Reference: Doubt
Hastings
1. In AV 'doubt' (vb. and noun) six times renders a Gr. vb. meaning 'to be at a loss' or 'quite at a loss'; in all these instances except Joh 13:22 RV substitutes 'perplexity,' following the AV rendering of Lu 9:7; 24:4; 2Co 4:8. In this sense 'doubt' is now nearly obsolete; as it is in the meaning riddle, knotty question, which it bears in Da 5:12,16. Not dissimilar is its use in the AV of Joh 10:24 ('make us to doubt'), where RV, more literally, reads 'hold us in suspense.' Quite archaic also is the use of 'doubt' for 'suspect,' instanced in Sir 6:13 (AV). 2. Elsewhere 'doubt' has a religious signification, standing in express or tacit antithesis to 'faith' (wh. see). (a) In Mt 21:21; Mr 11:23; Ac 10:20; 11:12; Ro 14:23; Jas 1:6 (RV), Jude 1:22 (RV), it stands for a vb. signifying 'to be divided in mind (judgment)'
