Strong's Lexicon exischuó: To prevail, to have strength, to be able Original Word: ἐξισχύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb ἰσχύω (ischuó, meaning "to be strong" or "to have strength"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐξισχύω, similar concepts of strength and ability can be found in Hebrew words like חָזַק (chazaq, Strong's H2388), meaning "to be strong" or "to strengthen." Usage: The verb ἐξισχύω conveys the idea of having sufficient strength or ability to accomplish something. It implies a sense of prevailing or overcoming through strength. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the ability to achieve a particular goal or to endure through strength provided by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, strength and power were highly valued traits, often associated with physical prowess, military might, and personal virtue. The concept of strength was not only physical but also moral and spiritual. In the context of the early Christian church, strength was understood as deriving from God, enabling believers to endure trials and fulfill their spiritual calling.
