Dict: easton - Saint

Saint @ one separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ kjv@Psalms:16:3; kjv@Romans:1:7 kjv@Romans:8:27; kjv@Philippians:1:1; kjv@Hebrews:6:10). The "saints" spoken of in kjv@Jude:1:1:14 are probably not the disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels" kjv@Hebrews:12:22; kjv@Psalms:68:17), with reference to kjv@Deuteronomy:33:2. This word is also used of the holy dead kjv@Matthew:27:52; kjv@Revelation:18:24). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title.
