Strong's Lexicon hupechó: To endure, to undergo, to suffer Original Word: ὑπέχω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὑπό (hypo, meaning "under") and ἔχω (echo, meaning "to have" or "to hold"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hupechó," the concept of enduring or bearing up under trials is present in the Hebrew Scriptures. For example, the Hebrew word סָבַל (sabal, Strong's H5445) conveys a similar idea of bearing or carrying a burden. Usage: The verb "hupechó" is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of enduring or undergoing something, often with a sense of suffering or bearing up under a burden. It implies a steadfastness or perseverance in the face of trials or difficulties. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, endurance was a valued trait, often associated with the virtues of courage and perseverance. The early Christian community, facing persecution and hardship, would have understood "hupechó" as a call to remain faithful and steadfast in their faith despite external pressures. This concept aligns with the broader biblical theme of enduring trials as a means of spiritual growth and maturity.
