In the New Testament, Cyprus is mentioned as a significant location in the early Christian church, particularly in the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul and Barnabas.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Cyprus was an important cultural and commercial hub in the ancient world, known for its strategic location and natural resources, including copper. It was a melting pot of Greek, Roman, and Eastern influences. In the first century, Cyprus was a Roman province. The island played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity, as it was the home of Barnabas, one of the early Christian leaders.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Cyprus, an island at the east end of the Mediterranean Sea<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Cyprus (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 2954: Κύπρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Κύπρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Κύπρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">Cyprus,</span> a very fertile and delightful island of the Mediterranean, lying between Cilicia and Syria: <a href="/interlinear/acts/11-19.htm">Acts 11:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/13-4.htm">Acts 13:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/15-39.htm">Acts 15:39</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-3.htm">Acts 21:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-4.htm">Acts 27:4</a> (1 Macc. 15:23; 2 Macc. 10:13).
