In the context of the New Testament, it can imply a flourishing or overflowing state, whether in terms of physical growth, spiritual abundance, or the manifestation of divine blessings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of abundance and flourishing was often associated with agricultural imagery, reflecting the agrarian society of the time. The idea of something swelling or bursting forth would resonate with audiences familiar with the cycles of planting and harvest. In the biblical context, such imagery is frequently used to describe the blessings of God, the growth of the Church, or the fruitfulness of a believer's life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be full to bursting, to gush with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>send (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 1032: βρύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βρύω</span></span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> intransitive, <span class="accented">to abound, gush forth, teem with juices</span> ((akin to <span class="greek2">βλύω</span>, <span class="greek2">φλύω</span>; see Lob.
