Strong's Lexicon pathéma: Suffering, affliction, passion Original Word: πάθημα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: pathéma Pronunciation: pä'-thā-mä Phonetic Spelling: (path'-ay-mah) Definition: (a) suffering, affliction, (b) passion, emotion, (c) an undergoing, an enduring. Meaning: The term "πάθημα" refers to that which is suffered or endured, encompassing the ideas of suffering, affliction, or hardship. It can denote both physical and emotional experiences of suffering. Word Origin: Derived from πάσχω (páschō), meaning "to suffer" or "to experience." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "πάθημα," the concept of suffering is prevalent in the Old Testament. Some corresponding Hebrew terms include: • עָנִי (ani) • often translated as "affliction" or "poverty." • צָרָה (tsarah) • meaning "distress" or "trouble." • יָגוֹן (yagon) • translated as "grief" or "sorrow." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of suffering and affliction, paralleling the New Testament understanding of "πάθημα" as experiences that test and refine the faith of God's people. Usage: The word "πάθημα" is used in the New Testament to describe the sufferings or afflictions that believers endure, often in the context of sharing in the sufferings of Christ. It appears in various passages to highlight the trials faced by Christians and the redemptive purpose of such experiences. Context: The term "πάθημα" is significant in the New Testament, where it is often associated with the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent sufferings of His followers. In Romans 8:18, Paul writes, "I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us." Here, "πάθημα" underscores the temporary nature of earthly afflictions in contrast to the eternal glory awaiting believers. In 2 Corinthians 1:5, Paul states, "For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." This passage highlights the concept of shared suffering with Christ, suggesting that believers participate in His sufferings, which in turn leads to divine comfort and consolation. The apostle Peter also addresses the theme of suffering in 1 Peter 4:13: "But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory." Here, "πάθημα" is presented as a cause for rejoicing, as it aligns believers with Christ and promises future joy and glory. Theologically, "πάθημα" is understood as an integral part of the Christian experience, serving as a means of spiritual growth and a testament to one's faith. It is through enduring these sufferings that believers are conformed to the image of Christ and are able to witness to the transformative power of the Gospel. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 3804 páthēma (from 3958 /pásxō, "the capacity to feel strong emotion, like suffering") – properly, the capacity and privilege of experiencing strong feeling; felt, deep emotion, like agony, passion (ardent desire), suffering, etc. Under God, 3804 /páthēma ("strong feeling") is redemptive, preparing us to know the Lord better now and forever in glory (cf. Ro 8:18; Phil 3:10; 1 Pet 5:1). 3804 (páthēma) is not inherently negative; indeed, it is only negative when experienced outside of (apart from) faith. See 3958 (pasxō). [3804 /páthēma ("strong feeling") includes affliction (suffering), which should always (ideally) result in knowing God's glory – like going through difficulties (persecution, etc.) in faith. Note the -ma suffix, emphasizing the end-result (experiencing strong feeling).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from paschó Definition that which befalls one, i.e. a suffering, a passion NASB Translation passions (2), suffering (2), sufferings (12).
