Usage: The term κρίνον is used in the New Testament to refer to lilies, particularly in the context of illustrating God's provision and care in nature. Context: The Greek word κρίνον appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' teachings, specifically in the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 6:28-29 (BSB), Jesus uses the lilies of the field as an example of God's provision: "And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these." Here, κρίνον symbolizes the natural beauty and care that God provides, surpassing even the splendor of King Solomon. This teaching emphasizes trust in God's provision and the futility of anxiety over material needs.
