Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb φρονέω (phroneō), meaning "to think" or "to have a mindset."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for φρόνημα, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to the mind or heart, such as לֵב (leb, Strong's H3820) meaning "heart" or "mind," and יֵצֶר (yetser, Strong's H3336) meaning "inclination" or "imagination." These terms often convey the inner thoughts and dispositions of individuals in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The term φρόνημα is used in the New Testament to describe the mindset or disposition of an individual, particularly in relation to spiritual or fleshly inclinations. It appears in contexts that contrast the mindset of the flesh with the mindset of the Spirit. Context: The Greek term φρόνημα (phronēma) is a noun that appears in the New Testament, primarily in the writings of the Apostle Paul. It is used to describe the inner disposition or mindset of a person, often in a moral or spiritual context. In Romans 8:6, Paul contrasts the φρόνημα of the flesh with the φρόνημα of the Spirit: "The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace" (BSB). Here, φρόνημα is used to highlight the fundamental difference between living according to the sinful nature and living according to the Holy Spirit. The mindset of the flesh leads to spiritual death, while the mindset of the Spirit results in life and peace.
