(
&

calculation or imputation, e.g., Gal. 3:6 (
RV

themselves (
KJV
, “think”), i.e., as to attribute anything to themselves. Cf. 12:6. In 2 Tim.
4:16 it is used of laying to a person’s “account” (
RV
) as a charge against him (

@
,
“worthy”), “to judge worthy,” Luke 20:35; some mss. have it in 21:36 (so the

6.
@ $
(
#
!
, 1848), “to make of no account,” frequently signifies “to
despise.” In 1 Cor. 6:4, it is used, not in a contemptuous sense, but of gentile judges,
before whom the saints are not to go to law with one another, such magistrates having no
place, and therefore being “of no account” (
RV
), in the church. The apostle is not
speaking of any believers as “least esteemed” (
KJV
). In 2 Cor. 10:10, for
KJV
,
“contemptible,” the
RV
suitably has “of no account.” See
DESPISE
