Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from a primary root meaning "pertaining to self."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of personal ownership or association in Hebrew is often conveyed by words like בַּעַל (ba'al • Strong's Hebrew 1167), which can mean "owner" or "master," and לְבַד (lebad • Strong's Hebrew 905), meaning "alone" or "by oneself." These terms, while not direct equivalents, share thematic similarities with "ἴδιος" in their emphasis on personal possession and identity.

Usage: The word "ἴδιος" appears in various contexts in the New Testament, often to emphasize personal possession, responsibility, or association. It is used to describe one's own property, family, or actions.

Context: The Greek term "ἴδιος" is a versatile adjective used throughout the New Testament to convey the concept of personal ownership or association. It is frequently employed to highlight the distinction between what is common and what is personal or private. For instance, in the context of familial relationships, "ἴδιος" is used to refer to one's own family or household, as seen in passages like John 1:11, "He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him."

In the realm of personal responsibility, "ἴδιος" underscores the idea of individual accountability. For example, in Galatians 6:5, it is written, "For each one should carry his own load." Here, the term emphasizes the personal nature of the burden each believer is expected to bear.

The word also appears in discussions of spiritual gifts and ministries, where it denotes the unique roles and functions assigned to individuals within the body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12:11, it is stated, "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills."

Furthermore, "ἴδιος" is used in parables and teachings of Jesus to illustrate principles of stewardship and accountability. In Luke 16:12, Jesus asks, "And if you have not been faithful with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?" This usage highlights the expectation of faithfulness in managing what belongs to another before being entrusted with one's own.

Overall, "ἴδιος" serves as a key term in the New Testament for expressing the nuances of personal ownership, responsibility, and identity, reflecting the broader biblical themes of stewardship and individual accountability before God.
