(

, 1520), the first cardinal numeral, masculine (feminine and neuter
nominative forms are
and
, respectively), is used to signify (1) (a) “one” in
contrast to many, e.g., Matt. 25:15; Rom. 5:18,
RV
, “(through) one (trespass),” i.e.,
Adam’s transgression, in contrast to the “one act of righteousness,” i.e., the death of
Christ (not as
KJV
, “the offense of one,” and “the righteousness of one”); (b)
metaphorically, “union” and “concord,” e.g., John 10:30; 11:52; 17:11, 21-22; Rom.
12:4-5; Phil. 1:27; (2) emphatically, (a) a single (“one”), to the exclusion of others, e.g.,
Matt. 21:24; Rom. 3:10; 1 Cor. 9:24; 1 Tim. 2:5 (twice); (b) “one, alone,” e.g., Mark 2:7,
RV
(
KJV
, “only”); 10:18; Luke 18:19; (c) “one and the same,” e.g., Rom. 3:30,
RV
, “God
is one,” i.e., there is not “one” God for the Jew and one for the Gentile; cf. Gal. 3:20,
which means that in a promise there is no other party; 1 Cor. 3:8; 11:5; 12:11; 1 John 5:8
(lit., “and the three are into one,” i.e., united in “one” and the same witness); (3) a certain
“one,” in the same sense as the indefinite pronoun
(see B, No. 1), e.g., Matt. 8:19,
RV

“a (scribe),” marg., “one (scribe),”
KJV
, “a certain (scribe)”; 19:16, “one;” in Rev. 8:13,

are used together in Luke 22:50; John 11:49; this occurs
frequently in the papyri (Moulton,

, p. 96); (4) distributively, with
, “each,”
i.e., “every one,” e.g., Luke 4:40; Acts 2:6, “every man” (lit., “every one”); in the sense
of “one … and one,” e.g., John 20:12; or “one” … followed by

in the sense of “severally (members) one (of
another),”
RV
(
KJV
, “every one … one”); cf. Mark 14:19; in 1 Thess. 5:11 the phrase in
the 2nd part, “each other,”
RV
(
KJV
, “one another”), is, lit., “one the one”; (5) as an
ordinal number, equivalent to
, “first,” in the phrase “the first day of the week,” lit.
and idiomatically, “one of sabbaths,” signifying “the first day after the sabbath,” e.g.,
Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2. Moulton remarks on the tendency for
certain cardinal numerals to replace ordinals (
8 !
, p. 96).
