Strong's Lexicon andrizó: To act like a man, to be courageous Original Word: ἀνδρίζομαι Word Origin: Derived from ἀνήρ (anēr), meaning "man" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 2388: חָזַק (chazaq) – to be strong, to strengthen, to be courageous Usage: The verb "andrizó" is used to exhort individuals to exhibit courage and strength, often in the face of adversity or challenge. It implies a call to maturity and bravery, encouraging believers to stand firm in their faith and convictions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "acting like a man" was associated with virtues such as bravery, strength, and honor. These qualities were highly esteemed in both military and civic life. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used metaphorically to encourage spiritual fortitude and resilience among believers, drawing on the cultural understanding of manliness as a model for spiritual maturity. HELPS Word-studies 407 andrízomai (from 435 /anḗr, "man") – properly, "to act as a man," i.e. as a full-grown, mature man; (figuratively) to be responsible and courageous by taking the initiatives God reveals through faith (used only in 1 Cor 16:13). Accordingly, 407 (andrízomai) is directly associated with 4102 /pístis ("faith").
