These Hebrew terms similarly encompass a range of practical and ethical dimensions in their usage. Usage: In the New Testament, πρᾶγμα is used to describe various types of matters or affairs, often with a focus on practical or ethical implications. It can refer to a legal matter, a business transaction, or a moral issue. Context: The Greek word πρᾶγμα appears in several New Testament passages, each highlighting different aspects of its meaning. In Hebrews 11:1, πρᾶγμα is used in the context of faith, describing the "substance" or "reality" of things hoped for: "Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." Here, πρᾶγμα underscores the tangible reality of faith's object, even when unseen.
