It is used in the New Testament to describe both physical suffering and deep emotional anguish. The term captures the intensity of suffering, whether it be bodily pain or the sorrow of the soul.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of pain and suffering was often associated with the human condition and the trials of life. The Greeks and Romans had various philosophical and medical approaches to understanding and alleviating pain. In the Jewish context, suffering was often seen in light of divine providence and the consequences of sin, yet also as an opportunity for spiritual growth and reliance on God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3600</b> <i>odynáō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3601.htm">3601</a> <i>/odýnē</i>, "<i>very</i> painful sorrow") – properly, to experience intense emotional pain (<i>WP</i>, 2, 223), i.e. deep, personal <i>anguish</i> expressed by great <i>mourning</i> (<i>LS</i>).
