Strong's Lexicon dianuó: To accomplish, to complete, to finish Original Word: διανύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "διά" (dia, meaning "through") and the verb "νύω" (nuo, meaning "to go" or "to accomplish"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διανύω, the concept of completing or finishing is present in Hebrew words like כָּלָה (kalah, Strong's H3615), which means "to complete" or "to finish." Usage: The verb διανύω (dianuó) is used to convey the idea of completing a journey or task, emphasizing the process of going through something until it is finished. It suggests a sense of perseverance and determination in reaching a goal or fulfilling a purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of completing a journey or task was often associated with the virtues of endurance and diligence. The use of διανύω in the New Testament reflects the cultural value placed on perseverance and the fulfillment of one's duties or calling. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of running the race of faith with endurance, as seen in various New Testament passages.
