G4632 — σκεῦος

σκεύους, τό (probably from the root, sku, 'to cover'; cf. Latinscutum, cutis, obscurus; Curtius, § 113; Vanicek, p. 1115), from (Aristophanes), Thucydides down; the Sept. for כְּלִי;

1. a vessel: Mar 11:16; Luk 8:16; Joh 19:29; Act 10:11, Act 10:16; Act 11:5; 2Ti 2:20; Rev 2:27; Rev 18:12; τά Σκευᾶ τῆς λειτουργίας, to be used in performing religious rites, Heb 9:21; σκεῦος εἰς τιμήν, unto honor, i. e. for honorable use, Rom 9:21; 2Ti 2:21 (καθαρῶν ἔργων δοῦλα σκεύη, Wis. 15:7); εἰς ἀτιμίαν, unto dishonor, i. e. for a low use (as, a urinal), Rom 9:21; σκεύη ὀργῆς, into which wrath is emptied, i. e. men appointed by God unto woe, hence, the addition κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν, Rom 9:22; σκεύη ἐλέους, fitted to receive mercy — explained by the words ἅ προητοίμασεν εἰς δόξαν, Rom 9:23; τό σκεῦος is used of a woman, as the vessel of her husband, 1Th 4:4 (see κτάομαι; (others take it here (as in 2Co 4:7 below) of the body)); the female sex, as being weaker than the male, is likened to a σκεῦος ἀσθενεστερον, in order to commend to husbands the obligations of kindness toward their wives (for the weaker the vessels, the greater must be the care lest they be broken), 1Pe 3:7; ὀστράκινα σκεύη is applied to human bodies, as frail, 2Co 4:7.

2. an implement; plural household utensils, mestic gear: Mat 12:29; Mar 3:27 (Luk 17:31 (in these passages R. V. has goods); as the plural often in Greek writings denotes the tackle and armament of vessels (Xenophon, oec. 8, 12; Plato, Critias, p. 117 d.; Lach., p. 183 e.; Polyb 22, 26, 13), so the singular τό σκεῦος seems to be used specifically and collectively of the sails and ropes (R. V. gear) in Act 27:17. metaphorically, of a man: σκεῦος ἐκλογῆς (genitive of quality), a chosen instrument (or (so A. V.) 'vessel'), Act 9:15; in a base sense, an assistant in accomplishing evil deeds (cf. English 'tool'), σκεῦος ὑπηρετικον, Polybius 13, 5, 7; 15, 25, 1.
