Cross References

Strong's Original Transliteration Derivation Definition KJV Renderings
G1210 δέω déō a primary verb to bind (in various applications, literally or figuratively) bind, be in bonds, knit, tie, wind
G4441 πυνθάνομαι pynthánomai middle voice prolonged from a primary πύθω (pýthō) (which occurs only as an alternate in certain tenses) to question, i.e. ascertain by inquiry (as a matter of information merely; and thus differing from G2065, which properly means a request as a favor; and from G154, which is strictly a demand for something due; as well as from G2212, which implies a search for something hidden; and from G1189, which involves the idea of urgent need); by implication, to learn (by casual intelligence) ask, demand, enquire, understand
