Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μακροχρόνιος, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe endurance and longevity. For example:
• Strong's Hebrew 5769 (עוֹלָם, olam): Often translated as "everlasting" or "eternal," this word conveys a sense of perpetuity and is used to describe God's eternal nature and covenant.
• Strong's Hebrew 753 (אָרֵךְ, arek): Meaning "long" or "slow," often used in the context of "long-suffering" or "patience," as seen in descriptions of God's character.

In summary, μακροχρόνιος encapsulates the idea of enduring over time, a concept that is integral to understanding the nature of faith and the promises of God as depicted in the Bible.

Usage: The term μακροχρόνιος is used to describe something that persists over an extended duration. It is not frequently found in the New Testament but is relevant in discussions of endurance and longevity.

Context: • The Greek word μακροχρόνιος is a compound adjective that conveys the idea of something that endures or persists over a significant period. In the context of biblical literature, it can be used to describe the enduring nature of God's promises or the long-suffering character of individuals who remain faithful over time.
• While the specific term μακροχρόνιος does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept it represents is echoed in various passages that speak to the enduring nature of God's covenant and the perseverance required of believers. For example, in Hebrews 10:36 (BSB), it is written, "You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised." This verse highlights the necessity of enduring faith and patience over time, akin to the idea of μακροχρόνιος.
• Theologically, the concept of μακροχρόνιος can be linked to the attributes of God, such as His eternal nature and His faithfulness across generations. It also serves as an encouragement to believers to remain steadfast in their faith, trusting in the long-term fulfillment of God's promises.
