Strong's Lexicon sómatikos: Bodily, corporeal Original Word: σωματικός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: sómatikos Pronunciation: so-mat-ee-kos' Phonetic Spelling: (so-mat-ee-kos') Definition: Bodily, corporeal Meaning: bodily, corporeal. Word Origin: Derived from σῶμα (sōma), meaning "body." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sómatikos," the concept of the body is often expressed in Hebrew through words like בָּשָׂר (basar), meaning "flesh," which can denote the physical aspect of humanity. Usage: The term "sómatikos" refers to anything pertaining to the body or having a physical, corporeal nature. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical aspects or manifestations, often in contrast to spiritual or non-physical elements. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of the body (σῶμα) was significant in philosophical discussions, particularly in contrast to the soul (ψυχή, psychē). The body was often seen as the temporary, physical vessel for the soul, which was considered eternal. This dualistic view influenced early Christian thought, where the physical and spiritual were often contrasted, yet both were acknowledged as important in the holistic understanding of human nature.
