Found just six times in the New Testament (Rom. 12:9; 2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:5; Jas. 3:17; 1 Pet. 1:22), the Greek adjective “anupokritos” meant “unfeigned,” “without hypocrisy,” “upright,” “authentic,” or “legitimate.”

In Rom. 12:9; 2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Pet. 1:22 this adjective is associated with true love.  This sincerity is associated with proper faith and a proper conscience in 1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:5.  Heavenly wisdom has “sincerity” (Jas. 3:17).

Found just four times in the New Testament (Mt. 12:43; Lk. 11:24; 2 Pet. 2:17; Jude 12), the Greek adjective “anudros” meant “dry place,” “desert,” or “without water.”

Peter and Jude used this term to describe false teachers.  Jesus used this word in Mt. 12:43 and Lk. 11:24 to say evicted demons passed through “waterless places” as they searched for rest.

Found just once in the New Testament (Acts 27:15), the Greek verb “antophthalmeo” meant “look in the face” or “look directly in the face.”  Luke used this word to say a ship was not able to “face” the wind.  Even now “to face the wind” is used in nautical terminology.

Found just once in the New Testament (Jn. 4:11), the Greek noun “antlema” meant “bucket.”  A Samaritan woman said Jesus had “nothing to draw with, and the well is deep.”  This woman apparently had the right equipment to draw water, but she, being a Samaritan, was not willing to share her paraphernalia with Jesus.

Found just four times in the New Testament (Jn. 2:8, 9; 4:7, 15), the Greek verb “antleo” meant “draw from a container.”  This word is applied to the wedding feast at Cana (Jn. 2:8, 9) where Jesus “changed water to wine.”  John also used this word when describing Jesus’ interaction with a Samaritan woman (Jn. 4:7, 15).

Found just five times in the New Testament, the Greek noun “antichristos” meant “Antichrist” or “anti-Messiah.”

Many believe the word “Antichrist” is found throughout the Bible, especially in the book of Revelation, but this idea is false.  The Apostle John did use the word “antichrist,” but he never used this term in the book of Revelation.  Many people would also be surprised to learn that the Bible speaks about “antichrists” (plural)—see 1 Jn. 2:18—and that John said “many antichrists” existed in the first century (1 Jn. 2:18).

John used the word “antichrist” to describe those who “deny the Son” (1 Jn. 4:3).  For the other two passages that use this noun see 1 Jn. 2:22; 2 Jn. 7.

Found just twice in the New Testament (Heb 9:24; 1 Pet. 3:21), the Greek adjective “antitupos” meant “figure” or “corresponding in form.”

Peter said baptism is the “antitype” of the flood experienced by Noah.  That is, just as the water in Noah’s day allowed the righteous to be separated from the unrighteous, such also occurs by baptism throughout the Christian era.

In Heb. 9:24 this word is used to say Jesus has entered the “true” or “genuine” sanctuary in heaven.  Stated another way, the earthly sanctuary associated with the Old Testament law pointed forward to the “true sanctuary in heaven.”

Found just five times in the New Testament (Acts 18:6; Rom. 13:2; Jas. 4:6; 5:6; 1 Pet. 5:5), the Greek verb “antitassomai” meant “oppose,” “resist,” “rebel.”

At Corinth Paul faced some Jews who “opposed” him (Acts 18:6).  Some choose to “resist” the government they live under (Rom. 13:2).  God “resists” the proud (Jas. 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:5).  In Jas. 5:6 this term describes Christians who do not “resist” evil oppression.

Found just once in the New Testament (Rom. 7:23), the Greek verb “antistrateuomai” meant “make a military expedition” or “make war against.”   Paul saw sin as something like a hostile force that wanted to “make war with him” as he sought to live the Christian life.

Found just once in the New Testament (Acts 7:51), the Greek verb “antipipto” meant “resist” or “oppose.”  This word described people who “resisted” the Holy Spirit.  God is all-powerful, but man’s free-will enables him to “resist” God’s efforts for salvation if a person truly wants to live and die in sin.

Careful students of God’s word will notice how Luke 7:51 says these people “always” resisted the Holy Spirit.
