Strong's Lexicon emautou: myself Original Word: ἐμαυτοῦ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words ἐγώ (egō, "I") and αὐτός (autos, "self"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek reflexive pronoun ἐμαυτοῦ, similar concepts of self-reference and personal responsibility can be found in Hebrew pronouns like אָנֹכִי (anoki, "I") and נַפְשִׁי (nafshi, "my soul" or "myself"). Usage: The Greek pronoun ἐμαυτοῦ is used to express the reflexive action of the subject upon itself, typically translated as "myself" in English. It emphasizes the personal involvement or responsibility of the speaker in the action described. This pronoun is used to highlight self-reference and is often employed in contexts where the speaker is making a personal declaration or commitment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of self and personal identity was significant, especially in philosophical discussions. The use of reflexive pronouns like ἐμαυτοῦ in the New Testament reflects a personal and introspective dimension of the speaker's relationship with God and others. This self-reference can denote humility, responsibility, or personal testimony, aligning with the broader cultural emphasis on individual agency and accountability.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1683: ἐμαυτοῦἐμαυτοῦ, ἐμαυτης, ἐμαυτοῦ (from ἐμοῦ and αὐτοῦ, reflexive pronoun of 1st person, of myself, used only in the genitive, dative, and accusative singular (cf. Buttmann, 110ff (96ff)): ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ, see ἀπό, II. 2 d. aa.; ὑπ' ἐμαυτόν, under my control, Matthew 8:9; Luke 7:8; ἐμαυτόν, myself, as opposed to Christ, the supposed minister of sin (Luke 7:17), Galatians 2:18; tacitly opposed to an animal offered in sacrifice, John 17:19; negligently for αὐτός ἐμέ, 1 Corinthians 4:3 (yet cf. Meyer at the passage). As in Greek writers (Matthiae, § 148 Anm. 2, i., p. 354; Passow, under the word, p. 883), its force is sometimes so weakened that it scarcely differs from the simple person pronoun of the first person (yet denied by Meyer), as John 12:32; John 14:21; Philemon 1:13.
