This concept is prevalent in the Old Testament, where God is frequently depicted as the healer of His people (e.g., Exodus 15:26).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "ἴαμα" refers to the act or result of healing, often in a physical sense. It is used in the New Testament to describe the miraculous healings performed by Jesus and the apostles, emphasizing the divine power and compassion involved in restoring health and wholeness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, healing was often associated with various deities and rituals. However, the New Testament presents healing as a sign of the in-breaking Kingdom of God, demonstrating Jesus' authority over sickness and his compassion for the suffering. The early Christian community continued this ministry of healing, viewing it as a testament to the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2386</b> <i>íama</i> (a <i>neuter</i> noun derived from <a href="/greek/2390.htm">2390</a> <i>/iáomai</i>) – <i>healing</i> (always in the <i>plural</i> in the NT, "<i>healings</i>"). <a href="/greek/2390.htm">See 2390</a> (<i>iaomai</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/2390.htm">iaomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a healing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>healing (1), healings (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 2386: ἴαμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἴαμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἰαματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">ἰάομαι</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a means of healing, remedy, medicine</span>; (Wis. 11:4 Wis. 16:9; <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 3, 130; <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 2, 51; <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 7, 14, 2; <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Lucian</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a healing</span>: plural, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12-9.htm">1 Corinthians 12:9, 28, 30</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/40-6.htm">Jeremiah 40:6</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Jer. 33:6>), etc.; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, legg. 7, p. 790 d.).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>healing. <p>From <a href="/greek/2390.htm">iaomai</a>; a cure (the effect) -- healing. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2390.htm">iaomai</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>ίαμα ίαμά ιάματά ιαματων ιαμάτων ἰαμάτων iamaton iamatōn iamáton iamátōn<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_corinthians/12-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Corinthians 12:9</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun - Genitive Neuter Plural">N-GNP</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">δὲ χαρίσματα <b>ἰαμάτων</b> ἐν τῷ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> gifts <span class="itali">of healing</span> by the one<br><a href="/kjvs/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the gifts <span class="itali">of healing</span> by<br><a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12-9.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> moreover gifts <span class="itali">of healing</span> in the<p><b><a href="/text/1_corinthians/12-28.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Corinthians 12:28</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun - Genitive Neuter Plural">N-GNP</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">ἔπειτα χαρίσματα <b>ἰαμάτων</b> ἀντιλήμψεις κυβερνήσεις</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> gifts <span class="itali">of healings,</span> helps,<br><a href="/kjvs/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> gifts <span class="itali">of healings,</span> helps,<br><a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12-28.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> then gifts <span class="itali">of healing</span> helping administrating<p><b><a href="/text/1_corinthians/12-30.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Corinthians 12:30</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun - Genitive Neuter Plural">N-GNP</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">χαρίσματα ἔχουσιν <b>ἰαμάτων</b> μὴ πάντες</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_corinthians/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> gifts <span class="itali">of healings,</span> do they?
