Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 77: ἀδάπανοςἀδάπανος, (δαπάνη), without expense, requiring no outlay: 1 Corinthians 9:18 (ἵνα ἀδάπανον θήσω τό εὐαγγέλιον, 'that I may make Christian instruction gratuitous'). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-), meaning "without," and δαπάνη (dapane), meaning "expense" or "cost."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀδάπανος in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, as the concept of providing services or goods "without cost" is contextually specific to the New Testament Greek usage. However, the idea of selfless service and generosity can be found in various Old Testament passages, though not encapsulated in a single Hebrew term. Usage: The word ἀδάπανος is used in the New Testament to describe an action or service provided without requiring payment or financial compensation. Context: The Greek term ἀδάπανος appears in the New Testament in the context of the Apostle Paul's ministry. It is used to emphasize the selflessness and integrity of Paul's mission work, highlighting that he did not seek financial gain from those he served. This term is found in 1 Corinthians 9:18, where Paul discusses his rights as an apostle and his decision to preach the gospel without charge to avoid placing a financial burden on the believers. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as follows: "What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it."
