INSTRUMENT

in'-stroo-ment (keli; in Greek plural hopla, Rom 6:13): The word in the Old Testament is used for utensils for service, chiefly in connection with the sanctuary (compare Ex 25:9; Nu 4:12,26,32; 1 Ki 19:21; 1 Ch 9:29; 2 Ch 4:16, the King James Version); for weapons of war (1 Sam 8:12; 1 Ch 12:33,17, etc.); notably for musical instruments. See MUSIC. The members of the body are described by Paul (Rom 6:13) as "instruments" to be used in the service of righteousness, as before they were in the service of unrighteousness.
