Usage: The term νόσημα is used in the context of physical ailments or diseases. It appears in ancient Greek literature and is used to describe various forms of sickness.

Context: The Greek word νόσημα (nosēma) is used to denote physical sickness or disease. In the New Testament, the concept of illness is often addressed in the context of Jesus' healing ministry, where He demonstrates His divine authority and compassion by healing those afflicted with various diseases. Although the specific term νόσημα does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible, the theme of healing is prevalent throughout the Gospels.

In the biblical narrative, sickness is sometimes portrayed as a consequence of living in a fallen world, and healing is seen as a sign of the in-breaking of God's kingdom. Jesus' healings serve as a testament to His messianic identity and His power over both physical and spiritual realms. The New Testament encourages believers to seek God's intervention in times of illness, emphasizing prayer, faith, and the anointing of the sick (James 5:14-15).

Theologically, sickness can also be understood as a metaphor for spiritual ailments, with Jesus as the ultimate healer who restores both body and soul. The healing miracles of Jesus are not only acts of compassion but also serve as a foretaste of the complete restoration that will come with the full realization of God's kingdom.
