Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb ἔχω (echō, meaning "to have" or "to hold").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of enduring or bearing with others in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with terms like סָבַל (sabal, Strong's Hebrew 5445) and נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's Hebrew 5375), which convey similar meanings of carrying, bearing, or enduring burdens.

Usage: The verb ἀνέχω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of enduring or bearing with something or someone. It often conveys the sense of patience or forbearance in the face of difficulties or challenges.

Context: The Greek verb ἀνέχω appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the Christian virtues of patience and endurance. It is often used in contexts where believers are encouraged to bear with one another in love, to endure hardships, or to sustain their faith amidst trials.

In Ephesians 4:2, Paul exhorts believers to live "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love." Here, ἀνέχω underscores the importance of maintaining unity and peace within the Christian community through mutual forbearance.

In Colossians 3:13, the term is used similarly: "Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." This passage highlights the necessity of patience and forgiveness as foundational elements of Christian relationships.

The concept of enduring hardships is also present in 2 Timothy 4:3, where Paul warns of a time when people "will not tolerate sound doctrine." The use of ἀνέχω here suggests a refusal to endure or accept teachings that are contrary to personal desires, contrasting with the call to steadfastness in true doctrine.

The verb is also found in 1 Corinthians 4:12, where Paul describes his own experience: "When we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world." Here, ἀνέχω reflects the apostolic endurance of persecution and mistreatment for the sake of the Gospel.

Overall, ἀνέχω is a term that encapsulates the Christian call to patience, endurance, and forbearance, whether in interpersonal relationships or in the face of external challenges.
