Thayer's Expanded Definition

πυρόω: passive, present πυροῦμαι; perfect participle πεπυρωμένος; (πῦρ); from Aeschylus and Pindar down; to burn with fire, to set on fire, to kindle; in the N. T. it is used only in the passive:

a. to be on fire, to burn: properly, 2 Peter 3:12; tropically, of the heat of the passions: of grief, 2 Corinthians 11:29 (English Versions burn (often understood of indignation, but cf. Meyer); Winer's Grammar, 153 (145)); of anger, with τοῖς θυμοῖς added, equivalent to to be incensed, indignant, 2 Macc. 4:38 2Macc. 10:35 2Macc. 14:45; to be inflamed with sexual desire, 1 Corinthians 7:9.

b. perfect participle πεπυρωμένος, made to glow (R. V. refined): Revelation 1:15 ((cf. Buttmann, 80 (69) n.)); full of fire; fiery, ignited: τά βέλη ... τά πεπυρωμένα darts filled with inflammable substances and set on fire, Ephesians 6:16 (Apollod. Bib. 2, 5, 2 § 3); melted by fire and purged of dross: χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρός, (refined by fire), Revelation 3:18 (so πυρόω in the Sept. for צָרַף; as τό ἀγρυριον, Job 22:25; Zechariah 13:9; Psalm 11:7 (); ()).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";board,"; ";plank,"; as in Acts 27:44, occurs in P Flor I. 69.24 (iii/A.D.) (τοῖς) ἐξηλοῦσι σανίδε ̓(= δας) [πλ ]ατείας ἑτέρου τοίχου τοῦ προκ (ειμένου) πλοίου : cf.21. The word readily passes into the meaning of a ";wooden tablet"; for writing purposes, as in Syll.3 975.30 (c. A.D. 250) ἀναγράψαντες εἰς τὴν σανίδα οὗ καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ γράμματα παραδό [τ ]ωσαν εἰς τὸ δημόσιον τῆι βουλῆι. In Herodas VII. 5 it denotes a wooden bench to sit upon. For the dim. σανίδιον see Syll 366 (=.3 799).25 (A.D. 38) τό τε ἐργαστήριον αὐτοῦ σ ̣ανι ̣δίοι [ς ] προσηλοῦσθαι, and for the verb σανιδόω see P Lond 1164 (h).7 (A.D. 212) (= III. p. 164) πλοῖον. . . σεσανιδ [ω ]μένον δια ̣̣ ν ̣εὼς σὺν ἱστῷ.
