ἁγιασμός (G38)

10 † ἁγιασμός , -οῦ, ὁ ( ἁγιάζω ), [in LXX: Ez 45:4 ( מִקְדָּשׁ ), Si 7:31 , etc.;] as an active verbal noun in -μός , it signifies properly the process τὸ ἁγιάζειν , rather than the resultant state, ἁγιωσύνη , hence, consecration ; sanctification : so strictly in Ro 6:19 , 22 (but v. Meyer), I Co 1:30 , I Th 4:3 , 7 , II Th 2:13 , He 12:14 , I Pe 1:2 . Elsewhere it perhaps (Ellic.; but v. Milligan, Th. , 48) inclines to the resultant state: I Th 4:4 , I Ti 2:15 (Cremer, 55, 602).†
