Strong's Lexicon phaneros: Manifest, evident, clear, visible Original Word: φανερός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb φαίνω (phaino), meaning "to shine" or "to make visible." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is גָּלָה (galah), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover." Usage: The Greek adjective "phaneros" is used to describe something that is apparent, visible, or clearly seen. It often refers to things that are made known or revealed, either in a physical or metaphorical sense. In the New Testament, "phaneros" is used to describe the manifestation of God's truth, the visibility of good works, or the evident nature of certain spiritual realities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, visibility and revelation were important concepts, often associated with divine or philosophical truths. The idea of something being "manifest" carried the connotation of being undeniable or self-evident. In the context of early Christianity, the use of "phaneros" would resonate with the understanding that God's truth and the reality of Christ's work were not hidden but openly displayed for all to see.
