Word Origin: Derived from two Greek words: μέτριος (metrios), meaning "moderate" or "temperate," and πάθος (pathos), meaning "suffering" or "passion."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μετριοπαθής, the concept of moderation and self-control can be related to several Hebrew terms that convey similar ideas, such as:
• H4307 (מַשְׁמָע, mashma'): Meaning "obedience" or "hearing," often associated with the idea of listening and responding appropriately, which requires self-control.
• H7307 (רוּחַ, ruach): Meaning "spirit" or "breath," which in certain contexts can refer to the disposition or temperament of a person, including the aspect of self-control (Proverbs 16:32).

The virtue of μετριοπαθής, though not explicitly named in the biblical text, is integral to the Christian ethical framework, encouraging believers to embody a life of balance, restraint, and thoughtful engagement with their emotions and actions.

Usage: Although μετριοπαθής is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of moderation and self-control is a recurring theme in the New Testament, especially in the context of Christian virtues and leadership qualities.

Context: The concept encapsulated by μετριοπαθής is significant in understanding the character and behavior expected of believers, particularly leaders within the early Christian community. The idea of moderation and self-control is echoed in various New Testament passages that emphasize the importance of temperance as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and a qualification for overseers and deacons (1 Timothy 3:2-3, Titus 1:7-8). The virtue of μετριοπαθής aligns with the broader biblical teaching on humility, patience, and gentleness, which are essential for maintaining unity and peace within the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:2-3). This balanced approach to emotions and passions is also reflective of the wisdom literature in the Old Testament, which often extols the virtues of self-control and moderation (Proverbs 25:28).
