Strong's Lexicon agrupnia: Vigilance, wakefulness, watchfulness Original Word: ἀγρυπνία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: agrupnia Pronunciation: ah-groop-NEE-ah Phonetic Spelling: (ag-roop-nee'-ah) Definition: the state of being awake (at night), sleeplessness, watching. Meaning: The term ἀγρυπνία refers to wakefulness, vigilance, or a state of being watchful, often implying a deliberate choice to remain awake for a purpose, such as prayer or spiritual alertness. Word Origin: Derived from ἀγρυπνέω (agrypneō), meaning "to be sleepless" or "to keep awake." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀγρυπνία, the concept of watchfulness and vigilance can be related to Hebrew terms such as שָׁקַד (shaqad, Strong's 8245), meaning "to watch" or "to be alert," and שָׁמַר (shamar, Strong's 8104), meaning "to keep" or "to guard." These terms convey similar ideas of attentiveness and readiness in a spiritual context. Usage: The word ἀγρυπνία is used in the New Testament to describe a state of spiritual vigilance and alertness, often in the context of prayer or preparation for spiritual challenges. Context: The Greek term ἀγρυπνία appears in the New Testament as an exhortation to maintain spiritual vigilance. It is closely associated with the practice of prayer and the readiness to face spiritual trials. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀγρυπνία is used in contexts that emphasize the importance of staying spiritually alert and prepared. For instance, in 2 Corinthians 6:5, Paul lists ἀγρυπνία among the hardships he endures for the sake of the Gospel, highlighting the dedication and perseverance required in his ministry. Similarly, in 2 Corinthians 11:27, Paul again mentions ἀγρυπνία as part of his sufferings, underscoring the continuous effort and watchfulness necessary in his apostolic work. The concept of ἀγρυπνία is integral to the Christian life, encouraging believers to remain spiritually awake and attentive to God's will, resisting complacency and spiritual slumber.
