Strong's Lexicon seautou: yourself Original Word: σεαυτοῦ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "σε" (se), meaning "you," and "αὐτός" (autos), meaning "self." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves reflexive forms of verbs or pronouns, such as "נַפְשְׁךָ" (nafsh'kha), meaning "yourself" or "your soul," as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 6:5. Usage: The Greek reflexive pronoun "σεαυτοῦ" is used to refer back to the subject of the sentence, emphasizing the action or state of the subject upon itself. It is often used to express actions that one does to oneself or for one's own benefit. In the New Testament, it is used to highlight personal responsibility, self-examination, and self-care. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of self was significant in philosophical discussions, particularly in Stoicism, which emphasized self-control and personal virtue. The use of reflexive pronouns in Greek literature often underscored the importance of self-awareness and personal responsibility. In the context of the New Testament, this aligns with the biblical call for believers to examine themselves and live in a manner worthy of their calling.
