Strong's Concordance stenochória: narrowness of space, fig. difficulty Original Word: στενοχωρία, ας, ἡPart of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: stenochória Phonetic Spelling: (sten-okh-o-ree'-ah) Definition: narrowness of space, difficulty Usage: a narrow space, great distress, anguish. HELPS Word-studies 4730 stenoxōría (from 4728 /stenós, "narrow, confined" and 5561 /xṓra, "space, territory, area") – properly, a narrow place; (figuratively) a difficult circumstance – which God always authorized and hence only produces a temporal sense of confinement. Through Christ's inworking of faith (4102 /pístis, "divine persuasion"), internal distress (sense of pressure, anguish) is ironically the way He shows His limitless work – in our "limitations"! [Ro 2:9 however uses 4730 (stenoxōría) for negative confinements (inner distress), that result from living outside of God's will.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom stenos and chóros (space) Definition narrowness of space, fig. difficulty NASB Translation difficulties (1), distress (2), distresses (1).
