Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek possessive pronoun ὑμέτερος, similar possessive concepts can be found in Hebrew pronouns such as לָכֶם (lakhem, "yours" for masculine plural) and לָכֶן (lakhen, "yours" for feminine plural), which convey possession or belonging in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to denote possession or association with the audience being addressed, often in the context of moral or spiritual exhortation. Context: The Greek term ὑμέτερος appears in the New Testament as a possessive pronoun used to emphasize the relationship between the speaker and the audience, often in a communal or collective sense. It is employed to convey a sense of belonging or ownership, particularly in spiritual or moral contexts. For example, in 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, Paul uses ὑμέτερος to remind the Corinthian believers of their collective ownership of all things in Christ: "So then, no more boasting about men. All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God."
