Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Besides
the
word
πρόσφατος
,
for
the newly-made and living way in Hebrews 10:20; and the word
ἄγναφος
for the new (unfulled, unfinished)
cloth
in Matthew 9:16 and Mark 2:21;
there
are two words translated “new,” the difference between which is important. One is
καινός
, “new” in the sense of never having existed or been
used
before, that is, new in the sense of “different”; and
νέος
“new” in the sense of “fresh, youthful.” The new (
νέοσ
)
wine
must be
put
into new (
καινός
) bottles (Matt. 9:17). Except in
the Gospels
, in reference to the wine as above, the word
νέος
is used
only
in “a new lump” (1 Cor. 5:7), “the new [
man
]” (Col. 3:10), “
the
new
covenant
” (Heb. 12:24), and “
young
woman
” (Titus 2:4). In
all
other
places the word employed is
καινός
, and
this
is important, as indicating the entirely different character of the new covenant,
the
new
creation
, the
new man
, the new heavens and the new
earth
, from all
that had
been. “He that sat upon the
throne
said, Behold I
make
all things new” (Rev. 21:5).
