Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1171: δεινῶςδεινῶς, adverb (δεινός), terribly, grievously: Matthew 8:6; Luke 11:53. (From Herodotus down.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root δέος (deos), meaning "fear" or "awe."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "δεινός," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey fear or awe, such as יָרֵא (yare, Strong's Hebrew 3372), which means "to fear" or "to revere," and נוֹרָא (nora, Strong's Hebrew 3372), meaning "awesome" or "terrible." These Hebrew terms similarly express the dual nature of fear and reverence in the presence of something powerful or divine. Usage: In the New Testament, "δεινός" is used to describe situations or entities that evoke a sense of fear or awe. It is often associated with events or characteristics that are overwhelming or intense. Context: The Greek word "δεινός" appears in the New Testament to describe scenarios that are both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing. This term is not frequently used, but when it appears, it underscores the gravity or intensity of the situation. In the context of the New Testament, "δεινός" can be associated with the power and majesty of God, the formidable nature of certain events, or the overwhelming presence of divine or supernatural occurrences. The use of "δεινός" serves to remind believers of the awe-inspiring and sometimes fearsome aspects of God's power and the unfolding of His divine plan. It calls for a response of reverence and respect, acknowledging the might and authority of the divine.
