資料來源(7): Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]

  Saint
     one separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by
     profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ (Ps. 16:3; Rom.
     1:7; 8:27; Phil. 1:1; Heb. 6:10).
     
       The "saints" spoken of in Jude 1:14 are probably not the
     disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels"
     (Heb. 12:22; Ps. 68:17), with reference to Deut. 33:2.
     
       This word is also used of the holy dead (Matt. 27:52; Rev.
     18:24). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles
     and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth
     century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title.

  SAINT, n.  A dead sinner revised and edited.

  calumniator, Marshal Villeroi, who in his youth had known St. Francis
  de Sales, said, on hearing him called saint:  "I am delighted to hear
  that Monsieur de Sales is a saint.  He was fond of saying indelicate
  things, and used to cheat at cards.  In other respects he was a
  perfect gentleman, though a fool."
