In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the spiritual rest that believers enter into through faith in Christ. This rest is both a present reality and a future promise, reflecting the peace and fulfillment found in God's presence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, rest was often associated with relief from physical labor or the cessation of conflict. However, the Jewish understanding of rest, particularly in the context of the Sabbath, carried a deeper spiritual significance. It was a time set apart for worship and reflection on God's provision and faithfulness. The concept of rest in the New Testament builds on this foundation, emphasizing a spiritual rest that comes from trusting in God's completed work through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2664.htm">katapauó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>rest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>repose (1), rest (8).<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 2663: κατάπαυσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατάπαυσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καταπαύσεώς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">καταπαύω</span>, which see); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> actively, <span class="accented">a putting to rest</span>: <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">πνευμάτων</span>, a calming of the winds <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, de ventis 18; <span class="greek2">τυράννων</span>, removal from office <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 5, 38. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> In the Greek Scriptures (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> several times for <span class="hebrew">מְנוּחָה</span>) intransitive, <span class="accented">a resting, rest</span>: <span class="greek2">ἡμέρα</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">καταπαύσεώς</span>, the day of rest, the sabbath, 2 Macc. 15:1; <span class="greek2">τόπος</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">καταπαύσεώς</span> <span class="greek2">μου</span>, where I may rest, <a href="/interlinear/acts/7-49.htm">Acts 7:49</a>.
