Senses
1. sense 1 — Emphasizes secure, certain manner of action or knowledge. Mark 14:44 describes Judas arranging to betray Jesus 'securely' (ἀσφαλῶς)—away from crowds, minimizing resistance. Acts 2:36 has Peter declaring 'assuredly' (ἀσφαλῶς) that God made Jesus Lord and Messiah—with complete certainty. Acts 16:23 commands 'secure' (ἀσφαλῶς) guarding of Paul and Silas. The French 'sûrement' (surely), Spanish 'con-certeza' (with certainty), show the dual sense: both safe manner and certain knowledge. 3×
