦ]] ἁγίου ὀνόματος [[σου]], οὗ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις [[ἡμῶν]], ' Teaching etc., [[chapter]] 10,2 [ET]). After the [[analogy]] of the [[preceding]] [[expression]], the [[name]] of Christ (Ἰησοῦ, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, [[τοῦ]] κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, [[τοῦ]] κυρίου [[ἡμῶν]], etc.) is used in the N. T. of [[all]] those things [[which]], in [[hearing]] or recalling [[that]] [[name]], we are bidden to recognize in Jesus and to [[profess]]; [[accordingly]], of "his Messianic [[dignity]], [[divine]] [[authority]], [[memorable]] sufferings, in a [[word]] the [[peculiar]] services and blessings conferred by him on men," so [[far]] [[forth]] as these are believed, confessed, commemorated (cf. Westcott on the Epistles of John, p. 232): [[hence]], the phrases εὐαγγελίζεσθαι τά [[περί]] [[τοῦ]] ὀνοματου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μεγαλύνειν τό [[ὄνομα]] τῷ ὀνόματι ( ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι) [[αὐτοῦ]] ἐλπίζειν, Buttmann, 156 (153)); πιστεύειν, πιστεύουσιν [[εἰς]] τό [[ὄνομα]],, 13 b); [[πίστις]] [[τοῦ]] [[ὄνομα]], ὁ ὀνομάζων τό [[ὄνομα]] κυρίου, [[whoever]] nameth the [[name]] of the Lord [[namely]], as his Lord ([[see]] [[ὀνομάζω]], a.), κρατεῖν, to [[hold]] [[fast]] i. e. [[persevere]] in professing, [[οὐκ]] ἀρνεῖσθαι, τό [[ὄνομα]] Ἰησοῦ ἐνδοξάζεται ἐν [[ὑμῖν]], βαστάζειν τό [[ὄνομα]] [[ἐνώπιον]] ἐθνῶν ([[see]] [[βαστάζω]], 3), [[ἐπί]] τῷ ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, [[see]] [[ἐπί]], B. 2a. β., p. 232b. The [[phrase]] ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ is used in [[various]] senses:<br /><b class="num">a.</b> by the [[command]] and [[authority]] of Christ: [[see]] examples [[just]] [[above]].<br /><b class="num">b.</b> in the [[use]] of the [[name]] of Christ i. e. the [[power]] of his [[name]] [[being]] invoked for [[assistance]], Relz L T Tr WH ([[see]] f. [[below]]); ἐν ποιῶ ὀνόματι ἐποιήσατε [[τοῦτο]]; [[through]] the [[power]] of Christ's [[name]], pervading and governing [[their]] souls, in acknowledging, embracing, professing, the [[name]] of Christ: σωθῆναι, δικαιωθῆναι, ζωήν ἔχειν, in professing and proclaiming the [[name]] of Christ, παρρησιάζεσθαι, relying or resting on the [[name]] of Christ, [[rooted]] (so to [[speak]]) in his [[name]], i. e. [[mindful]] of Christ: ποιεῖν τί, εὐχαριστεῖν, αἰτεῖν τί, i. e. (for [[substance]]) "to [[ask]] a [[thing]], as prompted by the [[mind]] of Christ and in [[reliance]] on the [[bond]] [[which]] unites us to him," R G L in 23; cf. Ebrard, Gebet im Namen Jesu, in Herzog iv. 692ff. God is said to do a [[thing]] ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, regardful of the [[name]] of Christ, i. e. moved by the [[name]] of Christ, for Christ's [[sake]], διδόναι the [[thing]] asked, T Tr WH; πέμπειν τό [[πνεῦμα]] τό [[ἅγιον]] ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ (A. V. for the [[name]] of Christ) (German auf Grund Namens Christi), i. e. [[because]] [[one]] calls [[himself]] or is called by the [[name]] of Christ: ὀνειδίζεσθαι, ὡς [[Χριστιανός]], 16). The [[simple]] dative τῷ ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ signifies by the [[power]] of Christ's [[name]], pervading and prompting souls, τῷ ὀνόματι [[τοῦ]] κυρίου (i. e. of God) λαλεῖν, of the prophets, R G; τῷ ὀνόματι [[σου]], by uttering [[thy]] [[name]] as a [[spell]], Rst bez G ([[see]] b. [[above]]). [[εἰς]] τό [[ὄνομα]] [[τοῦ]] Χριστοῦ συνάγεσθαι is used of those [[who]] [[come]] [[together]] to [[deliberate]] [[concerning]] [[any]] [[matter]] relating to Christ's [[cause]] (German auf [[den]] Namen), [[with]] the [[mind]] directed [[unto]], having [[regard]] [[unto]], his [[name]], [[ἕνεκεν]] [[τοῦ]] ὀνοματου (A. V. for my [[name]]'s [[sake]]), i. e. on [[account]] of professing my [[name]], [[διά]] τό [[ὄνομα]] μου, [[αὐτοῦ]], etc.: [[διά]] [[τοῦ]] ὀνόματος [[τοῦ]] κυρίου παρακαλεῖν τινα, to [[beseech]] [[one]] by employing Christ's [[name]] as a [[motive]] or [[incentive]] (cf. Winer's Grammar, 381 (357)), his [[name]], ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν [[λαβεῖν]], [[ὑπέρ]] [[τοῦ]] ὀνόματος [[αὐτοῦ]], equivalent to for defending, spreading, strengthening, the [[authority]] of Christ, τό [[ὄνομα]] is used [[absolutely]], the Name, [[namely]], κυρίου, of the Lord Jesus; so Vat. Lightfoot on Ignatius ad Ephesians 3,1 [ET]; Buttmann, 163 (142) [[note]]; Winer s Grammar, 594 (553). So Lightfoot in [[πρός]] τό [[ὄνομα]] Ἰησοῦ [[τοῦ]] Ναζωραίου ... [[ἐναντία]] [[πρᾶξαι]], שֵׁמות (ὀνόματα is used equivalent to persons reckoned up by [[name]]: nomen, equivalent to the [[cause]] or [[reason]] named: ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι [[τούτῳ]], in [[this]] [[cause]], i. e. on [[this]] [[account]], [[namely]], [[because]] he suffers as a Christian, L T Tr WH (others, [[more]] [[simply]], [[take]] [[ὄνομα]] [[here]] as referring to [[Χριστιανός]] [[preceding]]); ἐν ὀνόματι, [[ὅτι]] (as in Syriac d)MSB ) Χριστοῦ ἐστε, in [[this]] [[name]], i. e. for [[this]] [[reason]], [[because]] ye are Christ's (disciples), Mark 9:41.
