Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb φαίνω (phaínō), meaning "to shine" or "to make visible."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for φανερός, similar concepts of visibility and revelation can be found in Hebrew words such as גָּלָה (galah, Strong's 1540), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover," and נִגְלָה (niglah, Strong's 1540 in the Niphal form), meaning "to be revealed" or "to be made known." These terms convey the idea of making something visible or known, akin to the Greek φανερός.

Usage: The term φανερός is used in the New Testament to describe things that are clearly seen or understood, often in contrast to things that are hidden or obscure. It is used to convey the idea of something being revealed or made known.

Context: The Greek word φανερός appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, emphasizing the concept of visibility and revelation. It is often used to describe the manifestation of God's truth, the evident nature of human actions, or the clear revelation of spiritual realities.

In the Gospels, φανερός is used to describe the public nature of Jesus' works and teachings. For example, in John 7:4, Jesus' brothers urge Him to make Himself known openly: "For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world." Here, φανερός underscores the idea of being publicly recognized and understood.

The Apostle Paul frequently uses φανερός to contrast the hidden and the revealed. In Romans 1:19, Paul speaks of God's attributes being clearly seen in creation: "For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them." This usage highlights the evident nature of God's revelation through the natural world.

In the context of moral and ethical behavior, φανερός is used to describe actions that are openly evident. Galatians 5:19 lists the "acts of the flesh" as being obvious: "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery." Here, the term emphasizes the clear and unmistakable nature of sinful behaviors.

The concept of φανερός also extends to eschatological themes, where the hidden will be revealed at the end of times. In 1 Corinthians 3:13, Paul speaks of each person's work being revealed: "his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work."

Overall, φανερός serves as a key term in the New Testament to express the idea of clarity, revelation, and the distinction between what is hidden and what is made known.
