CRIME . In 1611 the word ‘crime’ had not lost its early meaning of accusation , whence Acts 25:16 ‘the crime laid against him’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘matter,’ but in Acts 23:29 the same Gr. word is translated ‘charge’ in both AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). It is possible, that in Job 31:11 ‘crime’ is used in the more modern sense; elsewhere it means ‘charge.’
