BOLD, BOLDNESS, BOLDLY A. Verbs. 1. tharreo (θαῤῥέω, 2292), a later form of tharseo (see cheer, comfort), is connected with thero, "to be warm" (warmth of temperament being associated with confidence); hence, "to be confident, bold, courageous"; rv, invariably, "to be of good courage"; 2 Cor. 5:6, 8 (kjv, "to be confident"); 7:16 (kjv, "to have confidence"); 10:1–2 (kjv, "to be bold"); Heb. 13:6, kjv, "boldly"; rv, "with good courage" (lit., "being courageous"). See courage. 2. parrhesiazomai (παῤῥησιάζομαι, 3955), "to speak boldly, or freely," primarily had reference to speech (see B, below), but acquired the meaning of "being bold, or waxing bold," 1 Thess. 2:2; in Acts 13:46, rv, "spake out boldly" (the aorist participle here signifies "waxing bold"); Acts 9:27, 29, "preached boldly" (see also 18:26; 19:8); in 26:26, "speak freely." See freely. 3. tolmao (τολμάω, 5111) signifies "to dare to do, or to bear, something terrible or difficult"; hence, "to be bold, to bear oneself boldy, deal boldly"; it is translated "be bold" in 2 Cor. 10:2, as contrasted with tharreo in verse 1, and the first line of verse 2, "shew courage" (see No. 1, above); in 10:12, rv, "are not bold to," for kjv, "dare not make ourselves of." Tharreo denotes confidence in one's own powers, and has reference to character; tolmao denotes boldness in undertaking and has reference to manifestation (Thayer). See courage, dare. 4. apotolmao (ἀποτολμάω, 662), apo (intensive), with No. 3, means "to be very bold, to speak out boldly," and is used in Rom. 10:20.¶ B. Noun. parrhesia (παῤῥησία, 3954), from pas, "all," rhesis, "speech" (see A, No. 2), denotes (a), primarily, "freedom of speech, unreservedness of utterance," Acts 4:29, 31; 2 Cor. 3:12; 7:4; Philem. 8; or "to speak without ambiguity, plainly," John 10:24; or "without figures of speech," John 16:25; (b) "the absence of fear in speaking boldly; hence, confidence, cheerful courage, boldness, without any connection necessarily with speech"; the rv has "boldness" in the following; Acts 4:13; Eph. 3:12; 1 Tim. 3:13; Heb. 3:6; 4:16; 10:19, 35; 1 John 2:28; 3:21; 4:17; 5:14; (c) the deportment by which one becomes conspicuous, John 7:4; 11:54, acts openly, or secures publicity, Col. 2:15. See confidence, openly, plainness. C. Adverb. tolmeroteros (τολμηρότερον, 5112), the comparative degree of tolmeros, means "the more boldly," Rom. 15:15; in some texts, tolmeroteron. Cf. A, No. 3.¶ Cf. tolmetes, "presumptuous"; rv, "daring," 2 Pet. 2:10.¶
