Berean Strong's Lexicon huparxis: Existence, being, substance, property Original Word: ὕπαρξις Word Origin: Derived from the verb ὑπάρχω (huparchō), meaning "to exist" or "to be present." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huparxis," the concept of possessions or property can be related to Hebrew terms such as יְרֻשָּׁה (yerushah, Strong's H3425) meaning "possession" or "inheritance." Usage: The term "huparxis" refers to the state of being or existence, often implying one's possessions or property. It conveys the idea of what one has as part of their existence or being. In the New Testament, it is used to denote material possessions or wealth, emphasizing the tangible aspects of one's life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "huparxis" would have been understood in the context of one's social and economic status. Property and possessions were significant indicators of wealth and influence. The early Christian community, however, often emphasized spiritual wealth over material possessions, reflecting a counter-cultural perspective that valued eternal treasures over temporal ones.
