1208. deuteros
Berean Strong's Lexicon
deuteros: Second

Original Word: δεύτερος
Part of Speech: Adjective; Adverb
Transliteration: deuteros
Pronunciation: DYOO-ter-os
Phonetic Spelling: (dyoo'-ter-os)
Definition: Second
Meaning: second; with the article: in the second place, for the second time.

Word Origin: From the Greek root "δύο" (duo), meaning "two."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is שֵׁנִי (sheni), Strong's Hebrew #8145, which also means "second."

Usage: The Greek word "deuteros" is used to denote something that is second in order, rank, or time. It is often used in the New Testament to describe sequences, such as the second in a series of events, the second person, or the second time something occurs.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, numerical order was significant in various aspects of life, including legal, social, and religious contexts. The concept of "second" often implied a position of lesser importance compared to the "first," but it could also indicate a necessary step in a sequence or process. In Jewish tradition, the number two could symbolize witness or confirmation, as seen in the requirement for two witnesses to establish a matter (Deuteronomy 19:15).

STRONGS NT 1208: δεύτερος

δεύτερος, δευτέρᾳ, δεύτερον (from Homer down; Curtius, § 277), second: Matthew 22:26; Mark 12:21; Luke 12:38; John 4:54; Revelation 4:7, etc.; the second, the other of two: Matthew 22:39; Mark 12:31; 1 Corinthians 15:47; Titus 3:10; 2 Peter 3:1; Hebrews 8:7; Hebrews 10:9; δεύτερος θάνατος (see θάνατος, 3), Revelation 2:11; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:8; δευτέρᾳ χάρις in 2 Corinthians 1:15 is not a double benefit, but a second, opposed to the former which the Corinthians would have had if Paul in passing through Achaia into Macedonia had visited them πρότερον (WH text Tr marginal reading read δεύτερον χαράν, which see). The neuter δεύτερον is used adverbially in the second place, a second time (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 37, 5 Note 1): John 3:4; Revelation 19:3; πάλιν is added, as often in Greek writers (see ἄνωθεν, at the end): John 21:16; also τό δεύτερον, 2 Corinthians 13:2; Jude 1:5; ἐκ δευτέρου (1 Macc. 9:1), Mark 14:72; John 9:24; Acts 11:9; Hebrews 9:28; cf. Winer's Grammar, § 51, 1d.; with πάλιν added, Matthew 26:42; Acts 10:15 (Homer, Odyssey 3, 161 ἐπί δεύτερον ἀυτις); έ᾿ντω δευτέρῳ at the second time, Acts 7:13 (when they had come the second time); δεύτερον in a partition then, in the second place: 1 Corinthians 12:28.
