Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Onesiphorus, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of being a "benefit" or "help" can be related to Hebrew words like עֵזֶר (ezer), meaning "help" or "support." Usage: Onesiphorus is a personal name meaning "bringing profit" or "useful." In the New Testament, Onesiphorus is noted for his faithful service and support to the Apostle Paul during his imprisonment. Cultural and Historical Background: Onesiphorus was a Christian from Ephesus who is mentioned in the New Testament. During the time of the early church, Christians often faced persecution and hardship. Hospitality and support for fellow believers, especially those imprisoned for their faith, were highly valued acts of service. Onesiphorus exemplified these virtues by seeking out Paul in Rome and providing for his needs.
