Note: In 1 Corinthians 13:8 , AV, katargeo, "to abolish," is rendered "it shall vanish away" (RV, "... be done away"). See ABOLISH.

(Strong's #854 — Noun Masculine — aphanismos — af-an-is-mos' )

a, negative, phaino, "to cause to appear" (akin to A), occurs in Hebrews 8:13 , RV, "(nigh unto) vanishing away;" the word is suggestive of abolition.
