in´stroo - ment ( כּלי , kelı̄ ; in Greek plural ὅπλα , hópla , Romans 6:13 ): The word in the Old Testament is used for utensils for service, chiefly in connection with the sanctuary (compare Exodus 25:9; Numbers 4:12 , Numbers 4:26 , Numbers 4:32; 1 Kings 19:21; 1 Chronicles 9:29; 2 Chronicles 4:16 , the King James Version); for weapons of war (1 Samuel 8:12; 1 Chronicles 12:33 , 1 Chronicles 12:17 , etc.); notably for musical instruments. See MUSIC . The members of the body are described by Paul (Romans 6:13 ) as "instruments" to be used in the service of righteousness, as before they were in the service of unrighteousness.
