Strong's Lexicon gennéma: Offspring, produce, fruit Original Word: γέννημα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: gennéma Pronunciation: ghen'-nay-mah Phonetic Spelling: (ghen'-nay-mah) Definition: offspring, child, fruit. Meaning: The term γέννημα refers to that which is produced or brought forth, often translated as "offspring," "fruit," or "produce." Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb γεννάω (gennáō), meaning "to beget" or "to bring forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of γέννημα in the Greek New Testament can be related to several Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings of produce or offspring. Some corresponding Hebrew entries include: • Strong's Hebrew 6529 (פְּרִי, peri): Often translated as "fruit," referring to produce or offspring. • Strong's Hebrew 2233 (זֶרַע, zera): Meaning "seed" or "offspring," used to denote descendants or produce. • Strong's Hebrew 8393 (תְּבוּאָה, tebuah): Referring to "produce" or "yield," often in an agricultural context. These Hebrew terms, like γέννημα, emphasize the results or outcomes of what is sown, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense. Usage: The word γέννημα is used in the New Testament to describe both literal and metaphorical offspring or produce. It can refer to physical fruit or produce from the earth, as well as metaphorical fruit, such as the results of one's actions or character. Context: The Greek term γέννημα appears in several New Testament passages, often conveying the idea of something that is produced or brought forth. In a literal sense, it can refer to agricultural produce, as seen in Matthew 26:29, where Jesus speaks of the "fruit of the vine." In a metaphorical sense, γέννημα is used to describe the outcomes or results of human behavior and character. For example, in Matthew 3:7 and 12:34, John the Baptist and Jesus respectively use the term to describe the Pharisees as a "brood of vipers," indicating the corrupt nature and actions that stem from their character. The term is also used in contexts that emphasize the moral and spiritual implications of one's actions. In Matthew 7:16, Jesus teaches that one can recognize people by their "fruit," using γέννημα to illustrate the visible outcomes of a person's inner nature. This usage underscores the biblical principle that true character and faith are evidenced by one's actions and the "fruit" they produce. The concept of γέννημα aligns with the broader biblical theme of sowing and reaping, where the nature of what is sown determines the nature of what is reaped. This principle is evident in both the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing the importance of righteous living and the consequences of one's actions.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1081: γένημα γένημα, γενήματος, τό (from γίνομαι), a form supported by the best manuscripts in Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 12:18; Luke 22:18; 2 Corinthians 9:10, and therefore adopted by T (see his Proleg., p. 79) Tr (L WH (see WH's Appendix, p. 148 and below)), printed by Griesbach only in Luke 12:18; 2 Corinthians 9:10, but given by no grammarian, and therefore attributed by Fritzsche (on Mark, p. 619f) to the carelessness of transcribers — for Rec. (but in Luke, the passage cited Rst reads γενημ.) γέννημα, which see In Mark 14:25 Lachmann has retained the common reading; (and in Luke 12:18 Tr text WH have σῖτον. In Ezekiel 36:30 manuscripts A B read γενήματα). STRONGS NT 1081: γέννημα γέννημα, γεννήματος, τό (from γεννάω), that which has been begotten or born; a. as in the earlier Greek writings from Sophocles down, the offspring, progeny, of men or of animals: ἐχιδνῶν, Matthew 3:7; Matthew 12:34; Matthew 23:33; Luke 3:7; (γυναικῶν, Sir. 10:18). b. from Polybius (1, 71, 1 etc.) on (cf. Winers Grammar, 23), the fruits of the earth, products of agriculture (in the Sept. often γεννήματα τῆς γῆς): Luke 12:18 (where Tr (txt. WH) τόν σῖτον); τῆς ἀμπέλου, Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 286. Metaphorically, fruit, reward, profit: τῆς δικαιοσύνης, 2 Corinthians 9:10 (Hosea 10:12; τῆς σοφίας, Sir. 1:17 Sir. 6:19). Further, see γένημα.
