It can refer to many people, much of something, or a great extent or degree. In the New Testament, "polus" is often used to emphasize abundance or multitude, whether in terms of people, things, or abstract concepts like time or effort.Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of abundance was often associated with prosperity and blessing. The use of "polus" in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of abundance as a sign of God's provision and favor. The term is frequently used in contexts that highlight the vastness of God's kingdom, the multitude of believers, or the extensive reach of Jesus' ministry.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>4183 polýs – many (high in number); multitudinous, plenteous, "much"; "great" in amount (extent). <a href="/greek/4183.htm">4183</a> /polýs ("much in number") emphasizes the quantity involved. <a href="/greek/4183.htm">4183</a> (polýs) "signifies 'many, numerous'; . . . with the article it is said of a multitude as being numerous" (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 113,114) – i.e. great in amount.<iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin a prim. word Definition much, many NASB Translation all (3), better (1), deep (1), earnestly (3), enough (1), even more (1), few* (1), freely (1), full (1), further (1), further* (3), great (33), greater (4), greater numbers (1), greatly (5), hard (2), harshly (1), heartily (1), high price (1), large (30), large numbers (1), large sums (1), larger (1), late* (2), lengthy (1), long (5), longer (1), loudly (1), majority (3), many (181), many more (1), many people (1), many subjects (1), many things (17), many...things (4), more (25), more numerous (1), most (8), most people's (1), much (50), often (1), plentiful (2), quite (2), several (1), some (1), something greater (2), strict (1), terrible (1), very (1), very large (1), very long (1), very much (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 4183: πολύς πολύς, πολλή (from an older form πολλός, found in Homer, Hesiod, Pindar), πολύ; ((cf.
