Strong's Lexicon pathéma: Suffering, affliction, passion Original Word: πάθημα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: pathéma Pronunciation: pä'-thā-mä Phonetic Spelling: (path'-ay-mah) Definition: Suffering, affliction, passion Meaning: (a) suffering, affliction, (b) passion, emotion, (c) an undergoing, an enduring. Word Origin: Derived from πάσχω (paschō), meaning "to suffer" or "to experience." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "pathéma," the concept of suffering is present in words like עָנִי (ani, Strong's H6040) meaning "affliction" or "poverty," and צָרָה (tsarah, Strong's H6869) meaning "distress" or "trouble." Usage: The term "pathéma" refers to experiences of suffering, affliction, or hardship. In the New Testament, it often denotes the trials and tribulations faced by believers, particularly in the context of their faith in Christ. It can also refer to the sufferings of Christ Himself, which believers are called to share in as part of their spiritual journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, suffering was often seen as a part of the human condition, with philosophical schools like Stoicism teaching the endurance of pain and hardship as a virtue. In the Jewish context, suffering was sometimes viewed as a consequence of sin or a test of faith. The early Christian community, however, reinterpreted suffering through the lens of Christ's passion, seeing it as a means of participating in His redemptive work and a path to spiritual maturity. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 3804 páthēma (from 3958 /pásxō, "the capacity to feel strong emotion, like suffering") – properly, the capacity and privilege of experiencing strong feeling; felt, deep emotion, like agony, passion (ardent desire), suffering, etc. Under God, 3804 /páthēma ("strong feeling") is redemptive, preparing us to know the Lord better now and forever in glory (cf. Ro 8:18; Phil 3:10; 1 Pet 5:1). 3804 (páthēma) is not inherently negative; indeed, it is only negative when experienced outside of (apart from) faith. See 3958 (pasxō). [3804 /páthēma ("strong feeling") includes affliction (suffering), which should always (ideally) result in knowing God's glory – like going through difficulties (persecution, etc.) in faith. Note the -ma suffix, emphasizing the end-result (experiencing strong feeling).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from paschó Definition that which befalls one, i.e. a suffering, a passion NASB Translation passions (2), suffering (2), sufferings (12).
