Strong's Lexicon thnéskó: to die, to be dead Original Word: θνῄσκω Word Origin: A strengthened form of a simpler primary word θνήσκω (thnēskō), which is a root word. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4191 (מוּת, muth) - to die - H4194 (מָוֶת, maveth) - death Usage: The Greek verb "θνῄσκω" (thnéskó) primarily means "to die" or "to be dead." It is used in the New Testament to describe physical death, the cessation of life. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe spiritual death or separation from God due to sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, death was often viewed with a sense of inevitability and fear, as it marked the end of earthly existence. The concept of an afterlife varied among different philosophical and religious groups. In Jewish thought, death was seen as a consequence of sin, stemming from the fall of man in Genesis. The New Testament, however, presents death as a defeated enemy through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, offering hope of eternal life to believers.
