Infidel

VIEW:35 DATA:01-04-2020
INFIDEL.—This word has more force now than formerly. In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] it signifies no more than ‘unbeliever.’ It occurs in 2Co_6:15, 1Ti_5:8 (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘unbeliever’ in both). So ‘infidelity’ in 2Es_7:44 is simply ‘unbelief’ (Lat. incredulitas).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


in?fi-del (ἂπιστος, ápistos, ?unbelieving,? ?incredulous?): the King James Version has this word twice: ?What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?? (2Co_6:15); ?If any provide not for his own,... is worse than an infidel? (1Ti_5:8). In both passages the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version have ?unbeliever? in harmony with numerous other instances of the use of the Greek apistoš. The word nowhere corresponds to the modern conception of an infidel, one who denies the existence of God, or repudiates the Christian faith; but always signifies one who has not become a believer in Christ. It was formerly so used in English, and some of the older versions have it in other passages, besides these two. It is not found in the Old Testament, but ?infidelity? (incredulity) occurs in 2 Esdras 7:44 (114).
