ἁγι-άζω G0037
To sanctify, make holy, hallow; to set apart for God's purposes or reverence God's name as holy
Hagiazō is the verb behind 'hallowed be thy name' in the Lord's Prayer and 'sanctify them in truth' in Jesus's high-priestly prayer (John 17:17). It covers three movements: God actively making persons or things holy, believers reverencing God's name as holy, and the individual's pursuit of personal holiness. The root hagi- ('holy') runs through the entire New Testament theology of sanctification. Spanish santificar and French sanctifier preserve the Latin sanctus lineage, while the German geheiligt ('hallowed') echoes the prayer tradition. Each sense reflects a different directional flow of holiness -- from God downward, from believer upward, or inward as transformation.
3. to devote oneself to holiness — To devote oneself to holiness or allow oneself to be made holy, appearing once in Revelation 22:11 as an eschatological exhortation: 'let the holy one still be made holy.' This inward-facing sense points to ongoing personal sanctification as a continuing state rather than a single event, completing the triad of sanctification's directions. 1×

Senses
1. to make holy, sanctify — To make holy, purify, or sanctify -- the dominant sense (24 occurrences) describing God's transformative action upon persons or objects, rendering them holy. Jesus sanctifies his followers through truth (John 17:17, 19) and his own self-offering (Heb 10:10). In Matthew 23:17, 19, the temple and altar sanctify the gold and gift placed upon them. Spanish santificado and French sanctifié consistently mark this divine-to-human direction of holiness. 24×

2. to hallow, reverence as holy — To hallow or reverence as holy -- treating God's name, character, or person with sacred awe. Found in the Lord's Prayer (Matt 6:9, Luke 11:2) and 1 Peter 3:15 ('sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts'). Here the direction reverses: the human acknowledges and declares God's existing holiness. The Greek imperative hagiasthētō ('let it be hallowed') appears in prayer as petition rather than command. 3×
