Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δῆλος, the concept of clarity and evidence can be related to Hebrew words like נָכֹון (nakon), meaning "established" or "certain," and בָּרוּר (barur), meaning "clear" or "pure."

Usage: The Greek adjective δῆλος (délos) is used to describe something that is clear, evident, or manifest. It conveys the idea of something being plainly visible or easily understood. In the New Testament, it is often used to emphasize the clarity or obviousness of a statement or situation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, clarity and evidence were highly valued in both philosophical discourse and legal matters. The use of δῆλος would have resonated with Greek-speaking audiences familiar with the importance of clear evidence in rhetoric and argumentation. In the context of the New Testament, this term underscores the transparency and undeniability of certain truths, particularly those related to the teachings and works of Jesus Christ.

STRONGS NT 1212: δῆλος

δῆλος, δηλη, δῆλον (from Homer down), clear, evident, manifest: Matthew 26:73; δῆλον namely, ἐστιν it is manifest, evident, followed by ὅτι (4 Macc. 2:7; Xenophon, an. 1, 3, 9; others): 1 Corinthians 15:27 (here some would take the words adverbially and parenthetically, i. e. δηλονότι, manifestly, cf. Winer's Grammar, § 64, 2 a.); Galatians 3:11; 1 Timothy 6:7 (here L T Tr WH omit δῆλον). [SYNONYMS: δῆλος, φανερός: δῆλος, evident, what is known and understood, φανερός, manifest, as opposed to what is concealed or invisible; δῆλος points rather to inner perception, φανερός to outward appearance. Cf. Schmidt, chapter 129.]
