Strong's 746: ἀρχή
ἀρχή,
ἀρχῆς,
ἡ (from Homer down), in the Sept. mostly equivalent to
רֹאשׁ,
רֵאֹשִׁית,
תְּחִלָּה;
1.beginning, origin;
a. used absolutely, of the beginning of all things: ἐνἀρχή, John 1:1f (Genesis 1:1); ἀπ'ἀρχῆς, Matthew 19:4 (with which cf. Xenophon, mem. 1, 4, 5 ὁἐξἀρχῆςποιῶνἀνθρώπους), Matthew 19:8; John 8:44; 1 John 1:1; 1 John 2:13; 1 John 3:8; more fully ἀπ'ἀρχῆςκτίσεως or κόσμου, Matthew 24:21; Mark 10:6; Mark 13:19; 2 Thessalonians 2:13 (where L (Tr marginal reading WH marginal reading) ἀπαρχήν, which see); 2 Peter 3:4; κατ'ἀρχάς, Hebrews 1:10 (Psalm 101:26 ()). b. in a relative sense, of the beginning of the thing spoken of: ἐξἀρχῆς, from the time when Jesus gathered disciples, John 6:64; John 16:4; ἀπ'ἀρχῆς, John 15:27 (since I appeared in public); as soon as instruction was imparted, 1 John 2:(),; ; 2 John 1:5f; more fully ἐνἀρχήτοῦεὐαγγελίου, Philippians 4:15 (Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 47, 2 [ET] (see note in Gebh. and Harn. at the passage and cf.) Polycarp, ad Philipp. 11, 3 [ET]); from the beginning of the gospel history, Luke 1:2; from the commencement of life, Acts 26:4; ἐνἀρχή, in the beginning, when the church was founded, Acts 11:15. The accusative ἀρχήν (cf. Winers Grammar, 124 (118); Lightfoot on Colossians 1:18) and τήνἀρχήν in the Greek writings (cf. Lennep ad Phalarid., pp. 82ff and, pp. 94ff, Lipsius edition; Brückner in DeWette's Handbook on John, p. 151) is often used adverbially, equivalent to ὅλωςaltogether (properly, an accusative of 'direction toward':usqueadinitium (cf. Winers Grammar, 230 (216); Buttmann, 153 (134))), commonly followed by a negative, but not always (cf. e. g. Dio Cassius fragment 101 (93 Dindorf); 45:34 (Dindorf vol. ii., p. 194); 59:20; 62:4; see, further, Lycurgus, § 125, Mätzner edition); hence, that extremely difficult passage, John 8:25τήν ... ὑμῖν, must in my opinion be interpreted as follows: I am altogether or wholly (i. e. in all respects, precisely) that which I even speak to you (I not only am, but also declare to you what I am; therefore you have no need to question me) (cf. Winers Grammar, 464 (432); Buttmann, 253 (218)). ἀρχήνλαμβάνειν, to take beginning, to begin, Hebrews 2:3. with the addition of the genitive of the thing spoken of: ὠδίνων, Matthew 24:8; Mark 13:8() ((here R G plural); τῶνσημείων, John 2:11); ἡμερῶν, Hebrews 7:3; τοῦεὐαγγελίου, that from which the gospel history took its beginning, Mark 1:1; τῆςὑποστάσεως, the confidence with which we have made a beginning, opposed to μέχριτέλους, Hebrews 3:14. τάστοιχεῖατῆςἀρχῆς, Hebrews 5:12 (τῆςἀρχῆς is added for greater explicitness, as in Latinrudimentaprima, Livy 1, 3; Justin., hist. 7, 5; andprimaelamenta, Horat. sat. 1, 1, 26, etc.); ὁτῆςἀρχῆςτοῦΧριστοῦλόγος equivalent to ὁτοῦΧριστοῦλόγοςὁτῆςἀρχῆς, i. e. the instruction concerning Christ such as it was at the very outset (cf. Winers Grammar, 188 (177); Buttmann, 155 (136)), Hebrews 6:1. 2.the person or thing that commences, the first person or thing in a series, the leader: Colossians 1:18; Revelation 1:8 Rec.; ; (Deuteronomy 21:17; Job 40:14(19), etc.). 3.that by which anything begins to be, the origin, active cause (a sense in which the philosopher Anaximander, 8th century B.C., is said to have been the first to use the word; cf. Simplicius, on Aristotle, phys. f. 9, p. 326, Brandis edition and 32, p. 334, Brandis edition (cf. Teichmüller, Stud. zur Gesch. d. Begriffe, pp. 48ff 560ff)): ἡἀρχήτῆςκτίσεως, of Christ as the divine λόγος, Revelation 3:14 (cf. Düsterdieck at the passage; Clement of Alexandria, protrept. 1, p. 6, Potter edition (p. 30 edition Sylb.) ὁλόγοςἀρχήθείατῶνπάντων; in Ev. Nicod. c. 23 (p. 308, Tischendorf edition, p. 736, Thilo edition) the devil is called ἡἀρχήτοῦθανάτουκαίῤίζατῆςἁμαρτίας). 4.the extremity of a thing: of the corners of a sail, Acts 10:11; Acts 11:5; (Herodotus 4, 60; Diodorus 1, 35; others.).
5.the first place, principality, rule, magistracy (cf. English 'authorities') (ἄρχωτίνος): Luke 12:11; Luke 20:20; Titus 3:1; office given in charge (Genesis 40:13, 21; 2 Macc. 4:10, etc.), Jude 1:6. Hence, the term is transferred by Paul to angels and demons holding dominions entrusted to them in the order of things (see ἄγγελος, 2 (cf. Lightfoot on Colossians 1:16; Meyer on Ephesians 1:21)): Romans 8:38; 1 Corinthians 15:24; Ephesians 1:21; Ephesians 3:10; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 1:16; Colossians 2:10, 15. See ἐξουσία, 4{c}. ββ.
