It conveys the idea of traveling for the purpose of conducting business, often implying a journey or expedition to buy and sell goods. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe those who exploit or take advantage of others for personal gain, particularly in a spiritual or religious context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, trade and commerce were vital components of daily life and the economy. Merchants traveled extensively across the Mediterranean and beyond, exchanging goods such as spices, textiles, and metals. The concept of trade was well understood by the original audience of the New Testament, and the metaphorical use of ἐμπορεύομαι would have resonated with them, highlighting the dangers of exploiting spiritual matters for material gain.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1710</b> <i>emporeúomai</i> (the root of the English term, <i>emporium</i>, "a place for <i>trading</i>") – properly, "to engage in <i>trade</i>" (Souter); doing business by <i>trading</i>; to make a gain by <i>exchanging</i> (<i>bartering</i>, <i>investing</i>) (<i>A-S</i>).</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/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/4198.htm">poreuomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to travel in, to traffic, by impl. to trade<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>engage in business (1), exploit (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 1710: ἐμπορεύομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐμπορεύομαι</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3): deponent passive with future middle <span class="greek2">ἐμπορεύσομαι</span>; (from <span class="greek2">ἔμπορος</span>, which see); <span class="accented">to go a trading, to travel for business, to traffic, trade</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> and following; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>): <a href="/interlinear/james/4-13.htm">James 4:13</a> (<span class="manuref">R<span class="lexsuper">st</span></span> <span class="manuref">G</span> here give the 1 aorist subjunctive <span class="greek2">ἐμπορευσώμεθα</span>); with the accusative of a thing, <span class="accented">to import for sale</span> (as <span class="greek2">ἔλαιον</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">Αἴγυπτον</span>, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/hosea/12-1.htm">Hosea 12:1</a>; <span class="greek2">πορφύραν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀπό</span> <span class="greek2">Φοινίκης</span>, (<span class="abbreviation">Diogenes Laërtius</span> 7, 2; <span class="greek2">γλαυκας</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Lucian</span>, Nigrin. at the beginning); <span class="accented">to deal in; to use a thing or a person for gain</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
