troÌ„: An obsolete verb meaning “to believeâ€; compare “trust†and the German trauen. It occurs only in , the King James Version “Doth he thank that servant....? I trow not,†as a translation of οὐ δοκῶ, ou dokoÌ„Ì, “I believe not.†The words ou dokoÌ„, however, are not part of the original text, but are a later gloss to supply an answer to the question, and hence, “I trow not†is omitted by the Revised Version (British and American).
