Strong's Lexicon panoikei: with all his household Original Word: πανοικεὶ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "πᾶς" (pas), meaning "all" or "every," and "οἶκος" (oikos), meaning "house" or "household." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "panoikei," the concept of household or family is often represented by the Hebrew word "בַּיִת" (bayit), Strong's Hebrew #1004, which also means house or household. Usage: The adverb "panoikei" is used to describe an action or event that involves an entire household. It emphasizes the collective participation or experience of all members within a family unit. In the New Testament, it often highlights the communal aspect of faith and salvation, where the decision or experience of one family member impacts the entire household. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the household (oikos) was a fundamental social unit, often including extended family, servants, and sometimes even business associates. The concept of household salvation reflects the interconnectedness of family members and their shared life experiences. In a patriarchal society, the head of the household's decisions, including religious ones, typically influenced the entire family. This cultural context underscores the significance of household conversions in the early Christian movement.
