ἔνδειξις, ἐνδειξεως, ἡ (ἐνδείκνυμι), demonstration, proof: i. e. manifestation, made in act, τῆς δικαιοσύνης, Romans 3:25f; τῆς ἀγάπης, 2 Corinthians 8:24; equivalent to sign, evidence (A. V. evident token), ἀπωλείας, Philippians 1:28. (Plato, others.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐνδείκνυμι (endeiknymi), meaning "to show" or "to demonstrate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἔνδειξις, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of signs or proofs, such as:

- אוֹת (oth) • Strong's Hebrew 226: A sign or token, often used to indicate a divine sign or miracle.
- מוֹפֵת (mopheth) • Strong's Hebrew 4159: A wonder or miracle, serving as a sign or proof of divine intervention.

These Hebrew terms, like ἔνδειξις, are used in the biblical text to denote signs or demonstrations of God's power and truth.

Usage: The word ἔνδειξις is used in the New Testament to denote a demonstration or proof of a particular quality or truth. It is often used in contexts where an action or event serves as evidence of a deeper reality or principle.

Context: The Greek term ἔνδειξις appears in the New Testament primarily in the writings of the Apostle Paul. It is used to convey the idea of a visible or tangible demonstration of an underlying truth or principle. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἔνδειξις is translated as "proof" or "evidence."

One notable usage is found in Philippians 1:28, where Paul writes, "without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation—and that from God." Here, ἔνδειξις is translated as "a clear sign," indicating that the believers' steadfastness in the face of opposition serves as evidence of both the opponents' eventual downfall and the believers' ultimate salvation.

Another instance is in Romans 3:25-26, where Paul discusses God's demonstration of His righteousness: "God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus." In this passage, ἔνδειξις is translated as "demonstrate," emphasizing God's action as a proof of His just nature.

The concept of ἔνδειξις underscores the importance of visible actions or events that reveal deeper spiritual truths. It highlights the role of evidence in affirming faith and the reality of divine principles at work in the world.
