It is used to describe a state of being troubled or grieved, often in response to a situation that is perceived as wrong or unjust. This term reflects an intense emotional reaction, indicating a strong internal struggle or agitation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, emotional expressions such as grief and distress were often associated with personal or communal crises. The use of "diaponeomai" in the New Testament reflects the deep emotional responses of early Christians to situations that challenged their faith or moral convictions. This term captures the intensity of feelings that arise when confronted with opposition or moral dilemmas.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1278</b> <i>diaponéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">1223</a> <i>/diá</i>, "thoroughly," intensifying <i>poneō</i>, "to labor, toil") – properly, bring on <i>exhausting</i>, <i>depleting</i> grief which results in "piercing fatigue."</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and poneomai (to work hard)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to toil through, to be worn out or annoyed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>greatly annoyed (1), greatly disturbed (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 1278: διαπονέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διαπονέω</span></span>: <span class="accented">to work out laboriously, make complete by labor</span>.
