◄ 1110. gnóstos ►
Strong's Lexicon gnóstos: Known, well-known, notable Original Word: γνωστός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: gnóstos Pronunciation: gno-STOS Phonetic Spelling: (gnoce-tos') Definition: known, an acquaintance. Meaning: Known, well-known, notable, or familiar. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb γινώσκω (ginōskō), meaning "to know." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek γνωστός does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, but it shares conceptual similarities with Hebrew words that convey knowledge or recognition. Some corresponding Hebrew entries include: • Strong's Hebrew 3045 (יָדַע, yada): To know, to perceive, to recognize. • Strong's Hebrew 5234 (נָכַר, nakar): To recognize, to acknowledge, to regard. These Hebrew terms, like γνωστός, involve the concept of knowledge and recognition, whether through personal acquaintance or divine revelation. Usage: The term γνωστός is used in the New Testament to describe something or someone that is known or recognized. It often refers to information or individuals that are familiar or have been made known to others. Context: The Greek word γνωστός appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of being known or recognized. It is used in various contexts to describe both people and concepts that are familiar or have been revealed. The term emphasizes the state of being known, either through personal acquaintance or through revelation. In the Berean Standard Bible, γνωστός is used in passages such as Acts 1:19, where it describes the field purchased with the reward of Judas's betrayal: "This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood." Here, γνωστός underscores the widespread recognition of the event among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Another example is found in Romans 1:19, where Paul speaks of the knowledge of God being evident to humanity: "For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them." In this context, γνωστός refers to the clear and evident knowledge of God that is accessible to all people through His creation. The use of γνωστός in the New Testament often highlights the accessibility and clarity of certain truths or events, making them recognizable and understandable to those who encounter them. It underscores the concept of revelation, where knowledge is made apparent and accessible.
