Strong's Hebrew entries such as 5162 (נָחַם, nacham) meaning "to comfort" or "to console," and 8575 (תַּנְחוּם, tanchum) meaning "comfort" or "consolation," reflect similar ideas.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "paramuthion" refers to the act or process of comforting or providing consolation. It is used to describe the alleviation of sorrow or distress through words or actions that bring relief and encouragement. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the comfort provided by God or fellow believers in times of trouble or persecution.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of comfort was significant, especially in the context of suffering and loss. Philosophers and religious leaders often discussed the importance of providing consolation to those in distress. In the early Christian community, comfort was a vital aspect of communal life, reflecting the love and support believers were to show one another, as well as the comfort they received from God through the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3890</b> <i>paramýthion</i> (a neuter noun) – consolation (comfort) produced by using <i>soothing</i> words (actions). <a href="/greek/3890.htm">3890</a> <i>/paramýthion</i> (as a <i>neuter</i> noun) focuses on the <i>principle and results</i> of comfort (being consoled). <a href="/greek/3888.htm">See 3888</a> (<i>paramytheomai</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/3888.htm">paramutheomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>exhortation, encouragement<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>consolation (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 3890: παραμύθιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παραμύθιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παραμυθου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, (<span class="greek2">παραμυθέομαι</span>),<span class="accented">persuasive address</span>: <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-1.htm">Philippians 2:1</a>.
