Definition

ὅστις, ἥτις, ὅ τι (also written ὅ, τι and ὅτι; see LS, see word; WH, §411; Tdf., Pr., 111), in NT scarcely ever except in nom. (M, Pr., 91), the only instance of the oblique cases being found in ἕως ὅτου (see: ἕως), relative of indef. reference (related to simple ὅς as Lat. quisquis to qui),

whoever, anyone who;

(a) of an indef. person or thing: in general statements, Matthew 5:39, 41; 13:12, and freq., Luke 14:27, Galatians 5:4, al.; in relative sentences, Matthew 7:26, Luke 15:7, Philippians 3:7, al.; πᾶς, with indic., Matthew 7:24; 10:32; ὅ ἄν (ἐάν), with subjc., Matthew 12:50; 13:12, John 14:13, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Galatians 5:10, al.;

(b) of a definite person or thing, indicating quality, "either generic, which, as other like things, or essential, which by its very nature" (Hort on 1 Peter 2:11), who is such as: Matthew 2:6; 7:26, Luke 2:10; 7:37, John 8:53, Acts 7:53, Romans 6:2, 1 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 4:24, Ephesians 1:23, al.;

(with) where the relative sentence expresses a reason, consequence, etc. (M, Pr., 92), seeing that he (it, they), and he (it, they): Luke 8:3; 10:42, Acts 10:47; 11:28, Philippians 4:3, al.;

(d) as in Ionic and late Greek (Bl., §50, 1; M, Pr., l.with), differing but little from ὅς: Luke 2:4; 9:30, Acts 17:10, Revelation 12:13.
