This term appears in various Old Testament passages that discuss poverty and need.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek adjective ἐνδεής (endees) is used to describe a state of being in need or lacking something essential. It conveys a sense of deficiency or insufficiency, often in a material or physical sense, but it can also imply a spiritual or moral shortfall.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "needy" or "lacking" was often associated with poverty and social vulnerability. The early Christian community, as reflected in the New Testament, was attentive to the needs of the poor and emphasized the importance of charity and support for those in need. This cultural context highlights the Christian call to address both physical and spiritual deficiencies within the community.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1729: ἐνδεής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐνδεής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐνδης</span> (from <span class="greek2">ἐνδέω</span> to lack, middle to be in need of), <span class="accented">needy, destitute</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-34.htm">Acts 4:34</a>.
