Usage: The Greek word "psuchos" is used in the New Testament to describe something that is cold, often in a literal sense. It is used to convey the absence of warmth or heat, and by extension, can imply a lack of fervor or enthusiasm.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, temperature was a significant factor in daily life, affecting everything from agriculture to health. The concept of "cold" was often associated with lifelessness or inactivity, contrasting with the warmth that signifies life and vitality. In a spiritual context, coldness could symbolize a lack of spiritual fervor or love.
