Strong's Lexicon exupnos: Awake, roused from sleep Original Word: ἐξυπνός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: exupnos Pronunciation: ex-oo'-pnos Phonetic Spelling: (ex'-oop-nos) Definition: roused out of sleep. Meaning: The term ἐξυπνός refers to the state of being awake or roused from sleep. It conveys the idea of awakening or being stirred from a state of slumber. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek), meaning "out of" or "from," and "ὕπνος" (hypnos), meaning "sleep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent concepts can be found in terms like עוּר (ʿur, Strong's Hebrew 5782), which means "to rouse oneself" or "to awaken," and קוּץ (quts, Strong's Hebrew 6974), which also means "to awake" or "to be aroused." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe both physical awakening and spiritual alertness, paralleling the Greek concept of ἐξυπνός. Usage: The word ἐξυπνός is used in contexts where an individual is physically awakened from sleep or metaphorically roused from a state of inactivity or unawareness. Context: The Greek term ἐξυπνός appears in the New Testament to describe both literal and figurative awakenings. In a literal sense, it is used to depict the act of waking up from physical sleep. This can be seen in narratives where individuals are roused from sleep to engage in significant actions or to receive divine messages. Metaphorically, ἐξυπνός is employed to illustrate spiritual awakening or enlightenment. It signifies a transition from a state of spiritual lethargy to one of alertness and readiness to respond to God's call. This awakening is often associated with repentance, renewal, and a heightened awareness of spiritual truths. The concept of awakening is a recurring theme in the New Testament, emphasizing the need for vigilance and preparedness in the Christian life. Believers are encouraged to remain spiritually awake, avoiding complacency and being ready for the return of Christ. While the Berean Standard Bible does not contain a direct translation of ἐξυπνός, the concept is reflected in passages that speak of spiritual alertness and readiness, such as Romans 13:11, which urges believers to "wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed."
