Strong's Lexicon alupoteros: Less sorrowful, less grievous Original Word: ἀλυπότερος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἄλυπος (alupos), meaning "free from pain" or "without grief," with the comparative suffix -τερος (-teros), indicating a greater degree. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀλυπότερος, the concept of reduced sorrow or grief can be related to Hebrew words like שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's H7965), which denotes peace and completeness, or נָחַם (nacham, Strong's H5162), meaning to comfort or console. Usage: The term ἀλυπότερος is used to describe a state of being less sorrowful or experiencing reduced grief. It conveys a comparative sense, indicating a decrease in emotional distress or pain. This word is used to express a relative improvement in emotional or spiritual well-being. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, emotional states were often discussed in terms of balance and moderation. The concept of being "less sorrowful" would resonate with philosophical ideals of achieving a state of tranquility and emotional stability. In the context of early Christianity, this term would be relevant in discussions about the peace and comfort found in faith, even amidst trials and tribulations.
