Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐπιχορηγέω (epichorēgeō), which means "to supply" or "to furnish."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιχορηγία, the concept of divine provision and support is echoed in several Hebrew terms, such as יָסַף (yasaph, Strong's H3254), which means "to add" or "to increase," and סָפַק (saphak, Strong's H5606), which means "to supply" or "to provide." These terms capture the essence of God's provision and support as seen in the Old Testament.

Usage: The word ἐπιχορηγία is used in the New Testament to describe the provision or supply of what is needed, often in a spiritual or communal context.

Context: The Greek term ἐπιχορηγία appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the provision or supply of resources, whether material or spiritual. It is used to describe the generous and sufficient supply that God provides to believers, enabling them to fulfill their spiritual duties and grow in faith.

In Philippians 1:19, the Apostle Paul uses ἐπιχορηγία to express his confidence in the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, which he believes will lead to his deliverance: "For I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance." (BSB)

The concept of ἐπιχορηγία underscores the belief that God, in His grace, supplies all that is necessary for the spiritual well-being and growth of His people. This provision is not limited to physical needs but extends to spiritual empowerment and guidance through the Holy Spirit.

The use of ἐπιχορηγία in the New Testament reflects the early Christian understanding of God's active role in sustaining and nurturing the faith community. It highlights the interconnectedness of prayer, divine provision, and the believer's journey towards spiritual maturity.
