This concept was prevalent in both Greek and Hebrew thought, where the physical organs were often associated with emotional states. The term reflects a deep, visceral response, indicating genuine and profound emotional engagement.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4698</b> <i>splágxnon</i> – properly, the internal organs ("viscera"); (figuratively) "<i>gut-level compassion</i>" (<i>visceral</i> feelings); the capacity to feel deep emotions (sympathy, empathy, etc.).</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>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the inward parts (heart, liver, lungs, etc.), fig. the emotions<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>affection (3), affections (1), heart (4), hearts (1), intestines (1), tender (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 4698: σπλάγχνον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σπλάγχνον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σπλαγχνου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, and (only so in the N.
