(Verbs) 1. homologeo (G3670), lit., "to speak the same thing" (homos, "same," lego, "to speak"), "to assent, accord, agree with," denotes, (a) "to confess, declare, admit," Joh 1:20; e.g., Act 24:14; Heb 11:13; (b) "to confess by way of admitting oneself guilty of what one is accused of, the result of inward conviction," 1Jn 1:9; (c) "to declare openly by way of speaking out freely, such confession being the effect of deep conviction of facts," Mat 7:23; Mat 10:32 (twice) and Luk 12:8 (see next par.); Joh 9:22; Joh 12:42; Act 23:8; Rom 10:9-10 ("confession is made"); 1Ti 6:12 (RV); Tit 1:16; 1Jn 2:23; 1Jn 4:2, 1Jn 4:15; 2Jn 1:7 (in John's epistle it is the necessary antithesis to Gnostic doceticism); Rev 3:5, in the best mss. (some have No. 2 here); (d) "to confess by way of celebrating with praise," Heb 13:15; (e) "to promise," Mat 14:7.
In Mat 10:32 and Luk 12:8 the construction of this verb with en, "in," followed by the dative case of the personal pronoun, has a special significance, namely, to "confess" in a person's name, the nature of the "confession" being determined by the context, the suggestion being to make a public "confession." Thus the statement, "every one...who shall confess Me (lit. "in Me," i.e., in My case) before men, him (lit., "in him," i.e., in his case) will I also confess before My Father...," conveys the thought of "confessing" allegiance to Christ as one's Master and Lord, and, on the other hand, of acknowledgment, on His part, of the faithful one as being His worshipper and servant, His loyal follower; this is appropriate to the original idea in homologeo of being identified in thought or language. See PROEFESS, PROMISE, THANK.

Some mss. have it in Rev 2:2, instead of the verb lego, "to say." see PROFESS, SAY.
