for which see BEG , B, has the broad sense of "poor," (a) literally, e.g., Matthew 11:5; 26:9,11; Luke 21:3 (with stress on the word, "a conspicuously poor widow"); John 12:5,6,8; 13:29; James 2:2,3,6; the "poor" are constantly the subjects of injunctions to assist them, Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21; Luke 14:13,21; 18:22; Romans 15:26; Galatians 2:10; (b) metaphorically, Matthew 5:3; Luke 6:20; Revelation 3:17 .

akin to B, "needy, poor," is used of the widow in Luke 21:2 (cp. No. 1, of the same woman, in ver. 3); it is used frequently in the papyri. In the Sept., Exodus 22:25; Proverbs 28:15; 29:7 .

"a laborer "(akin to penomai, "to work for one's daily bread"), is translated "poor" in 2 Corinthians 9:9 .

"to be poor as a beggar" (akin to A, No. 1), "to be destitute," is said of Christ in 2 Corinthians 8:9 .
