It conveys a sense of confidence and determination in the statement being made. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where individuals are making emphatic declarations or affirmations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, rhetoric and the art of persuasion were highly valued. The ability to assert one's position strongly and convincingly was an important skill, especially in legal and public settings. The use of διϊσχυρίζομαι reflects this cultural emphasis on strong verbal affirmation and the importance of standing firm in one's convictions.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1340</b> <i>diis<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>yrízomai</i> (from <i>is<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>yros</i>, "combatively strong," which is intensified by the prefix, <a href="/greek/1223.htm">1223</a> <i>/diá</i>, "thoroughly") – properly, <i>thoroughly</i> assert (<i>intensely</i> affirm), especially in the face of opposition; to "assert <i>emphatically</i>" (Souter).</p><p class="discovery">[The high level of <i>personal</i> self-involvement (<i>personal</i> interest) of this action ("intense asserting") accounts for why it is always in the Gk <i>middle</i> voice.]</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 ischurizomai (to rely on something, feel confident); from <a href="/greek/2478.htm">ischuros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lean upon, affirm confidently<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>insist (1), insisting (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 1340: διϊσχυρίζομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διϊσχυρίζομαι</span></span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">διϊσχυρίζομαι</span> (see Iota)): imperfect <span class="greek2">διισχυριζομην</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to lean upon.</span> <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to affirm stoutly, to assert confidently</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/22-59.htm">Luke 22:59</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/12-15.htm">Acts 12:15</a>.
