In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical trembling and a metaphorical trembling that reflects a deep sense of awe or respect, particularly in the presence of God or in response to His mighty works.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, "tromos" was commonly used to describe the physical reaction of trembling due to fear or awe. This concept was not foreign to the Jewish understanding, as the Hebrew Scriptures often depict individuals trembling before God or in the face of divine revelation. The use of "tromos" in the New Testament reflects this cultural context, emphasizing the appropriate response of humility and reverence before the Almighty.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 5156</b> <i>trómos</i> – trembling (shaking) caused by great fear. <a href="/greek/5141.htm">See 5141</a> (<i>tremō</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/5141.htm">tremó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>trembling, quaking<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>trembling (5).<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 5156: τρόμος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τρόμος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">τριχοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">τρέμω</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, <span class="accented">a trembling, quaking</span> with fear: <a href="/interlinear/mark/16-8.htm">Mark 16:8</a>; <span class="greek2">μετά</span> <span class="greek2">φοβοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">τρόμου</span>, <span class="accented">with fear and trembling,</span> used to describe the anxiety of one who distrusts his ability completely to meet all requirements, but religiously does his utmost to fulfil his duty, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/7-15.htm">2 Corinthians 7:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/6-5.htm">Ephesians 6:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-12.htm">Philippians 2:12</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">φόβῳ</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τρόμῳ</span> (<a href="/interlinear/isaiah/19-16.htm">Isaiah 19:16</a>), <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/2-3.htm">1 Corinthians 2:3</a> (<span class="greek2">φόβος</span> and <span class="greek2">τρόμος</span> are joined in <a href="/interlinear/genesis/9-2.htm">Genesis 9:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/15-16.htm">Exodus 15:16</a>; Deut.
