Strong's Lexicon astheneó: To be weak, to be sick, to be without strength Original Word: ἀσθενέω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἀσθενής (asthenēs), meaning "weak" or "feeble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2470 (חָלָה, chalah): To be weak, sick, or afflicted. - H1742 (דַּוָּי, davay): Faint, sick. Usage: The verb "astheneó" primarily denotes a state of physical weakness or illness. It can also refer to a lack of strength in a broader sense, including spiritual or moral weakness. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe those who are physically ill or infirm, as well as those who are spiritually weak or lacking in faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, physical illness was often seen as a manifestation of spiritual or moral deficiency. The concept of weakness was not only physical but also extended to one's social and spiritual standing. In the context of early Christianity, the community was called to care for the weak and sick, reflecting the teachings of Jesus who healed the sick and showed compassion to the marginalized.
