Strong's Lexicon hupomenó: To endure, to persevere, to remain steadfast Original Word: ὑπομένω Word Origin: From the preposition ὑπό (hupo, meaning "under") and the verb μένω (menó, meaning "to remain" or "to stay"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of endurance is חָכָה (chakah, Strong's H2442), which means to wait or to tarry, and סָבַל (sabal, Strong's H5445), meaning to bear or to endure. Usage: The Greek verb ὑπομένω (hupomenó) conveys the idea of enduring or remaining steadfast under pressure or trials. It implies a sense of perseverance and patience, often in the face of adversity or suffering. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe the endurance of believers in their faith journey, as well as the endurance of Christ Himself. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, endurance was considered a virtue, especially in the context of athletic competitions and military service. The concept of ὑπομένω would have resonated with early Christians who faced persecution and trials for their faith. The ability to endure was seen as a testament to one's character and commitment, both in secular and religious contexts.
