Testify
<1,,3140,martureo> for which see WITNESS, is frequently rendered "to bear witness, to witness," in the RV, where AV renders it "to testify," John 2:25; 3:11,32; 5:39; 15:26; 21:24; 1 Cor. 15:15; Heb. 7:17; 11:4; 1 John 4:14; 5:9; 3 John 1:3. In the following, however, the RV, like the AV, has the rendering "to testify," John 4:39,44; 7:7; 13:21; Acts 26:5; Rev. 22:16,18,20.
<2,,1957,epimartureo> "to bear witness to" (a strengthened form of No. 1), is rendered "testifying" in 1 Pet. 5:12.
<3,,3143,marturomai> primarily, "to summon as witness," then, "to bear witness" (sometimes with the suggestion of solemn protestation), is rendered "to testify" in Acts 20:26, RV (AV, "I take ... to record"); Gal. 5:3; Eph. 4:17; 1 Thess. 2:11, in the best texts (some have No. 1), RV, "testifying" (AV, "charged").
<4,,1263,diamarturomai> "to testify or protest solemnly," an intensive form of No. 3, is translated "to testify" in Luke 16:28; Acts 2:40; 8:25; 10:42; 18:5; 20:21,23,24; 23:11; 28:23; 1 Thess. 4:6; Heb. 2:6; "to charge" in 1 Tim. 5:21; 2 Tim. 2:14; 4:1.
<5,,4303,promarturomai> "to testify beforehand," occurs in 1 Pet. 1:11, where the pronoun "it" should be "He" (the "it" being due to the grammatically neuter form of pneuma; the personality of the Holy Spirit requires the masculine pronoun).
Note: In Rev. 22:18 some texts have summartureo, "to bear witness with." See WITNESS.
