The following definition is given by Dr. Bruce Ware in the seminar he conducted at The Master’s Seminary on The Universal Reign of the Triune God.
God’s whole and undivided essence belongs equally, eternally, simultaneously, and fully to each of the three Persons of the Godhead, so that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each is fully God while each is his own personal expression, in role and activity, of the one eternal and undivided divine essence.

Do inexact quotations of Old Testament texts in the New Testament show that Scripture is not inerrant? Here is a excerpt of an article by A.A. Hodges and B.B. Warfield in defense of inerrancy.
Nor is quotation to be confounded with translation. It does not, like it, profess to give as exact a representation of the original, in all its aspects and on every side, as possible; but only to give a true account of its teaching in one of its bearings. There is thus always an element of application in quotation; and it is, therefore, proper in quotation to so alter the form of the original as to bring out clearly its bearing on the one subject in hand, thus throwing the stress on the element in it for which it is cited. This would be improper in a translation. The laws which ought to govern quotation seem, indeed, to have been very inadequately investigated by those who please the New Testament methods of quotation against inspiration.
(A.A. Hodge and B.B. Warfield, “Inspiration,” The Presbyterian Review 2/6 (April 1881) 256, emphasis in the original.)
