It conveys a sense of comparison or emphasis on the greatness or largeness of an object or concept.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of size or magnitude was often associated with importance or significance. The use of "hélikos" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the greatness or impact of certain teachings or events. The term would have resonated with a first-century audience familiar with Greek language and thought, highlighting the significance of the message being conveyed.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2245</b> <i>hēlíkos</i> (from <i>hēli<smallcaps>x</smallcaps></i>, "<i>adult</i> comrade") – properly, fully grown (adult); (figuratively) "great" by "coming of age," i.e. <i>fully grown</i> ("grown up").
