It functions as a present participle of the verb "to be" and is often used to describe a continuous or ongoing state. In the New Testament, it is frequently employed to describe the nature or condition of a person or thing, emphasizing their current state or identity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of Hellenistic Greek, the concept of "being" was significant in both philosophical and everyday discourse. Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle explored the nature of existence and being, which influenced the language and thought of the time. In the New Testament, the use of ὤν, οὖσα, ὄν reflects a Hebraic understanding of existence, where being is often tied to one's relationship with God and one's role within the community of faith.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>masc., fem. and neut. pres. part. of <a href="/greek/1510.htm">eimi</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>be, come, have. <p>Including the feminine ousa (oo'-sah); and the neuter on (on) present participle of <a href="/greek/1510.htm">eimi</a>; being -- be, come, have. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1510.htm">eimi</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>οντα ὄντα οντες ὄντες ων ὤν on ōn ṓn onta ónta ontes óntes<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/greek/e__5600.htm">ᾖ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/io_be_d_5601.htm">Ἰωβὴδ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_de_5602.htm">ὧδε — 62 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_dais_5603.htm">ᾠδαῖς — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_de_n_5603.htm">ᾠδὴν — 5 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_din_5604.htm">ὠδὶν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_dinas_5604.htm">ὠδῖνας — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_dino_n_5604.htm">ὠδίνων — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_dino__5605.htm">ὠδίνω — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_dinousa_5605.htm">ὠδίνουσα — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_ne_sato_5608.htm">ὠνήσατο — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_on_5609.htm">ᾠόν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_ra_5610.htm">ὥρᾳ — 61 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_rai_5610.htm">ὧραί — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_ran_5610.htm">ὥραν — 22 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_ras_5610.htm">ὥρας — 21 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_ro_n_5610.htm">ὡρῶν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_raia_5611.htm">Ὡραίᾳ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_raian_5611.htm">Ὡραίαν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/o_raioi_5611.htm">ὡραῖοι — 2 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/5606.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5606"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5606" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/5608.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5608"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5608" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
