In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the "course" or "cycle" of life, particularly in the context of human behavior and its consequences.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a wheel was often associated with movement, progress, and the cyclical nature of life. Wheels were essential in transportation and technology, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical journeys. The metaphorical use of "trochos" in the New Testament reflects this understanding, emphasizing the ongoing and repetitive nature of human actions and their impact.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5164</b> <i>troxós</i> (derived apparently from <a href="/greek/5143.htm">5143</a> <i>/tréxō</i>, "to run") – properly, a <i>wheel</i> (moving on a circular track);
