πρᾶγμα

Matthew 18:19 πράγματος matter

Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

Here: A deed, affair or business. It is also a normal word for a legal case or dispute (1 Cor 6:1). In a passage about settling a wrong between members, 'matter' or 'case' fits better than 'any item'.

Luke 1:1 πραγμάτων, things,

Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

Acts 5:4 πρᾶγμα deed

Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”

Here: 'This affair' or 'this deed': the whole scheme of selling, holding back part, and presenting the rest as the full price. The word is neutral. Its tone comes from Peter's shocked question.

Romans 16:2 πράγματι· matter;

Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.

Here: A matter or piece of business. The word is broad: it can mean a practical affair, a commercial dealing, or a legal case. It hints that Phoebe had real business to do in Rome, but Paul does not say what it was.

1 Corinthians 6:1 πρᾶγμα a matter

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

2 Corinthians 7:11 πράγματι. matter.

Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

Here: 'The affair' — possibly with a legal tinge ('the case'), as in 1 Cor 6:1. Paul tactfully avoids describing the offence.

1 Thessalonians 4:6 πράγματι matter

and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

Here: A general word for a deed, affair or matter. It can mean business or a lawsuit (1 Cor 6:1), but with the article it most naturally means "this matter" just discussed. It may also be a polite way of avoiding a blunt word for sex.

Hebrews 6:18 πραγμάτων things

Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.

Here: A general word for an actual thing done or a matter. Here it means two concrete acts of God: he spoke a promise, and he swore an oath.

Hebrews 10:1 πραγμάτων, things,

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

Here: Actual things or events, the realities themselves. These are the same 'good things' seen as concrete fact (compare 6:18; 11:1).

Hebrews 11:1 πραγμάτων of things

Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.

Here: 'Matters, realities.' The word suggests actual affairs and facts, not imaginary ones. Some readers take it as belonging to both halves of the verse ('things hoped for... things not seen').

James 3:16 πρᾶγμα.¶ thing.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

Here: A thing done, a practice or affair. Together with phaulon: 'every worthless practice', meaning the shabby dealings that follow when people compete instead of cooperating.
