Thayer's Expanded Definition

ὅπλον (allied to ἐπω, Latinsequor, socius, etc.; Curtius, § 621), ὅπλου, τό, as in classical Greek from Homer down, any tool or implement for preparing a thing (like the Latinarma); hence,

1. plural arms used in warfare, weapons: John 18:3; 2 Corinthians 10:4; metaphorically, τῆς δικαιοσύνης, which δικαιοσύνη furnishes, 2 Corinthians 6:7; τοῦ φωτός, adapted to the light, such as light demands, Romans 13:12 (here L marginal reading ἔργα).

2. an instrument: ὅπλα ἀδικίας, for committing unrighteousness, opposed to ὅπλα δικαιοσύνης, for practising righteousness, Romans 6:13.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For ὀψέ, ";late,"; cf. P Oxy XIV. 1679.12 (iii/A.D.) λείαν γὰρ ὀψαί (l. ὀψέ) σοι ταῦτα ἔγραψα, ";for I am writing this to you very late"; (Edd.). The word is construed with a partitive gen. in such phrases as P Par 35.15 (B.C. 163) ὀψὲ τῆς ὥρας : cf. Philostratus (ap. Kayser II. p. 171.4) ὀψὲ τῶν Τρωικῶν, ";at a late stage in the Trojan war."; This would support the RV rendering of Matthew 28:1 ὀψὲ [δὲ ] σαββάτων, ";late on the sabbath day";; but Blass now prefers ";after the sabbath day,"; in accordance with ὀψὲ τούτων, ";after these things,"; again from Philostratus (ap. Kayser I. p. 213.84), and other similar passages from late Greek : see Blass-Debrunner § 164. 4 and the discussion in Moulton Proleg. p. 72 f. In P Hamb I. 27.13 (B.C. 250) the writer states that he has received the yokes of oxen ";late yesterday, so as to be ready to work to-day";—ἐχθὲς ὀψέ, ὥστε εἰς τὴν σήμερον ἐργάζεσθαι. Ὀψέ is used practically as an indeclinable noun in P Lond 1177.66 (A.D. 113) (= 111. p. 183) ἀπὸ πρωΐας ἕως ὀψἐ. Among other items in an account, P Tebt I. 121 (B.C. 94 or 61), we find—ὀψὲ οἴνου κε (ράμια) β ̄᾽Γ ̄.
