Meaning: To empower, to strengthen, to make strong. Word Origin: Derived from ἐν (en, "in") and δύναμις (dynamis, "power" or "strength"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H2388 חָזַק (chazaq): To be strong, to strengthen, to prevail. • H553 אָמֵץ (amats): To be strong, alert, courageous, brave, stout, bold, solid, hard. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of strength and empowerment, often in the context of divine assistance or encouragement. They are used throughout the Old Testament to describe the strengthening of individuals or nations by God, paralleling the New Testament usage of ἐνδυναμόω. Usage: The verb ἐνδυναμόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being strengthened or empowered, often in a spiritual or moral sense. It conveys the idea of receiving strength or power from an external source, typically God or the Holy Spirit. Context: The term ἐνδυναμόω appears in several key passages within the New Testament, emphasizing the divine empowerment of believers. It is often used in contexts where spiritual strength is necessary to endure trials, perform ministry, or live a life pleasing to God. • Ephesians 6:10: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." Here, ἐνδυναμόω is a call to believers to draw their strength from the Lord, highlighting the necessity of divine empowerment in spiritual warfare. • Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." This verse underscores the personal empowerment that comes through Christ, enabling believers to face all circumstances. • 2 Timothy 2:1: "You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." Paul encourages Timothy to find his strength in the grace provided by Christ, suggesting that spiritual empowerment is rooted in divine grace. • Hebrews 11:34: "quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies." This passage reflects the transformative power of faith, where human weakness is turned into strength through divine intervention. The concept of ἐνδυναμόω is central to the Christian understanding of living a life empowered by God. It is not merely about human effort but about reliance on God's power to accomplish His purposes. This empowerment is often linked with the presence of the Holy Spirit, who equips and strengthens believers for service and endurance.
