L T Tr WH in

Ephesians 1:7;
Ephesians 2:7;
Ephesians 3:8,
16;
Philippians 4:19;
Colossians 1:27;
Colossians 2:2, but only in the nominative and accusative; cf. (
Tdf. Proleg., p. 118;
WHs Appendix, p. 158);
Winers Grammar, 65 (64);
Buttmann, 22f (20))
τό πλοῦτος (apparently equivalent to
πλεοτος, from
πλέος full (cf.
πίμπλημι)), from
Homer down, the
Sept. for
עֹשֶׁר, and also for
הָמון, a multitude,
חַיִל,
הול;
riches, wealth;
a. properly, and absolutely,
abundance of external possessions:
Matthew 13:22;
Mark 4:19;
Luke 8:14;
1 Timothy 6:17;
James 5:2;
Revelation 18:17 (16).
b. universally,
fullness, abundance, plenitude: with a genitive of the excellence in which one abounds, as
τῆς χρηστότητος,
Romans 2:4;
Romans 9:23;
2 Corinthians 8:2;
Ephesians 1:7,
18;
Ephesians 2:7;
Ephesians 3:16;
Colossians 1:21;
Colossians 2:2. the
πλοῦτος of God is extolled, i. e. the fullness of his perfections — of which two are mentioned, viz.
σοφία and
γνῶσις,
Romans 11:33 (for
σοφίας καί γνώσεως here depend on
βάθος, not on
πλούτου (cf. B. 155 (135);
Winer's Grammar, § 30, 3 N. 1)); the fullness of all things in store for God's uses,
Philippians 4:19; in the same sense
πλοῦτος is attributed to Christ, exalted at the right hand of God,
Revelation 5:12; in a more restricted sense,
πλοῦτος τοῦ Χριστοῦ is used of the fullness of the things pertaining to salvation with which Christ is able to enrich others,
Ephesians 3:8.
c. universally equivalent to
a good ((to point an antithesis)):
Hebrews 11:26; equivalent to
that with which one is enriched, with a genitive of the person enriched, used of Christian salvation,
Romans 11:12.
