Berean Strong's Lexicon phronéma: Mindset, thought, purpose, inclination Original Word: φρόνημα 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 "phronéma," the concept of mindset or inclination can be related to Hebrew terms like לֵב (leb, Strong's H3820), meaning "heart" or "inner man," which often denotes the seat of thought and intention. Usage: The term "phronéma" refers to the mindset or disposition of an individual. It encompasses the attitudes, inclinations, and purposes that govern one's thoughts and actions. In the New Testament, it is often used to contrast the mindset of the flesh with the mindset of the Spirit, highlighting the internal orientation that influences behavior and spiritual life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "phronéma" was significant in philosophical discussions about the nature of the mind and human behavior. It was understood as the inner disposition that directs one's life. In the context of early Christianity, this term was used to emphasize the transformation of the believer's mind through the work of the Holy Spirit, distinguishing between worldly and spiritual inclinations.
