Berean Strong's Lexicon
Timotheos: Timothy

Original Word: Τιμόθεος
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: Timotheos
Pronunciation: tee-MAW-theh-os
Phonetic Spelling: (tee-moth'-eh-os)
Definition: Timothy
Meaning: Timothy, a Christian of Lystra, helper of Paul.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words τιμή (timē, meaning "honor") and θεός (theos, meaning "God"), thus "honoring God" or "honored by God."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Timothy, the concept of honoring God can be related to Hebrew names like Eliyahu (Elijah), which means "My God is Yahweh," emphasizing devotion to God.

Usage: Timotheos is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to Timothy, a young Christian leader and close companion of the Apostle Paul. Timothy is known for his faithfulness and dedication to the early church, serving as a pastor and evangelist.

Cultural and Historical Background: Timothy was the son of a Jewish mother, Eunice, and a Greek father. He was well-versed in the Scriptures from a young age, thanks to the influence of his mother and grandmother, Lois. Timothy joined Paul on his missionary journeys and was entrusted with significant responsibilities in the early church, including leadership roles in Ephesus. His mixed heritage and upbringing made him a valuable bridge between Jewish and Gentile believers.
