Berean Strong's Lexicon
phanerós: Manifest, evident, clear, visible

Original Word: φανερός
Part of Speech: Adverb
Transliteration: phanerós
Pronunciation: fa-ne-ROS
Phonetic Spelling: (fan-er-oce')
Definition: Manifest, evident, clear, visible
Meaning: clearly, openly, manifestly.

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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is גָּלָה (galah), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover."

Usage: The Greek adjective φανερός (phanerós) is used to describe something that is apparent, visible, or clearly seen. It often refers to things that are made known or revealed, contrasting with what is hidden or secret. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the manifestation of God's truth, the visibility of good works, and the revelation of spiritual realities.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, visibility and revelation were significant concepts, often associated with divine epiphanies or the unveiling of truths. The term φανερός would have resonated with early Christians as they understood the importance of living out their faith in a way that was evident to others. The idea of making one's faith visible was crucial in a culture where public witness and testimony were valued.
