It is an adjective that characterizes objects, actions, or conditions that lead to death or have fatal consequences.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of death was often personified and feared. The term "thanatéphoros" would have been understood in a context where death was a significant and ever-present reality, often associated with war, disease, and divine judgment. The Greeks and Romans had various deities and myths surrounding death, and the term would resonate with the cultural understanding of mortality and the afterlife.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2288.htm">thanatos</a> and <a href="/greek/5342.htm">pheró</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>death-bringing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deadly (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 2287: θανατηφόρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θανατηφόρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">θανατηφόρον</span> (<span class="greek2">θάνατος</span> and <span class="greek2">φέρω</span>), <span class="accented">death-bringing, deadly</span>: <a href="/interlinear/james/3-8.htm">James 3:8</a>.
