Greek NT Gateway latest QEOTHS-Col 2:9 Dear Friends, In Col 2:9 the word QEOTHS is used, and is usually translated “Deity” or “Godhead”. Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon defines it as “Godhead, the state of being God”. I believe this word only appears in this text in all the GNT. Thayer comments that this word is different than QEIOTHS (Acts 17:29; Rom 1:20) which is usually translated as “Divinity”. Does anyone know where in other Greek literature contemporaneous or prior to the writing of Colossians this word is used outside the GNT? Many thanks.

s & SBL MT 9:17 Both “Little Kittel” (page 322) and Louw & Nida (page 140) treat QEOTHS and QEIOTHSas nearly synonymous in meaning. For both, Louw & Nida give “the nature or state ofbeing God – ‘deity, divine nature, divine being,'” and for both, “Little Kittel”gives “divinity.” Did you perhaps mean QEIOS, which is the word at Acts 17:29, notQEIOTHS?It might be interesting also to know the context or range of meaning QEOTHS is givenin the other Greek contemporaneous literature.Solomon LandersMemra Institute for Biblical Researchhttp://www.memrain.orgTony Costa wrote:> Dear Friends,> > In Col 2:9 the word QEOTHS is used, and is usually translated “Deity” or> “Godhead”.
