It is often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the radiance of God's presence, the light of Christ, or the illumination of truth and righteousness in the lives of believers. The term conveys both physical and spiritual illumination, emphasizing the transformative power of divine light.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, light was a powerful symbol of knowledge, purity, and divine presence. In the Greco-Roman context, light was associated with the divine and the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical. In Jewish tradition, light was a symbol of God's guidance and revelation, as seen in the imagery of the menorah in the Temple and the prophetic writings that speak of God's light shining upon His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. verb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to shine<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gives light (1), shine (2), shines (1), shone (3).<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 2989: λάμπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λάμπω</span></span>; future <span class="greek2">λαμψω</span> (<a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/4-6.htm">2 Corinthians 4:6</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> text <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐλαμψα</span>; (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <span class="accented">to shine</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/5-15.htm">Matthew 5:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/17-2.htm">Matthew 17:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-24.htm">Luke 17:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/12-7.htm">Acts 12:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/4-6.htm">2 Corinthians 4:6</a>.
