Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 1683: ἐμαυτοῦ

ἐμαυτοῦ, ἐμαυτης, ἐμαυτοῦ (from ἐμοῦ and αὐτοῦ, reflexive pronoun of 1st person, of myself, used only in the genitive, dative, and accusative singular (cf. Buttmann, 110ff (96ff)): ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ, see ἀπό, II. 2 d. aa.; ὑπ' ἐμαυτόν, under my control, Matthew 8:9; Luke 7:8; ἐμαυτόν, myself, as opposed to Christ, the supposed minister of sin (Luke 7:17), Galatians 2:18; tacitly opposed to an animal offered in sacrifice, John 17:19; negligently for αὐτός ἐμέ, 1 Corinthians 4:3 (yet cf. Meyer at the passage). As in Greek writers (Matthiae, § 148 Anm. 2, i., p. 354; Passow, under the word, p. 883), its force is sometimes so weakened that it scarcely differs from the simple person pronoun of the first person (yet denied by Meyer), as John 12:32; John 14:21; Philemon 1:13.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A combination of the Greek pronoun ἐγώ (egō), meaning "I," and the reflexive pronoun αὐτός (autos), meaning "self."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct equivalent in Hebrew for the Greek reflexive pronoun ἐμαυτοῦ, as Hebrew uses different grammatical structures to express reflexive actions. However, the concept of self-reference or actions upon oneself can be found in various Hebrew terms and constructions, such as the use of the reflexive verb form (Hitpael) in Hebrew grammar.

Usage: The term ἐμαυτοῦ is used in the New Testament to express actions or states that the speaker or subject performs or experiences upon themselves. It is often used to emphasize personal involvement or responsibility.

Context: The Greek reflexive pronoun ἐμαυτοῦ appears in the New Testament to denote actions directed back upon the speaker or subject. It is a first-person singular pronoun, emphasizing the personal nature of the action or state. This term is used to convey a sense of self-reference, often highlighting personal responsibility, introspection, or self-awareness.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐμαυτοῦ is translated as "myself" and is found in various contexts where the speaker is reflecting on their own actions or state of being. For example, in John 5:30, Jesus says, "I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear, and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." Here, ἐμαυτοῦ underscores Jesus' reliance on the Father and His submission to divine will, rather than acting independently.

Another instance is in 2 Corinthians 12:5, where Paul writes, "I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses." In this context, ἐμαυτοῦ is used to contrast Paul's reluctance to boast about his own achievements, instead choosing to highlight his weaknesses to demonstrate the power of Christ.

The use of ἐμαυτοῦ in the New Testament reflects a broader theological theme of humility and dependence on God, as well as the importance of self-examination and personal accountability in the Christian life.
