Strong's Lexicon oninémi: To profit, benefit, help Original Word: ὀνίνημι Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὀνίνημι, the concept of benefiting or profiting can be related to Hebrew words like יָעַל (ya'al, Strong's H3276), which means to profit or benefit. Usage: The Greek verb ὀνίνημι (oninémi) is used to convey the idea of benefiting or profiting from something. It implies a positive gain or advantage, often in a moral or spiritual sense. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of being helped or receiving a benefit, particularly in the context of relationships and spiritual growth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of benefiting or profiting was often associated with material gain or advantage. However, in the New Testament, the term takes on a more spiritual and relational dimension. The early Christian community emphasized mutual support and edification, reflecting the teachings of Jesus about serving and benefiting one another in love.
