Original Word:ἐνδείκνυμι
Part of Speech:Verb
Transliteration:endeiknumi
Pronunciation:en-DAYK-noo-mee
Phonetic Spelling:(en-dike'-noo-mee)
Definition:To show, to demonstrate, to indicate
Meaning:I show forth, prove.
Word Origin:From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "on") and "δείκνυμι" (deiknumi, meaning "to show" or "to point out").
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "endeiknumi," the concept of demonstrating or showing is present in Hebrew words like "נָגַד" (nagad, Strong's H5046), meaning "to declare" or "to make known."
Usage:The verb "endeiknumi" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of demonstrating or showing something clearly. It often implies a visible or evident demonstration of a quality, action, or truth. This term is used to describe how God's attributes, such as His power and wrath, are made evident, as well as how believers are to demonstrate their faith through actions.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, demonstration and evidence were crucial in both legal and philosophical contexts. The ability to show or prove something was highly valued, whether in a court of law or in philosophical discourse. In the New Testament, this concept is applied to the demonstration of spiritual truths and moral qualities, reflecting the importance of visible evidence of one's beliefs and character.
HELPS Word-studies
1731endeíknymi (from1722/en "in," which intensifies1166/deiknýō, "show") – properly, to make fully evident, showingconspicuous proof which demonstrates something asundeniable. The prefix1722 (en) adds the dimension of "abidingcondition" making the "showing forth" on "open display" for all to see, i.e.obvious so "no one could miss it."
1731/endeíknymi ("undeniably display") always occurs in the Greekmiddle voice which underlines the high level of personal interest shown by the one making somethingvery evident.
[Such displaying then is alwaysdone with high personal involvement and sense of advantage.]
