Usage: The word "πόλεμος" is used in the New Testament to describe various forms of conflict, both earthly and spiritual. It appears in contexts that discuss the nature of human strife, the spiritual battles faced by believers, and the eschatological conflicts described in prophetic literature. Context: The term "πόλεμος" is a significant concept in the New Testament, reflecting the pervasive reality of conflict in the human experience and the spiritual realm. In the Berean Standard Bible, "πόλεμος" is used to describe both physical and spiritual battles. For instance, in James 4:1, it is written, "What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?" Here, "πόλεμος" is used metaphorically to describe internal strife and moral conflict.
