Strong's Lexicon ischuros: Strong, mighty, powerful Original Word: ἰσχυρός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root "ἰσχύς" (ischus), meaning "strength" or "might." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2389 (חָזָק, chazaq): Strong, mighty - H1368 (גִּבּוֹר, gibbor): Mighty, valiant, warrior Usage: The Greek adjective "ischuros" is used to describe something or someone possessing great strength, power, or might. It can refer to physical strength, but it is often used metaphorically to denote moral, spiritual, or authoritative power. In the New Testament, "ischuros" is frequently used to describe the power of God, the strength of faith, or the might of spiritual beings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, strength and power were highly valued traits, often associated with gods, heroes, and rulers. The concept of "ischuros" would resonate with early Christians who lived in a culture that esteemed physical prowess and authority. However, the New Testament often redefines true strength as spiritual and moral, aligning with the teachings of Jesus Christ, who exemplified strength through humility and sacrifice.
