Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and the verb ἄγω (agō, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαγώ, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of living or enduring. Some corresponding entries might include:

- חָיָה (chayah, Strong's Hebrew 2421): To live, to have life, to remain alive.
- עָבַר (abar, Strong's Hebrew 5674): To pass over, to go through, to traverse.

These Hebrew terms, like διαγώ, emphasize the continuity and quality of life, often in the context of faithfulness and perseverance.

Usage: The verb διαγώ is used in the context of living or spending one's life, often with an emphasis on the manner or quality of life. It can also imply enduring or continuing through a period or experience.

Context: The Greek verb διαγώ appears in the New Testament with the connotation of living or spending one's life in a particular manner. It is a compound word that combines the idea of leading or bringing (ἄγω) with the preposition διά, which suggests movement through or across. This construction emphasizes the passage or duration of life, often highlighting the quality or character of that life.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διαγώ is used to convey the sense of enduring or continuing through life's journey. It reflects a perspective that life is not merely a series of events but a continuous passage that requires perseverance and intentionality.

The usage of διαγώ in the New Testament can be seen in contexts where the focus is on the conduct or manner of life. It suggests a life lived with purpose, often in the face of challenges or trials. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of living a life that is pleasing to God, characterized by faithfulness and endurance.
