SELL
1.
(

, 4453), “to exchange or barter, to sell,” is used in the latter sense in
the NT, six times in Matthew, three in Mark, six in Luke; in John only in connection with
the cleansing of the Temple by the Lord, 2:14, 16; in Acts only in connection with the
disposing of property for distribution among the community of believers, 4:34, 37; 5:1;
elsewhere, 1 Cor. 10:25; Rev. 13:17.
2.
(

, 4097), from an earlier form,
, “to carry across the sea
for the purpose of selling or to export,” is used (a) literally, Matt. 13:46; 18:25; 26:9;
Mark 14:5; John 12:5; Acts 2:45; 4:34; 5:4; (b) metaphorically, Rom. 7:14, “sold under
sin,” i.e., as fully under the domination of sin as a slave is under his master; the statement
evinces an utter dissatisfaction with such a condition; it expresses, not the condemnation
of the unregenerate state, but the evil of bondage to a corrupt nature, involving the futility
of making use of the Law as a means of deliverance.¶

act in “selling” his birthright, Heb. 12:16.
