Strong's Lexicon emoi: to me, for me Original Word: ἐμοί Part of Speech: Pronoun Transliteration: emoi Pronunciation: eh-MOY Phonetic Spelling: (em-oy') Definition: I, me, mine, my Meaning: The term ἐμοί is used to denote "to me" or "for me," indicating possession, interest, or relation to the speaker. Word Origin: The word ἐμοί is the dative singular form of the first-person pronoun ἐγώ (egō), which means "I" or "me." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew pronouns, the Hebrew equivalent for expressing "to me" or "for me" is often the prepositional phrase לִי (li), derived from the pronoun אֲנִי (ani) or אָנֹכִי (anoki), meaning "I" or "me." These Hebrew forms are used similarly in the Old Testament to denote personal possession or interest. Usage: In the New Testament, ἐμοί is used to express personal involvement or possession, often in the context of Jesus speaking about His relationship with the Father, His followers, or His mission. It appears in various contexts, including expressions of personal commitment, divine relationship, and the conveyance of messages or actions directed towards the speaker. Context: The Greek pronoun ἐμοί is a dative singular form used extensively in the New Testament to convey a sense of personal possession or interest. It is often found in the teachings of Jesus, where He emphasizes His unique relationship with God the Father and His followers. For example, in John 14:6, Jesus states, "No one comes to the Father except through Me," highlighting the exclusive path to God through Him. The use of ἐμοί in such contexts underscores the personal and relational aspects of faith and discipleship. In the Pauline epistles, ἐμοί is used to express the apostle's personal experiences and revelations. For instance, in Philippians 1:21, Paul writes, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain," illustrating his deep personal commitment to Christ and the transformative impact of his faith. The dative form ἐμοί is also employed in parables and teachings to illustrate the personal nature of God's kingdom and the intimate relationship between God and believers. It serves as a linguistic tool to draw readers into a deeper understanding of the personal implications of the Gospel message.
