STRONGS NT 442: ἀνθρώπινος

ἀνθρώπινος, ἀνθρωπίνῃ, ἀνθρώπινον (ἄνθρωπος), (from Herodotus down), human; applied to things belonging to men: χεῖρες, Acts 17:25 L T Tr WH; φύσις, James 3:7; or instituted by men: κτίσις, (which see 3), 1 Peter 2:13; adjusted to the strength of man: πειρασμός (R. V. a temptation such as than can bear), 1 Corinthians 10:13 (cf. Neander (and Heinrici) at the passage; Pollux 3, 27, 131 ὁ οὐκ ἄν τίς ὑπομενειεν, ὁ οὐκ ἄν τίς ἐνέγκῃ ... τό δέ ἐναντίον, κοῦφον, ἐυφορον, ὀιστον, ἀνθρώπινον, ἀνεκτον). Opposite to divine things, with the implied idea of defect or weakness: 1 Corinthians 2:4 Rec.; 13 (σοφία, originating with man); 1 Corinthians 4:3 (ἀνθρωπίνῃ ἡμέρα the judicial day of men, i. e. human judgment). ἀνθρώπινον λέγω, Romans 6:19 (I say what is human, speak as is usual among men, who do not always suitably weigh the force of their words; by this expression the apostle apologizes for the use of the phrase δουλωθῆναι τῇ δικαιοσύνη).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos), meaning "man" or "human."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνθρώπινος, the concept of human nature and characteristics can be related to Hebrew terms such as אָדָם (adam, Strong's Hebrew 120), which refers to man or mankind, and בָּשָׂר (basar, Strong's Hebrew 1320), often used to denote flesh or human nature. These terms similarly highlight the human condition in contrast to the divine.

Usage: The term ἀνθρώπινος is used in the New Testament to describe things that are of human origin or nature, distinguishing them from divine or supernatural aspects.

Context: The Greek adjective ἀνθρώπινος appears in the New Testament to denote qualities, actions, or attributes that are inherently human. This term is used to contrast human limitations and perspectives with divine attributes and wisdom. It emphasizes the finite and often flawed nature of human understanding and actions when compared to the infinite and perfect nature of God.

In 1 Corinthians 10:13, the Apostle Paul uses ἀνθρώπινος to describe temptations, indicating that the challenges faced by believers are common to humanity and not beyond human capacity to endure with God's help: "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it."

This usage underscores the idea that while human experiences and struggles are universal, God's provision and faithfulness offer a way to overcome them. The term serves as a reminder of the shared human condition and the need for divine assistance in overcoming life's challenges.
