Berean Strong's Lexicon hupopheró: To endure, to bear under, to suffer Original Word: ὑποφέρω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὑπό (hupo, meaning "under") and φέρω (pheró, meaning "to bear" or "to carry"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑποφέρω, the concept of enduring or bearing up under trials is reflected in Hebrew words such as סָבַל (sabal, Strong's H5445) meaning "to bear" or "to carry," and נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's H5375) meaning "to lift" or "to carry." Usage: The verb ὑποφέρω (hupopheró) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of enduring or bearing up under difficult circumstances or suffering. It implies a sense of perseverance and steadfastness in the face of trials or burdens. This term is often associated with the Christian call to endure hardships for the sake of faith and righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, endurance was a valued virtue, often associated with the strength and resilience required to face life's challenges. For early Christians, enduring suffering was not only a personal virtue but also a testimony to their faith in Christ. The concept of bearing up under trials was deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, who encouraged believers to remain steadfast in their faith despite persecution and adversity.
