Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the preposition ὑπό (hypo), meaning "under," and the verb μένω (menō), meaning "to remain" or "to stay."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of endurance and perseverance in the Hebrew Scriptures is often conveyed through words like חָכָה (chakah • to wait, to tarry) and סָבַל (sabal • to bear, to carry). While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, these Hebrew terms capture similar themes of waiting and enduring under pressure or difficulty.

Usage: The term ὑπομένω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of enduring or persevering through trials, challenges, or suffering. It conveys a sense of steadfastness and patience in the face of adversity.

Context: The Greek verb ὑπομένω appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the virtue of endurance and perseverance in the Christian life. It is often associated with the trials and tribulations that believers face and the call to remain faithful despite hardships.

In James 1:12, the term is used to describe the blessedness of those who endure trials: "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him." Here, ὑπομένω underscores the reward for steadfast faith.

In Romans 12:12, Paul exhorts believers to "Rejoice in hope, be patient in affliction, be persistent in prayer." The call to patience in affliction reflects the essence of ὑπομένω, encouraging believers to maintain their faith and hope amidst suffering.

Hebrews 12:1-2 uses the imagery of a race to illustrate the Christian journey, urging believers to "run with endurance the race set out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." The endurance (ὑπομένω) required in this race is a central theme, highlighting the need for perseverance in the pursuit of spiritual maturity.

The concept of ὑπομένω is not merely passive resignation but an active, hopeful endurance that trusts in God's promises and purposes. It is a key aspect of the Christian character, reflecting a deep reliance on God's strength and faithfulness.
