ACTUALLY
(

, “all, whole,” is translated “actually” in 1 Cor. 5:1,
RV
(“it is actually reported”); the
KJV
“commonly” does not convey the meaning. In 6:7 it is
translated “altogether” (
KJV
, “utterly”); in 15:29, “at all,” as in Matt. 5:34. See

ADD
1.
(
# &

, “to put”), has
a secondary and somewhat infrequent meaning, “to add to,” and is found in this sense in
Mark 3:16-17, lit., “He added the name Peter to Simon,” “He added to them the name
Boanerges,” and Rev. 22:18, where the word is set in contrast to “take away from” (v.
19). See

2.
(
$ &
, 4369), “to put to” (
, “to,”
, “to put”), “to add,
or to place beside” (the primary meaning), in Luke 17:5 is translated “increase,” in the
request “increase our faith”; in Luke 20:11-12, “he sent yet” (
KJV
, “again he sent”), lit.,
“he added and sent,” as in 19:11, “He added and spake.” In Acts 12:3,
RV
, “proceeded,”
KJV
, “proceeded further” (of repeating or continuing the action mentioned by the
following verb); in Acts 13:36,“was laid unto”; in Heb. 12:19, “more … be spoken,” (lit.,
“that no word should be added”). In Gal. 3:19, “What then is the law? It was “added”
because of transgressions, there is no contradiction of what is said in v. 15, where the
word is
(see No. 4), for there the latter word conveys the idea of
supplementing an agreement already made; here in v. 19 the meaning is not that
something had been ‘added’ to the promise with a view to complete it, which the apostle
denies, but that something had been given “in addition” to the promise, as in Rom. 5:20,
“The law came in beside.” See

3.
(
$
&
, 4323), lit., “to lay upon in addition,” came to be
used in the sense of putting oneself before another, for the purpose of consulting him;
hence simply “to consult, to take one into counsel, to confer.” With this meaning it is
used only in Gal. 1:16. In Gal. 2:2, a shorter form,
, is used, which means “to
lay before” (
KJV
, “communicated unto”). This less intensive word may have been
purposely used there by the apostle to suggest that he described to his fellow apostles the
character of his teaching, not to obtain their approval or their advice concerning it, but
simply that they might have the facts of the case before them on which they were shortly
to adjudicate.
It was also used to signify “to communicate, to impart.” With this meaning it is used
only in Gal. 2:6, in the middle voice, the suggestion being to “add” from one’s store of
things. In regard to his visit to Jerusalem the apostle says “those who were of repute
imparted nothing to me” (
KJV
, “in conference added”), that is to say, they neither
modified his teaching nor “added” to his authority. See
