True, Truly, Truth

True, Truly, Truth: primarily, "unconcealed, manifest" (a, negative, letho, "to forget," == lanthano, "to escape notice"), hence, actual, "true to fact," is used
(a) of persons, "truthful," Mat 22:16; Mar 12:14; Jhn 3:33; 7:18; 8:26; Rom 3:4; 2Cr 6:8;
(b) of things, "true," conforming to reality, Jhn 4:18, "truly," lit., "true;" Jhn 5:31, 32; in the best texts, Jhn 6:55 (twice), "indeed;" Jhn 8:13, 14 (ver. 16 in some texts: see No. 2), Jhn 8:17; 10:41; 19:35; 21:24; Act 12:9; Phl 4:8; Tts 1:13; 1Pe 5:12; 2Pe 2:22; 1Jo 2:8, 27; 3Jo 1:12.

True, Truly, Truth: akin to No. 1, denotes "true" in the sense of "real, ideal, genuine;" it is used
(a) of God, Jhn 7:28 (cp. No. 1 in Jhn 7:18, above); Jhn 17:3; 1Th 1:9; Rev 6:10; these declare that God fulfills the meaning of His Name; He is "very God," in distinction from all other gods, false gods (alethes, see Jhn 3:33 in No. 1, signifies that He is veracious, "true" to His utterances, He cannot lie);
(b) of Christ, Jhn 1:9; 6:32; 15:1; 1Jo 2:8; 5:20 (thrice); Rev 3:7, 14; 19:11; His judgment, Jhn 8:16 (in the best texts, instead of No. 1);
(c) God's words, Jhn 4:37; Rev 19:9; 21:5; 22:6; the last three are equivalent to No. 1;
(d) His ways, Rev 15:3;
(e) His judgments, Rev 16:7; 19:2;
(f) His riches, Luk 16:11;
(g) His worshippers, Jhn 4:23;
(h) their hearts, Hbr 10:22;
(i) the witness of the Apostle John, Jhn 19:35;
(j) the spiritual, antitypical tabernacle, Hbr 8:2; 9:24, not that the wilderness tabernacle was false, but that it was a weak and earthly copy of the heavenly.
