Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καύχημα, the concept of boasting or glorying can be related to Hebrew terms such as תְּהִלָּה (tehillah, Strong's 8416) meaning "praise" or "glory," and גָּאוֹן (ga'on, Strong's 1347) meaning "pride" or "majesty." These terms capture similar themes of boasting or glorying in the context of one's relationship with God. Usage: The word καύχημα is used in the New Testament to describe the act of boasting or the subject of one's pride. It can refer to both legitimate and illegitimate forms of boasting, depending on the context. Context: • The term καύχημα appears in several New Testament passages, often in the writings of the Apostle Paul. It is used to express the concept of boasting, which can be either commendable or condemnable based on the object of the boast.
