Strong's Lexicon diagó: To lead through, to pass through, to spend time Original Word: διαγώ Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and the verb ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαγώ, the concept of "passing through" or "spending time" can be related to Hebrew verbs like עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), which means "to pass over" or "to go through." Usage: The verb διαγώ primarily conveys the idea of leading or passing through a period of time or an experience. It can imply enduring or spending time in a particular state or condition. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts that describe the passage of time or the conduct of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of time and how one spends it was significant, often associated with one's conduct and moral standing. The verb διαγώ would have been understood in terms of how individuals navigate their lives, particularly in relation to societal and religious expectations. The idea of "passing through" life with integrity and purpose was a common philosophical theme.
