It is used in the context of physical swelling or inflammation, often metaphorically to describe emotions or spiritual states that are inflamed or agitated.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of swelling or inflammation was often associated with physical ailments or emotional disturbances. The Greeks understood the human body and emotions as interconnected, and terms like "pimpremi" could be used to describe both physical and emotional states. In the biblical context, this term can be used metaphorically to describe spiritual conditions, such as pride or anger, that can "swell" within a person.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4092: πιμπράω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πιμπράω</span></span> (for the more common <span class="greek2">πίμπρημι</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 378, <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 510f)): (present infinitive passive <span class="greek2">πίμπρασθαι</span>; but <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">πίμπρασθαι</span> from the form <span class="greek2">πίμπρημι</span> (<span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> <span class="greek2">ἐμπίπρασθαι</span>, which see)); in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> ((yet only the aorist from <span class="greek2">πρήθω</span>)) down; <span class="accented">to blow, to burn</span> (on the connection between these meanings cf.
