Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὑγιής (hugiēs), meaning "healthy" or "sound."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑγιαίνω, similar concepts of health and soundness can be found in Hebrew words such as שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's H7965), which denotes peace, completeness, and welfare, and תָּם (tam, Strong's H8535), meaning complete or sound. These terms, like ὑγιαίνω, convey a sense of wholeness and well-being.

Usage: The term ὑγιαίνω is used in the New Testament to describe physical health, as well as metaphorically to refer to soundness in faith and doctrine. It appears in contexts where physical well-being is discussed, as well as in exhortations to maintain sound teaching.

Context: The Greek verb ὑγιαίνω is used in the New Testament to convey both physical and spiritual health. In its literal sense, it refers to the state of being in good health or free from illness. For example, in Luke 5:31, Jesus uses the term to describe those who are physically well: "Jesus answered, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.'" Here, ὑγιαίνω underscores the contrast between those who are physically healthy and those in need of healing.

Beyond its literal application, ὑγιαίνω is also employed metaphorically to describe soundness in doctrine and faith. In the pastoral epistles, Paul frequently uses the term to emphasize the importance of maintaining correct teaching. For instance, in Titus 2:1, Paul instructs, "But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine." The use of ὑγιαίνω in this context highlights the necessity of doctrinal integrity and the preservation of true teaching within the church.

The dual application of ὑγιαίνω in the New Testament reflects the holistic view of health and well-being, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining both bodily health and doctrinal purity, as both are essential for a thriving Christian life.
