Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for φανέρωσις, similar concepts of revelation and manifestation can be found in Hebrew words such as גִּלּוּי (gilluy, Strong's Hebrew 1540) meaning "revelation" or "uncovering," and נִגְלָה (niglah, Strong's Hebrew 1540) meaning "to be revealed" or "to be made known." These terms convey the idea of making something visible or known, akin to the Greek concept of φανέρωσις. Usage: The word φανέρωσις is used in the New Testament to describe the manifestation of spiritual gifts, the revelation of divine truth, or the visible expression of God's power and presence. Context: • Contextual Overview: In the New Testament, φανέρωσις is often associated with the manifestation of spiritual gifts within the Christian community. It emphasizes the idea that these gifts are given for the common good and are a visible demonstration of the Holy Spirit's work among believers. • Scriptural References: One of the key passages where φανέρωσις is used is 1 Corinthians 12:7: "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." (BSB) Here, the term underscores the purpose of spiritual gifts as a means of edifying the church and making the presence of the Holy Spirit evident. • Theological Significance: The concept of φανέρωσις highlights the importance of spiritual gifts as a tangible expression of God's grace and power. It serves as a reminder that these gifts are not for personal glory but for the benefit of the entire body of Christ. The manifestation of the Spirit through various gifts is a testament to the diversity and unity within the church, reflecting the multifaceted nature of God's work in the world. • Practical Application: Believers are encouraged to recognize and utilize their spiritual gifts, understanding that each manifestation is a unique contribution to the church's mission. The awareness of φανέρωσις calls Christians to be attentive to the ways in which God reveals His presence and purposes through their lives and the lives of others.
