Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from Φίλιπποι (Philippoi), which refers to the city of Philippi in Macedonia.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Φιλιππήσιος, as it is a term specific to the Greek language and the context of the New Testament. However, the concept of identifying individuals by their city of origin is present in various forms throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often using terms like "Jebusite" or "Canaanite" to denote people from specific regions or cities.

Usage: The term is used to describe individuals from the city of Philippi, particularly in the context of the early Christian community established there.

Context: The term Φιλιππήσιος (Philippēsios) is used in the New Testament to refer to the people of Philippi, a prominent city in the region of Macedonia. Philippi was a significant urban center during the Roman Empire, known for its strategic location on the Via Egnatia, a major Roman road. The city was named after Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great.

The Apostle Paul had a close relationship with the Philippian church, which he founded during his second missionary journey, as recorded in Acts 16. The church at Philippi was the first Christian community established in Europe. The Philippians were known for their generosity and support of Paul's ministry, as evidenced by their financial contributions mentioned in Philippians 4:15-16.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is not directly translated but is understood in the context of Paul's letter to the Philippians, where he addresses the believers in Philippi with affection and gratitude. The epistle to the Philippians is a testament to the strong bond between Paul and the Philippian Christians, highlighting themes of joy, unity, and perseverance in the faith.

The city of Philippi also holds historical significance due to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, where the forces of Mark Antony and Octavian defeated the assassins of Julius Caesar. This historical backdrop adds to the understanding of the cultural and political environment in which the early Philippian church existed.
