Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from ἐνεργής (energes), meaning "active, operative," which comes from ἐν (en, "in") and ἔργον (ergon, "work").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνέργεια, the concept of divine power and activity can be related to several Hebrew terms, such as חַיִל (chayil, Strong's 2428), meaning "strength" or "power," and פֹּעַל (po'al, Strong's 6467), meaning "work" or "deed." These terms similarly convey the idea of active power or effective work, often in the context of God's mighty acts. Usage: The word ἐνέργεια is used in the New Testament to describe the active power or operation of God, particularly in the context of His divine power and influence in the world and in believers. Context: The term ἐνέργεια appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the dynamic and effective power of God at work in various contexts. In Ephesians 1:19, it is used to describe "the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe," highlighting the divine energy that is at work in believers. Similarly, in Philippians 3:21, it refers to the power by which Christ "will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body," indicating the transformative power of Christ's resurrection.
