Strong’s Greek Lexicon

from κονια konia (dust; by analogy, lime); to whitewash:—whiten.

Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.

Thayer’s Greek Definitions

1) to cover with lime, plaster over, whitewash
1a) the Jews were accustomed to whitewash the entrances to their sepulchres, as a warning against defilement by touching them
1b) term applied to a hypocrite who conceals his malice under an outward assumption of piety

Thayer’s Definitions are as edited by the Online Bible of Winterbourne, Ontario. They removed the etymology, cross-references, and Greek phrases and changed some of Thayer’s Unitarian doctrinal positions concerning the work and person of Christ.
