These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of gifts or blessings, often highlighting the gracious and generous nature of God in the Old Testament. The concept of δωρέομαι in the New Testament continues this theme, focusing on the ultimate gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Usage: The verb δωρέομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of giving freely or bestowing something as a gift. It emphasizes the generosity and grace involved in the act of giving.

Context: The Greek verb δωρέομαι appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of giving freely and graciously. It is often used in contexts where the emphasis is on the generosity and unmerited nature of the gift. This term is closely associated with the theological concept of grace, where God bestows blessings and salvation upon humanity not because of their merit, but out of His own benevolent nature.

In the Berean Standard Bible, δωρέομαι is used in passages that highlight the divine generosity of God. For example, in Acts 3:14, Peter speaks of the "Author of life" whom God raised from the dead, emphasizing the gift of life and salvation through Jesus Christ. The use of δωρέομαι in such contexts underscores the unearned and gracious nature of God's gifts to humanity.

Theologically, δωρέομαι is significant in understanding the nature of God's interactions with humanity. It reflects the biblical theme that God's gifts, particularly the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, are given freely and cannot be earned by human effort. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative of grace, where God's favor is extended to humanity out of His love and mercy.
