Strong's Lexicon ópheleó: To benefit, to profit, to help Original Word: ὠφελέω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὄφελος (ophelos), meaning "advantage" or "profit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of benefit or profit is יָעַל (ya'al), Strong's Hebrew 3276, which means "to profit" or "to be of use." Usage: The verb ὠφελέω (ópheleó) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of providing benefit, profit, or help to someone. It often implies a tangible or spiritual advantage gained by an individual or group. The term can be used in both physical and metaphorical contexts, indicating either material gain or spiritual edification. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of benefit or profit was often associated with economic transactions and social relationships. The idea of mutual benefit was central to many aspects of life, including commerce, politics, and personal relationships. In the Jewish context, the notion of spiritual profit was also significant, as it related to one's standing before God and adherence to the Law.
