The term "helpeth" is an archaic form of the word "helps" and is often found in older translations of the Bible. It signifies the act of providing assistance, support, or aid. In the context of Scripture, "helpeth" is used to describe both divine assistance from God and the support that individuals provide to one another.

Divine Help

The concept of God as a helper is a recurring theme throughout the Bible. God's assistance is portrayed as both a source of strength and a refuge in times of trouble. In Psalm 46:1 , it is written, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble." This verse emphasizes the reliability and constancy of God's help, assuring believers that they can depend on Him in any circumstance.

Another significant reference is found in Psalm 121:2 , which states, "My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." This verse highlights the omnipotence of God, underscoring that the Creator of all things is the source of help for His people. The assurance of divine help is a cornerstone of faith, encouraging believers to trust in God's provision and protection.

Human Help

In addition to divine help, the Bible also speaks of the importance of helping one another. The New Testament frequently exhorts believers to support and care for each other as a reflection of Christ's love. Galatians 6:2 instructs, "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." This call to action emphasizes the communal aspect of the Christian faith, where believers are encouraged to assist each other in times of need.

The Apostle Paul, in his letters, often acknowledges the help he received from fellow believers. In Romans 16:3-4 , he writes, "Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them." This passage illustrates the vital role that mutual support and cooperation play in the life of the early Church.

The Holy Spirit as Helper

The Holy Spirit is also described as a helper in the New Testament. In John 14:16 , Jesus promises His disciples, "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever." The term "Advocate" is often translated as "Helper" or "Comforter," indicating the Holy Spirit's role in guiding, supporting, and empowering believers.

The Holy Spirit's help is essential for living a life that honors God, providing wisdom, strength, and comfort. Romans 8:26 further explains, "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words." This verse underscores the intimate and personal nature of the Holy Spirit's assistance in the believer's life.

In summary, the concept of "helpeth" in the Bible encompasses both divine and human assistance. It reflects the character of God as a faithful helper and the call for believers to support one another, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
