Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";joy"; : BGU IV. 1141.3 (B.C. 14) μετὰ ] π ̣ο ̣λ ̣λ ̣ ̣ς ̣ [χ ]αρᾶς, P Fay 20.1 (iii/iv A.D.) an edict, perhaps of the Emperor Juiian (see Archiv ii. p. 169) which begins— [πω ]ς μὴ διὰ τὸ τῆς χαρᾶς τῆ [ς ] ἑαυτῶν δήλωσιν ποιήσασθαι ε. . . νην ἐπ᾽ ἐμοὶ παρελθόντι ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχὴν. . ., ";lest for the sake of making a manifestation of their joy at my accession to empire . . ."; (Edd.), P Iand I. 13.18 (iv/A.D.) ἵνα μετὰ χαρᾶς σε ἀπολάβωμεν (cf. Mat. 13:20), and the inscr. Preisigke 991.6 (A.D. 290) μετὰ πάσης χαρᾶς καὶ ἱλαρίας.

In the Christian P Oxy VIII. 1162.5 Λέων πρεσβύτερος τοῖς. . . πρεσβυτ [ ]ροις καὶ διακώνοις ἀ [γ ]απητοῖ [ς ] ἀδελφοῖς ἐν κ (υρί)ῳ θ (ε)ῷ χαρᾷ χα [ ]ρειν, ";Leon, presbyter, to the presbyters and deacons, beloved brothers in the Lord God, fullness of joy"; (Ed.), we have an ex. of the cogn. dat., as in Joh. 3:29 : for a corresponding usage in the LXX, cf. Thackeray Gr. i. p. 48 ff.

Χαρά is common as a proper name : see Preisigke Namenbuch s.v. In MGr the word is used for a ";festival,"; ";wedding.";
