Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb τρυφάω (truphaō), meaning "to live luxuriously" or "to be delicate."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Τρυφῶσα, as it is a proper noun specific to the New Testament context. However, the concept of "working hard" or "laboring" in service to God can be related to various Hebrew terms for service or labor, such as עָבַד (avad • Strong's Hebrew 5647), which means "to serve" or "to work." Usage: Tryphōsa is used in the New Testament as a personal name. It appears in the context of greetings to early Christians. Context: Tryphōsa is mentioned in the New Testament in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans. In Romans 16:12, Paul sends greetings to Tryphena and Tryphōsa, who are described as women who "work hard in the Lord." This brief mention suggests that Tryphōsa, along with Tryphena, was a member of the early Christian community in Rome and was actively involved in ministry or service within the church. The use of the term "work hard" indicates a commendation of their dedication and effort in the service of the Lord, highlighting the important role women played in the early church. The pairing of Tryphena and Tryphōsa, possibly sisters or close companions, reflects the communal and familial nature of the early Christian movement.
