Esteem

signifies "to lead;" then, "to lead before the mind, to suppose, consider, esteem;" translated "esteem" in Phi 2:3, AV, RV, "counting;" in 1Th 5:13, "esteem;" in Heb 11:26, AV, "esteeming," RV, "accounting."

signifies "to separate, choose;" then, "to approve, esteem;" translated "esteemeth" in Rom 14:5 (twice), said of days; here the word "alike" (AV) is rightly omitted in the RV, the meaning being that every day is especially regarded as sacred. See DETERMINE.

"to reckon," is translated "esteemeth" in Rom 14:14 (RV, "accounteth"). See ACCOUNT.

Notes: (1) In 1Co 6:4, AV, exoutheneo, "to set at nought," is rendered "are least esteemed;" the meaning is that judges in the world's tribunals have no place (are not of account) in the church. See ACCOUNT. (2) In the AV marg. of 1Pe 2:17, timao, "to honor," is rendered "esteem." (3) For "highly esteemed," Luk 16:15, AV, see EXALT, B.
