WHAT IS A SUBSTANCE THAT CONTAINS HYDROXIDE IONS?
By means of definition, they are Arrhenius's BASES.
WHAT IS A SUBSTANCE THAT REACT WITH WATER TO FORM HYDROXIDE IONS?
By means of definition, they are Bronsted-Lowry's BASES.
You may state "...they are BASES!.." but you cannot include several Lewis's BASES.
I hope this helps you.

Zor prime's answer is correct. For example, water or ethanol are lone pair donators (Lewis bases) but don't give OH- in solution (atleast not in substantial amounts)

base
OH- exists in large quantities in alkaline solution (base), vs. H+ for acids.
