◄ 1538. hekastos ►
Strong's Lexicon hekastos: each, every, every one Original Word: ἕκαστος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: hekastos Pronunciation: heh-KAS-tos Phonetic Spelling: (hek'-as-tos) Definition: each (of more than two), every one. Meaning: Each, every, each one, every one. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἕκας (hekás), meaning "far" or "distant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of individuality and personal responsibility found in ἕκαστος can be related to several Hebrew terms, though there is no direct equivalent. Some corresponding ideas can be found in Hebrew words like אִישׁ (ish, Strong's 376), meaning "man" or "individual," and כָּל (kol, Strong's 3605), meaning "all" or "every," which can convey a similar sense of each or every one within a group. Usage: The term ἕκαστος is used in the New Testament to denote individuality within a group, emphasizing each member or part of a collective. It is often translated as "each" or "every" in English. Context: The Greek word ἕκαστος appears frequently in the New Testament, underscoring the importance of individual responsibility and action within the Christian community. It is used to highlight the personal nature of faith, duty, and accountability. For instance, in 1 Corinthians 3:8, Paul writes, "He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor." Here, ἕκαστος emphasizes that each person will receive a reward based on their individual efforts and contributions to God's work. In the context of spiritual gifts, 1 Corinthians 12:7 states, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." This usage of ἕκαστος highlights the distribution of spiritual gifts to each believer, underscoring the diversity and unity within the body of Christ. The word also appears in ethical teachings, such as in Galatians 6:5, "For each one should carry his own load." This passage uses ἕκαστος to stress personal responsibility in the Christian life, encouraging believers to take ownership of their actions and burdens. Theologically, ἕκαστος serves to remind believers of their unique role and responsibility before God, while also affirming the collective identity and mission of the church. It calls for personal engagement and accountability, while also fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
