Strong's Lexicon Klémés: Clement Original Word: Κλήμης Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: Klémés Pronunciation: klay-mace' Phonetic Spelling: (klay'-mace) Definition: Clement, a fellow-worker of Paul in Rome. Meaning: The name "Clement," which means "mild" or "merciful." Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word κλῆμα (klēma), meaning "branch" or "twig." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Κλήμης, as it is a personal name of Greek origin. However, the concept of being "mild" or "merciful" can be related to Hebrew words such as חֶסֶד (chesed), meaning "loving-kindness" or "mercy." Usage: The name Κλήμης appears in the New Testament as a personal name. It is specifically mentioned in the context of early Christian fellowship and leadership. Context: Κλήμης, or Clement, is referenced in the New Testament in Philippians 4:3. The Apostle Paul mentions Clement as a fellow worker whose name is in the Book of Life. This indicates that Clement was a significant figure in the early Christian community, likely involved in ministry and the spread of the Gospel. The passage reads: "Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, to help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life" (Philippians 4:3, BSB). Clement's mention alongside other co-laborers suggests he was a respected member of the church at Philippi or possibly another early Christian community. Some early Christian traditions identify him with Clement of Rome, an early church father and author of the epistle known as 1 Clement, although this identification is not definitively established in the biblical text. The reference to Clement in Philippians highlights the collaborative nature of early Christian ministry and the importance of community and mutual support among believers. Clement's inclusion in the "book of life" underscores the assurance of salvation and eternal life for those who faithfully serve in the work of the Gospel.
