It is often used to describe a state of being afflicted or undergoing severe trials. In the New Testament, it is used to express the condition of those who are spiritually or emotionally burdened, highlighting the human experience of suffering and the need for divine intervention and comfort.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, suffering and hardship were common experiences due to political instability, economic challenges, and social inequalities. The concept of enduring hardship was often associated with philosophical ideas about the human condition and the pursuit of virtue. In the Jewish context, suffering was sometimes seen as a consequence of sin or a test of faith, with an emphasis on seeking God's deliverance and mercy.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 5003</b> <i>talaipōréō</i> – intensely afflict, leaving someone in a <i>wretched</i> (miserable) condition – literally, showing <i>callouses</i> due to <i>sustained affliction</i> (used only at Js 4:9). <a href="/greek/5005.htm">See 5005</a> (<i>talaipōros</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 href="/greek/5005.htm">talaipóros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to suffer hardship or distress<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>miserable (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 5003: ταλαιπωρέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ταλαιπωρέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ταλαιπώρω</span>: 1 aorist imperative <span class="greek2">ταλαιπωρήσατε</span>; (<span class="greek2">τλαιπωρος</span>, which see); from <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, and <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">שָׁדַד</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to toil heavily, to endure labors and hardships; to be afflicted; to feel afflicted and miserable</span>: <a href="/interlinear/james/4-9.htm">James 4:9</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> in Greek writings and the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> also transitively (cf.
