Usage: The term θανασίμος is used in the context of something that leads to or results in death. It is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual death or the deadly nature of sin. Context: The Greek adjective θανασίμος (thanásimos) is a term that conveys the concept of something being deadly or fatal. It is derived from the noun θάνατος (thanatos), which means "death." In the New Testament, θανασίμος is used to describe the lethal nature of certain actions or conditions, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense.
The term appears in contexts where the consequences of sin or disobedience are highlighted as leading to death. This can be understood both in a physical sense, as in the literal end of life, and in a spiritual sense, referring to separation from God or eternal death. The use of θανασίμος underscores the severity and seriousness of actions that are contrary to God's will.
In the Berean Standard Bible, θανασίμος is translated in a way that emphasizes its deadly implications. For example, in Romans 7:13, Paul discusses how the law, which is good, reveals sin to be exceedingly sinful, leading to death. The passage illustrates the deadly nature of sin when it is exposed by the law, highlighting the need for redemption through Christ.
The concept of θανασίμος is integral to understanding the gravity of sin and the necessity of salvation. It serves as a reminder of the ultimate consequence of living apart from God's commandments and the life-giving power of the Gospel.
