Strong's Lexicon homoiopathés: Of like nature, similar in experience or feelings Original Word: ὁμοιοπαθής Word Origin: Derived from two Greek words: ὁμοῖος (homoios, meaning "like" or "similar") and πάθος (pathos, meaning "suffering" or "passion"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "homoiopathés," the concept of shared human experience can be seen in Hebrew words like אָדָם (adam, meaning "man" or "mankind") which emphasizes the commonality of human nature. Usage: The term "homoiopathés" is used to describe someone who shares similar experiences, feelings, or nature with others. It emphasizes commonality in human experiences, particularly in suffering or emotional states. In the New Testament, it is used to highlight the shared human condition, even among those who are considered spiritually significant or authoritative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of shared human experiences was significant in philosophical and rhetorical discussions. The idea that all humans, regardless of status or role, share common experiences and emotions was a way to foster empathy and understanding. This concept is reflected in the New Testament to remind believers of the shared human condition, even among prophets and apostles.
