Strong's Lexicon
anechó: To endure, to bear with, to tolerate, to hold up
Original Word:ἀνέχω
Part of Speech:Verb
Transliteration:anechó
Pronunciation:ä-ne'-khō
Phonetic Spelling:(an-ekh'-om-ahee)
Definition:To endure, to bear with, to tolerate, to hold up
Meaning:I endure, bear with, have patience with, suffer, admit, persist.
Word Origin:From the Greek preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb ἔχω (echo, meaning "to have" or "to hold").
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The concept of enduring or bearing with others can be related to several Hebrew words, such as סָבַל (sabal, Strong's H5445), which means to bear or carry, and נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's H5375), meaning to lift, carry, or bear.
Usage:The verb "anechó" primarily conveys the idea of enduring or bearing with something or someone. It implies a sense of patience and forbearance, often in the face of difficulties or provocations. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the attitude of believers who are called to endure hardships, tolerate weaknesses, and bear with one another in love.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, endurance was a valued virtue, often associated with strength and resilience. The early Christian community, living under Roman rule and often facing persecution, would have understood "anechó" as a call to steadfastness and patience. This endurance was not passive but active, reflecting a commitment to maintain faith and unity despite external pressures.
