ἁγι-ασμός, ον, ὁ,
consecration, sanctification, LXX Judges 17:3,al., 1 Thessalonians 4:7.
ἁγιασμός, (οῦ, ὁ, a word used only by Biblical and ecclesiastical writings (for in Diodorus 4, 39; Dionysius Halicarnassus 1, 21, ἁγισμός is the more correct reading), signifying:
1. consecration, purification, τό ἁγιάζειν.
2. the effect of consecration: sanctification of heart and life, 1 Corinthians 1:30 (Christ is he to whom we are indebted for sanctification); 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Romans 6:19, 22; 1 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 12:14; ἁγιασμός πνεύματος sanctification wrought by the Holy Spirit, 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2. It is opposed to lust in 1 Thessalonians 4:3f. (It is used in a ritual sense, Judges 17:3 (Alexandrian LXX); Ezekiel 45:4; (Amos 2:11); Sir. 7:31, etc.) (On its use in the N. T. cf. Ellicott on 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:13.)

† ἁγιασμος , -οῦ , ὁ
(<ἁγιάζω ),
[in LXX: Ezekiel 45:4 (H4720), Sirach 7:31, etc.;]
as an active verbal noun in -μός , it signifies properly the process τὸ ἁγιάζειν , rather than the resultant state, άγιωσύνη , hence,
1. consecration;
2. sanctification: so strictly in Romans 6:19; Romans 6:22 (but v. Meyer), 1 Corinthians 1:30, 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:7, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 1:2. Elsewhere it perhaps (Ellic.; but v. Milligan, Th., 48) inclines to the resultant state: 1 Thessalonians 4:4, 1 Timothy 2:15 (Cremer, 55, 602).†
