ISBE 1915

From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.

kon-sist' (sunistemi): To stand together, exist, subsist (Col 1:17, "in him all things consist," i.e. the continuance of the universe is dependent upon His support and administration). In Lu 12:15, it translates the verb eimi, "to be," to express the thought that wealth is only an accident, not an essential to the highest ideal of life.
