Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ὑπό (hypó), meaning "under," and the verb φέρω (phérō), meaning "to bear" or "to carry."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑποφέρω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words such as סָבַל (sabal, Strong's 5445), which means "to bear" or "to carry," and נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's 5375), which also means "to lift," "to carry," or "to bear." These Hebrew terms convey the idea of bearing burdens or enduring hardships, akin to the Greek ὑποφέρω.

Usage: The verb ὑποφέρω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of enduring or bearing up under trials, difficulties, or burdens. It conveys a sense of perseverance and steadfastness in the face of adversity.

Context: The Greek verb ὑποφέρω appears in the New Testament to express the concept of enduring or bearing up under pressure or hardship. This term is often associated with the Christian virtue of patience and perseverance, especially in the context of suffering for one's faith or enduring trials. The use of ὑποφέρω highlights the strength and resilience required to remain steadfast in challenging circumstances.

In 1 Corinthians 10:13, the Apostle Paul uses this term to assure believers that God will not allow them to be tempted beyond what they can bear, but will provide a way of escape so that they can endure it: "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it."

The concept of ὑποφέρω is integral to the Christian understanding of suffering and perseverance. It encourages believers to trust in God's faithfulness and strength, knowing that He equips them to endure trials and emerge victorious. This endurance is not passive but involves active reliance on God's grace and power.
