It conveys a sense of necessity or lack, often in the context of physical or spiritual needs. In the New Testament, it is used to describe situations where individuals or groups are in need of assistance, guidance, or resources.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of need was often associated with the social and economic structures of the time. Communities were interdependent, and the meeting of needs was a communal responsibility. The early Christian church emphasized caring for those in need, reflecting the teachings of Jesus about love and compassion. This cultural backdrop highlights the importance of addressing both physical and spiritual needs within the community of believers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5534.htm">chré</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to need, have need of<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>have need (1), need (3), needs (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 5535: χρῄζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χρῄζω</span></span>;
