Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 230: ἀληθῶςἀληθῶς, adverb (from Aeschylus down), truly, of a truth, in reality; most certainly: John 1:47 (48); Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from ἀληθής (alēthēs), meaning "true" or "truthful."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of truth in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with the word אֱמֶת (emet), Strong's Hebrew 571, which conveys the idea of firmness, faithfulness, and truth. Another related term is נָכוֹן (nakon), Strong's Hebrew 3559, meaning "established" or "certain." These Hebrew terms, like ἀληθῶς, emphasize the reliability and certainty of God's word and character. Usage: This word is used in the New Testament to emphasize the truth or reality of a statement, often in the context of affirming a significant truth or divine reality. Context: The Greek adverb ἀληθῶς appears in the New Testament to underscore the veracity or certainty of a statement. It is often used by Jesus and others to affirm the truth of a declaration or to highlight the reality of a situation. For example, in John 1:47, Jesus uses ἀληθῶς to describe Nathanael as "truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit." This usage underscores the genuine nature of Nathanael's character. Similarly, in John 8:31, Jesus speaks to those who believe in Him, saying, "If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples." Here, ἀληθῶς emphasizes the authenticity of discipleship that is evidenced by adherence to Jesus' teachings.
