λύω; imperfect ἐλυον; 1 aorist ἔλυσά; passive, present λύομαι; imperfect ἐλυομην; perfect 2 person singular λέλυσαι, participle λελυμενος; 1 aorist ἐλυθην; 1 future λυθήσομαι; from Homer down; the Sept. several times for פָּתַח, to open, הִתִּיר and Chaldean שְׁרֵא (Daniel 3:25; Daniel 5:12); to loose; i. e.:
1. to loose any person (or thing) tied or fastened: properly, the bandages of the feet, the shoes, Mark 1:7; Luke 3:16; John 1:27; Acts (
2. to loose one bound, i. e. to unbind, release from bonds, set free: one bound up (swathed in bandages), John 11:44; bound with chains (a prisoner), Acts 22:30 (where Rec. adds ἀπό τῶν δεσμῶν); hence, equivalent to to discharge from prison, let go, Acts 24:26 Rec. (so as far back as Homer); in Apocalyptic vision of the devil (κεκλεισμένον), Revelation 20:3; ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς αὐτοῦ, 7; metaphorically, to free (ἀπό δεσμοῦ) from the bondage of disease (one held by Satan) by restoration to health, Luke 13:16; to release one bound by the chains of sin, ἐκ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν, Revelation 1:5 L T Tr WH (see λούω at the end (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 30, 6 a.)).
3. to loosen, undo, dissolve, anything bound, tied, or compacted together: the seal of a book, Revelation 5:2 (5 Rec.); tropically, τόν δεσμόν τῆς γλώσσης τίνος, to remove an impediment of speech, restore speech to a dumb man, Mark 7:35 (Justin, hist. 13, 7, 1 cui nomen Battos propter linguae obligationem init; 6 linguae nodis solutis loqui primum coepit); an assembly, i. e. to dismiss, break up: τήν συναγωγήν, passive, Acts 13:43 (ἀγορην, Homer, Iliad 1, 305; Odyssey 2, 257, etc.; Apoll. Rh. 1, 708; τήν στρατιάν, Xenophon, Cyril 6, 1, 2); of the bonds of death, λύειν τάς ὠδῖνας τοῦ θαντου, Acts 2:24 (see ὠδίν). Laws, as having binding force, are likened to bonds; hence, λύειν is equivalent to to annul, subvert; to do away with; to deprive of authority, whether by precept or by act: ἐντολήν, Matthew 5:19; τόν νόμον, John 7:23; τό σάββατον, the commandment concerning the sabbath, John 5:18; τήν γραφήν, John 10:35; cf. Kuinoel on Matthew 5:17; (on the singular reading λύει τόν Ἰησοῦ, 1 John 4:3 WH marginal reading see Westcott's Commentary at the passage); by a Chaldean and Talmudic usage (equivalent to אַתֵּר, שְׁרֵא (cf. Winer's Grammar, 32)), opposed to δέω (which see 2 c.), to declare lawful: Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18 (but cf. Weiss in Meyer 7te Aufl. ad the passages cited). to loose what is compacted or built together, to break up, demolish, destroy: properly, in passive ἐλύετο ἡ πρύμνα, was breaking to pieces, Acts 27:41; τόν ναόν, John 2:19; τό μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ, Ephesians 2:14 (τά τείχη, 1 Esdr. 1:52; γέφυραν, Xenophon, an. 2, 4, 17f); to dissolve something coherent into parts, to destroy: passive (τούτων πάντων λυομένων, 2 Peter 3:11); τά στοιχεῖα (καυσούμενα), 2 Peter 3:10; οὐρανοί (πυρούμενοι), 2 Peter 3:12; metaphorically, to overthrow, do away with: τά ἔργα τοῦ διαβόλου, 1 John 3:8. (Compare: ἀναλύω, ἀπολύω, διαλύω, ἐκλύω, ἐπιλύω, καταλύω, πυραλύω.)

With the use of λύω in Revelation 5:2 τίς ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ; cf. P Oxy IV. 715.19 (A.D. 131) κατὰ διαθήκην τὴν καὶ λυθεῖσαν τῶι ι ̄β ̄ (ἔτει) Ἁδριανοῦ Καίσαρος τοῦ κυρίου, ";in accordance with a will which was opened in the 12th year of Hadrianus Caesar the lord"; (Edd.), and similarly BGU I. 326ii. 21 (A.D. 194) καὶ ἀνεγνώσθησαν τῇ αὐτῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν ᾗ καὶ ἡ διαθήκη ἐλύθη. In P Oxy XII. 1473.6 (A.D. 201) ἥτις συνγραφὴ ἐλύθη τῷ διελθόντι ς ̄ (ἔτει) μηνὶ Θώθ, the reference is to the ";discharge"; of a marriage-contract, a usage which lends point to the verb in 1 John 3:8. For λύω, ";set at naught,"; ";break,"; as in Matthew 5:19, John 7:23, see Syll 479 (iii/B.C.)where certain regulations are followed by the threat—.21 ἐὰν δέ τις τούτων τι λύηι, κατάρατος ἔστω. With ";breaking"; the Sabbath we may compare λύειν τὰ πένθη, ";to go out of mourning,"; Syll 879.12 (end of iii/B.C.). In P Fay 119.7 (c. A.D. 100) rotten hay is described as ὤλον (l. ὅλον) λελυμένον ὡς σκύβαλον, ";the whole of it decayed—no better than dung"; (Edd.), and in ib. 120.8 (c. A.D. 100) we have—λύσις εὐθέω (l. εὐθέως) εἰς Ἀ.[ . . ] τὰ δράγματα, ";you will send off the sheaves immediately to A . . . "; : cf. also P Oxy XII. 1477.18 (question to an oracle—iii/iv A.D.) εἶ λύεταί μοι ὁ δρασμός; ";is my flight to be stopped ?"; (Edd.). The verb is = ";pay"; in P Oxy IV. 745.6 (C. A.D. 1) οὐκ οἶδας γὰρ πῶς μοι ἐχρήσατο ἐν Ὀξυρύγχοις, οὐχ ὡς λύσατι (l. λύσαντι), ἀλλ ὥς τινί ποτε ἀποστερητῆι μὴ ἀποδεδωκότι, ";you don’t know how he treated me at Oxyrhynchus (?), not like a man who had paid, but like a defrauder and a debtor"; (Edd.), while in Syll 226.17 (iii/B.C.) the middle is used of ";redeeming"; property—αὐτὸς ὑπεραποδοὺς τοὺς ἑκατὸν χρυσοῦς ἐλύσατο : cf. P Lond 1179.51 (ii/A.D.) (= III. p. 146) λύ ]σασθαι τὴν ὑποθήκην. For the weak aor, stem of this verb see Moulton Gr. ii. p. 215 ff. MGr λυώνω (Pontic λονω), ";dissolve,"; ";melt.";
