STRONGS NT 1755: ἐνέργημα

ἐνέργημα, ἐνεργητος, τό (ἐνεργέω), thing wrought; effect, operation: plural (R. V. workings), 1 Corinthians 12:6; with the addition of the epexegetical genitive δυνάμεων, ibid. 10. (Polybius, Diodorus, Antoninus (others).)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐνεργέω (energeō), meaning "to be at work, to be active, to operate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνέργημα, the concept of divine activity and power can be related to several Hebrew terms that describe God's work and actions. Some corresponding ideas might include:

- פֹּעַל (po'al) • work, deed, act
- מַעֲשֶׂה (ma'aseh) • work, deed, action
- כֹּחַ (koach) • strength, power, ability

These Hebrew terms capture the essence of God's active involvement and the manifestation of His power, similar to the Greek concept of ἐνέργημα.

Usage: The term ἐνέργημα is used in the New Testament to describe the manifestation or result of divine power or activity, particularly in the context of spiritual gifts and workings within the church.

Context: The Greek term ἐνέργημα (energēma) appears in the New Testament in the context of spiritual gifts and the workings of God within the body of Christ. It is found in 1 Corinthians 12:6, where the Apostle Paul discusses the diversity of gifts, services, and workings within the church, emphasizing that all are empowered by the same God. The verse reads: "There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people" (BSB).

In this passage, ἐνέργημα refers to the various operations or effects produced by the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. It underscores the idea that while there are diverse manifestations of spiritual gifts, they all originate from the same divine source and serve the purpose of building up the church. The term highlights the active and dynamic nature of God's presence and power at work among His people.

The concept of ἐνέργημα is closely related to the broader theological theme of divine empowerment and the role of the Holy Spirit in equipping believers for ministry and service. It reflects the belief that God is actively involved in the world, working through individuals to accomplish His purposes and to manifest His kingdom.
