(Strong's #2783 — Noun Masculine — kerux — kay'-roox )

"a herald" (akin to A, No. 2 and B, above), is used (a) of the "preacher" of the Gospel, 1 Timothy 2:7; 2 Timothy 1:11; (b) of Noah, as a "preacher" of righteousness, 2 Peter 2:5 .

Notes: (1) For "a preacher," in Romans 10:14 , where the verb kerusso is used, see PREACH , A, No. 2. (2) Kerux indicates the "preacher" as giving a proclamation; euangelistes points to his message as glad tidings; apostolos suggests his relationship to Him by whom he is sent.
