It can refer to both physical and metaphorical burdens or consequences. The term is used to describe actions that result in a change of state or condition, often with a negative implication.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of bringing something upon someone could be understood in various contexts, such as legal, social, or personal. The idea of imposing burdens or consequences was familiar in both civic and religious life, where actions often had direct repercussions. The New Testament usage reflects this understanding, emphasizing the moral and spiritual dimensions of such actions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/5342.htm">pheró</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bring upon or against<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>inflicts (1), pronounce against (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2018: ἐπιφέρω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιφέρω</span></span>;
