Strong's Lexicon paschó: To suffer, to endure Original Word: πάσχω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of suffering in the Old Testament is often expressed through words like עָנָה (anah - Strong's H6031), meaning to afflict or humble, and סָבַל (sabal - Strong's H5445), meaning to bear or endure. Usage: The Greek verb "paschó" primarily means to suffer or endure pain, hardship, or distress. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of physical suffering, persecution, or the trials faced by Jesus Christ and His followers. The term conveys a sense of enduring hardship with patience and faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, suffering was a common aspect of life, often associated with persecution, illness, or social injustice. For early Christians, suffering was not only a part of daily life but also a significant aspect of their faith journey. The New Testament frequently addresses the theme of suffering, emphasizing the redemptive and transformative power of enduring trials for the sake of Christ. The early church viewed suffering as a means of participating in the sufferings of Christ, leading to spiritual growth and deeper communion with God.
