HONEST, HONESTY . In 2Es 16:49 ‘honest’ has the meaning of ‘chaste.’ Elsewhere it means either ‘honourable’ or ‘becoming.’ For the meaning ‘honourable’ compare Ruth 1:22 Cov. ‘There was a kinsman also … whose name was Boos, which was an honest man’; and, for ‘becoming,’ Isaiah 52:1 Cov. ‘Put on thine honest rayment, O Jerusalem, thou citle of the holy one.’
‘Honesty’ in 1 Timothy 2:2 , its only occurrence, means ‘seemliness’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘gravity’).
