1. transitive, to make known: τί, Romans 9:22f; τί τίνι, Luke 2:15; John 15:15; John 17:26; Acts 2:28; 2 Corinthians 8:1; Ephesians 3:5, 10 (passive in these two examples); Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 4:7, 9; 2 Peter 1:16; τίνι τό μυστήριον, Ephesians 1:9; Ephesians 3:3 (G L T Tr WH read the passive); ; τίνι ὅτι, 1 Corinthians 12:3; τίνι τί, ὅτι equivalent to τίνι ὅτι τί, Galatians 1:11; followed by τί interrogative Colossians 1:27; περί τίνος, Luke 2:17 L T Tr WH; γνωριζέσθω πρός τόν Θεόν be brought to the knowledge of God, Philippians 4:6; γνωρίζεσθαι εἰς πάντα τά ἔθνη to be made known unto all the nations, Romans 16:26; contextually and emphatically equivalent to to recall to one's mind, as though what is made known had escaped him, 1 Corinthians 15:1; with the accusative of person ((Plutarch, Fab.

T.) causative force seems to be found only in Aeschylus Prom. 487; cf. Schmidt vol. i., p. 287; Lightfoot on Philippians, the passage cited Compare: ἀναγνωρίζω, διαγνωρίζω).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Oxy VII. 1024.18 (A.D. 129) ὃν καὶ γνωριεῖς ἰδίῳ κινδύνῳ , ";whom you are to recognize at your own risk"; (Ed.). P Hib I. 28.6 (c. B.C. 265) ἵνα ] . . . κ ̣[αὶ ] γνωρίζηται ὑπὸ τῶν φρατόρων ";(that he may) . . . be recognized by the members of the phratries"; (Edd.). On P Oxy III. 496.16 (A.D. 127), where the noun γνωστήρ occurs, the editors quote BGU II. 581.14 (A.D. 133), where L. Octavius Longus γνωρίζει a person. ";The γνωστήρ of a person was a witness of his or her identity."; So P Oxy VI. 976 (A.D. 197) Παυλεῖνος . . γνωρίζω . The verb is found joined with θαυμάζω in a letter from the Emperor Claudius to a Gymnastic Club in A.D. 47, embodied in P Lond 1178.27 (A.D. 194) (= III. p. 216) τὴν πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν μὲν εὔνοιαν περὶ δὲ ὑμᾶς φιλανθρωπίαν ἐγνώρισα μᾶλλον ἢ ἐθαύμασα , and in another London papyrus it has definitely the meaning ";make known,"; as in all its NT occurrences (even Philippians 1:22), P Lond 232.6 (c. A.D. 346) (= II. p. 296) γνωρίζω τῇ εὐγενίᾳ σου τὸ πρᾶγμα , P Tor I. 1vi. 11 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. P. 36) φανερᾶς τῆς κρίσεως γνωρισθείσης ἑκάστοις . The derived noun occurs in P Tebt II. 288.15 (A.D. 226) μηδεμειᾶς προφάσεως ὑμεῖν υ ̣̔πολειπομένης ἐπὶ τῆς ἀπαιτήσεως ἕνεκεν γνωρισμοῦ , ";no pretext with regard to the collection being left to you touching the identification (of the crops)"; (Edd.). For the mystical use of the verb see Poimandres 10.15 οὐ γὰρ ἀγνοεῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ὁ θεός , ἀλλὰ καὶ πάνυ γνωρίζει καὶ θέλει γνωρίζεσθαι (Reitzenstein, p. 58 n.4).

For the related adjective see P Fay 12.21 (c. B.C. 103) ὑπὸ τῶν γνωρίμων , ";by friends,"; and P Tebt II. 286.6 (A.D. 121–38) Φιλωτέραν . . . ἐπὶ τῷ ἀ ̣[ρίστῳ ] ἐμοὶ γνωρίμην , ";Philotera whose good character is well known to me"; (Edd.), Syll 367.10 (i/A.D.), 373.23 (i/A.D.).
