Strong's Lexicon peismoné: Persuasion, obstinacy Original Word: πεισμονή Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: peismoné Pronunciation: pays-mo-NAY Phonetic Spelling: (pice-mon-ay') Definition: persuasion, conviction, a yielding to persuasion. Meaning: The term πεισμονή refers to a state of being persuaded or a condition of being convinced. It can also imply an obstinate persuasion or a firm conviction. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πείθω (peithō), meaning "to persuade" or "to convince." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πεισμονή, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe stubbornness or obstinacy, such as סָרַר (sarar, Strong's Hebrew 5637) which means "to be stubborn" or "to be rebellious," and קָשָׁה (qashah, Strong's Hebrew 7185) which means "to be hard" or "to be difficult." These terms similarly convey the idea of resistance to persuasion or correction, aligning with the New Testament usage of πεισμονή. Usage: The word πεισμονή is used in the New Testament to describe a state of persuasion or conviction, often in a context where such persuasion is seen as negative or stubborn. Context: The Greek term πεισμονή appears in the New Testament in contexts that highlight the nature of human conviction and persuasion. It is often associated with a sense of obstinacy or stubbornness, where an individual is so convinced of their own perspective that they resist other viewpoints or divine guidance. This term underscores the tension between human will and divine instruction, illustrating how personal conviction can sometimes lead to resistance against spiritual truths. In the Berean Standard Bible, πεισμονή is used to describe situations where individuals are so entrenched in their beliefs that they become resistant to change or correction. This reflects a broader biblical theme of the dangers of hard-heartedness and the importance of remaining open to divine wisdom and correction. The concept of πεισμονή serves as a caution against the perils of self-assuredness that is not grounded in divine truth. It encourages believers to examine their convictions and remain receptive to the transformative power of God's word.
