Strong's Lexicon entos: within, inside Original Word: ἐντός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "en" (ἐν), meaning "in" or "within." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "entos," the concept of inner spiritual reality can be related to Hebrew words like "לֵב" (leb, Strong's H3820), meaning "heart," which often signifies the inner person or the seat of emotions and will. Usage: The Greek word "entos" is used to denote something that is inside or within a particular boundary or space. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to refer to the inner being or the spiritual realm within a person. In the New Testament, it emphasizes the internal aspect of faith and the kingdom of God as an inward reality rather than an external one. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of the "inner" versus the "outer" was significant in philosophical and religious discussions. The idea of an inner spiritual reality was prevalent in various philosophical schools, including Stoicism and Platonism. In Jewish thought, the heart and inner life were central to one's relationship with God, as seen in the emphasis on internal purity and sincerity in the Hebrew Scriptures.
