, 3609), akin to A, No. 1, primarily signifies “of, or belonging to, a
house,” hence, “of persons, one’s household, or kindred,” as in 1 Tim. 5:8,
RV
,
“household,”
KJV
“house,” marg., “kindred”; in Eph. 2:19, “the household of God”
denotes the company of the redeemed; in Gal. 6:10, it is called “the household of the
faith,”
RV

HOUSEHOLDER
A. Noun.
(
*
, 3617), “a master of a house” (
, “a house,”
, “a master”), is rendered “master of the house” in Matt. 10:25; Luke 13:25, and
14:21, where the context shows that the authority of the “householder” is stressed; in
Matt. 24:43 and Luke 12:39, the
RV
“master of the house” (
KJV
, “goodman of the house,”
does not give the exact meaning); “householder” is the rendering in both versions in
Matt. 13:27, 52; 20:1; 21:33; so the
RV
in 20:11 (for
KJV
