Strong's Lexicon desmios: Prisoner Original Word: δεσμιος Word Origin: From the Greek word δέω (deo), meaning "to bind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "desmios," the concept of being a prisoner or captive is expressed in Hebrew by words such as אָסִיר (asir) and שָׁבוּי (shavuy). Usage: The term "desmios" refers to someone who is bound or in chains, typically a prisoner. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe individuals who are physically imprisoned, but it can also carry a metaphorical sense of being spiritually or morally bound. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, imprisonment was a common form of punishment for various offenses. Prisons were often harsh environments, and prisoners were typically bound in chains. The concept of being a "prisoner" also had significant implications in early Christian thought, as many believers, including the Apostle Paul, were imprisoned for their faith. This term reflects both the physical reality of imprisonment and the spiritual reality of being bound for the sake of the Gospel.
