It often conveys the idea of being capable or having the strength to accomplish a task or overcome an obstacle. This term is closely related to the concept of divine empowerment, where believers are enabled by God's power to fulfill His purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, power and ability were highly valued traits, often associated with physical strength, political influence, or intellectual prowess. The New Testament, however, redefines power through the lens of divine enablement, emphasizing that true strength comes from God. This perspective was countercultural, as it shifted the focus from human capability to reliance on God's power.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1414</b> <i>dynatéō</i>– to exert overwhelming unstoppable power. <a href="/greek/1411.htm">See 1411</a> (<i>dynamis</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/1415.htm">dunatos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be able, be powerful<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>able (2), mighty (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 1414: δυνατέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δυνατέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δυνάτω</span>; (<span class="greek2">δυνατός</span>); <span class="accented">to be powerful</span> or <span class="accented">mighty; show oneself powerful</span>: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/13-3.htm">2 Corinthians 13:3</a> (opposed to <span class="greek2">ἀσθενῶ</span>); <span class="accented">to be able, have power</span>: followed by an infinitive, <a href="/interlinear/romans/14-4.htm">Romans 14:4</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/9-8.htm">2 Corinthians 9:8</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>.
