Berean Strong's Lexicon thnétos: Mortal Original Word: θνητός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb θνῄσκω (thnēskō), meaning "to die." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "thnétos," the concept of mortality is expressed in the Hebrew Bible through words like אָדָם (adam, Strong's H120), meaning "man" or "mankind," which often carries the connotation of being mortal. Usage: The term "thnétos" is used in the New Testament to describe that which is subject to death, specifically referring to human beings in their earthly, perishable state. It emphasizes the transient and fragile nature of human life in contrast to the eternal and imperishable nature of God and the life to come. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of mortality was a common theme in philosophy and literature, often highlighting the fleeting nature of human existence and the inevitability of death. This understanding was also present in Jewish thought, where human mortality was seen as a consequence of the Fall, as described in Genesis. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, use "thnétos" to contrast the present human condition with the hope of resurrection and eternal life through Christ.
