It involves an internal process of reflection or deliberation, often with an emotional or passionate component. This term suggests a thoughtful engagement with an idea or situation, going beyond superficial consideration to a more profound contemplation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of deep reflection and contemplation was highly valued, especially in philosophical circles. The ability to ponder and deliberate was seen as a mark of wisdom and maturity. In the context of the New Testament, this term reflects the importance of thoughtful consideration in decision-making and moral reflection, aligning with the Jewish tradition of meditating on God's law and wisdom.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1760</b> <i>enthyméomai</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i>, "<i>in</i> a state or condition," intensifying <a href="/greek/2372.htm">2372</a> <i>/thymós</i>, "passionate response") – properly, <i>in</i> a <i>passionate</i> frame of mind, easily agitated or quickly moved by <i>strong, provoking impulses</i>.</p><p class="discovery">[This root (<i>enthyme-</i>) refers to "passionate supposing (surmising)" in a person's mind (heart) producing <i>fervent, inner cogitation</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 comp. of <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/2372.htm">thumos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to reflect on, to ponder<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>considered (1), thinking (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 1760: διενθυμέομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διενθυμέομαι</span></span>, <span class="greek2">διενθυμοῦμαι</span>; <span class="accented">to weigh in the mind, consider</span>: <span class="greek2">περί</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-19.htm">Acts 10:19</a>, for <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">ἐνθυμέομαι</span>.
