Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from a primary root akin to κινέω (kineo), meaning "to move" or "to set in motion."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for κίνδυνος, the concept of danger or peril is expressed in the Hebrew Bible through various terms, such as צָרָה (tsarah, Strong's H6869), meaning "distress" or "trouble," and סַכָּנָה (sakanah), meaning "danger" or "risk." These terms capture similar themes of threat and adversity faced by God's people throughout the biblical narrative.

Usage: The term κίνδυνος is used in the New Testament to describe situations of danger or peril, often in the context of physical or spiritual threats faced by individuals or groups.

Context: The Greek word κίνδυνος appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of danger or peril, particularly in the context of the Apostle Paul's experiences and teachings. It is used to describe the various threats and challenges faced by early Christians as they spread the Gospel and lived out their faith in a hostile world.

In 2 Corinthians 11:26, Paul recounts his numerous hardships, stating, "in journeys often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own people, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brothers." Here, κίνδυνος is translated as "perils," highlighting the constant threats Paul encountered in his missionary journeys.

The use of κίνδυνος underscores the reality of the Christian life as one that may involve significant risks and challenges. It serves as a reminder of the courage and faith required to persevere in the face of adversity. The term also reflects the broader biblical theme of reliance on God's protection and deliverance amidst life's dangers.

The concept of κίνδυνος is not limited to physical threats but extends to spiritual dangers as well. Believers are called to be vigilant and discerning, aware of the spiritual perils that can lead them away from their faith and mission.
