Strong's Lexicon dunatos: Powerful, mighty, able, possible Original Word: δυνατός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: dunatos Pronunciation: doo-nat-os' Phonetic Spelling: (doo-nat-os') Definition: Powerful, mighty, able, possible Meaning: (a) of persons: powerful, able, (b) of things: possible. Word Origin: From the Greek verb δύναμαι (dunamai), meaning "to be able" or "to have power." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is גִּבּוֹר (gibbor), meaning "mighty" or "strong," as seen in passages like Isaiah 9:6, referring to the "Mighty God." Usage: The Greek adjective "dunatos" is used to describe someone or something that possesses power, strength, or ability. It can refer to physical strength, capability, or the potential to accomplish something. In the New Testament, it often describes God's omnipotence, the power of faith, or the capability of individuals empowered by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, power and strength were highly valued traits, often associated with gods, rulers, and heroes. The concept of "dunatos" would resonate with early Christians as they contrasted the power of God with the temporal power of earthly authorities. The term also reflects the early Christian understanding of divine empowerment, where believers are enabled by the Holy Spirit to live out their faith.
