Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἔπαινος (epainos), meaning "praise" or "commendation."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries for the Greek name Ἐπαίνετος, as it is a proper noun specific to the New Testament context. However, the concept of being "praiseworthy" or "commendable" can be related to Hebrew words such as תְּהִלָּה (tehillah, Strong's Hebrew 8416), meaning "praise" or "song of praise."

Usage: The name Epainetos appears in the New Testament as a personal name. It is used to refer to a specific individual in the early Christian community.

Context: Epainetos is mentioned in the New Testament in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans. In Romans 16:5, Paul sends greetings to Epainetos, whom he describes as "the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia." This indicates that Epainetos was an early believer and likely played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in that region. His mention in Paul's letter suggests that he was a respected member of the Christian community, possibly involved in ministry or leadership.

The reference to Epainetos highlights the personal connections and networks within the early church, as well as the importance of individual believers in the growth of the Christian faith. Paul's acknowledgment of Epainetos as the "first convert" underscores the significance of his conversion and the impact it may have had on the evangelistic efforts in Asia.
