Usage: In the New Testament, "thermé" refers to physical warmth or heat. It is used to describe the warmth of a fire or the heat of the day. The term is often associated with comfort and necessity, as warmth was essential for survival and well-being in ancient times.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, warmth was a crucial element of daily life.

Fireplaces and communal fires were central to homes and gatherings, providing not only warmth but also a place for cooking and social interaction. The concept of warmth extended beyond physical comfort to symbolize hospitality and care.
