1. to exercise, practise, be busy with, carry on: τά περίεργα, [Act 19:19]; τά ἰδίᾳ, to mind one's own affairs, [1Th 4:11] (τά ἑαυτοῦ (Sophocles Electr. 678); Xenophon, mem. 2, 9, 1; Plato, Phaedr., p. 247a.; Demosthenes, p. 150, 21; others); used of performing the duties of an office, [1Co 9:17]. to undertake to do, μηδέν προπετές, [Act 19:36].
2. to accomplish, to perform: πεπραγμένον ἐστιν, has been accomplished, has taken place, [Act 26:26]; εἴτε ἀγαθόν, εἴτε κακόν, [2Co 5:10]; ἀγαθόν ἤ φαῦλον (κακόν), [Rom 9:11] (δίκαια ἤ ἄδικα, Plato, Apology, p. 28 b.); ἄξια τῆς μετανοίας ἔργα, [Act 26:20]; add, [Rom 7:15], [Rom 7:19]; [Phi 4:9]; μόνον, to do, i. e. keep the law, [Rom 2:25]; of unworthy acts, to commit, perpetrate (less frequent so in Greek writings, as πολλά καί ἀνόσια, Xenophon, symp. 8, 22; with them ποιεῖν ((see Schmidt, Syn., chapter 23, 11, 3; Liddell and Scott, under the word, B.)) is more common in reference to bad conduct; hence, τούς ἐπισταμένους μέν ἅ δεῖ πράττειν, ποιοῦντας δέ ταναντια, Xenophon, mem. 3, 9, 4), [Act 26:9]; [2Co 12:21]; τό ἔργον τοῦτο, this (criminal) deed, [1Co 5:2] T WH Tr marginal reading; add, [Luk 22:23]; [Act 3:17]; [Act 5:35]; [Rom 7:19]; τά τοιαῦτα, such nameless iniquities, [Rom 1:32] (where ποιεῖν and πράσσειν are used indiscriminately (but cf.

3. to manage public affairs, transact public business (Xenophon, Demosthenes, Plutarch); from this use has come a sense met with from Pindar, Aeschylus, Herodotus down, viz. to exact tribute, revenue, debts: [Luk 3:13] (here R. V. extort); τό ἀργύριον, [Luk 19:23] (soagere in Latin, cf. the commentators on Suetonius, Vesp. 1; (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 42, 1 a.)).
4. intransitive, to act (see εὖ, p. 256a): ἀπέναντι τίνος, contrary to a thing, [Act 17:7].
