It conveys the idea of being full of energy or having the capacity to produce an effect. In the New Testament, it often refers to the active and effective nature of God's word or power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of energy and activity was often associated with divine or supernatural power. The term ἐνεργής would have been understood as something that is not dormant or passive but is instead dynamic and capable of bringing about change. This understanding is reflected in the New Testament, where the word is used to describe the living and active nature of God's word and His work in the world.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1756</b> <i>energḗs</i> (an adjective) – properly, <i>energized</i>, full-of-energy (operative). <a href="/greek/1754.htm">See 1754</a> (<i>energeō</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/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/2041.htm">ergon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>at work, active<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>active (1), effective (2).<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 1756: ἐνεργής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐνεργής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐνεργες</span> (equivalent to <span class="greek2">ἐνεργός</span>, equivalent to <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ὤν</span> <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">ἔργῳ</span> (English <span class="accented">at work</span>)), <span class="accented">active</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12</a>; by a somewhat incongruous figuratively, in <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/16-9.htm">1 Corinthians 16:9</a> a <span class="greek2">θύρα</span> <span class="greek2">ἐνεργής</span> is spoken of, 'an opportunity for the working of the gospel'; <span class="greek2">ἐνεργής</span> <span class="greek2">γίνομαι</span> <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, in something, <a href="/interlinear/philemon/1-6.htm">Philemon 1:6</a>.
