It emphasizes a collective ownership or association, often used in contexts where the speaker is identifying with a group or community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of collective identity and belonging was significant, especially within familial, tribal, or civic groups. The use of ἡμέτερος would resonate with early Christian communities who saw themselves as a distinct group united by faith in Christ. This pronoun would reinforce the sense of shared beliefs and communal life that characterized the early Church.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2251</b> <i>hēméteros</i> (an emphatic possessive pronoun) – the emphatic form of "<i>our</i>," i.e. the <i>marked</i> (emphatic) way of saying "<i>our</i>" (first person, possessive plural). </p><p class="discovery">[Also see <a href="/greek/2249.htm">2249</a> <i>/hēmeís</i> ("we"), the <i>un</i>emphatic form (root) of the emphatic term <a href="/greek/2251.htm">2251</a> <i>/hēméteros</i> ("our").]</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>poss. pronoun from <a href="/greek/2249.htm">hémeis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>our<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ours (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 2251: ἡμέτερος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἡμέτερος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἡμετέρα</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡμέτερον</span> (<span class="greek2">ἡμεῖς</span>), possessive pronoun of the 1 person plural (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">our</span>: with a substantive, <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-11.htm">Acts 2:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/24-6.htm">Acts 24:6</a> (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Acts 26:5>; <a href="/interlinear/romans/15-4.htm">Romans 15:4</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-31.htm">1 Corinthians 15:31</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.<span class="lexsuper">st</span></span> <span class="manuref"><span class="lexsuper">bez</span></span>); <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-15.htm">2 Timothy 4:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_john/1-3.htm">1 John 1:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_john/2-2.htm">1 John 2:2</a>; <span class="greek2">οἱ</span> <span class="greek2">ἡμέτεροι</span>, substantively, 'our people,' (the brethren): <a href="/interlinear/titus/3-14.htm">Titus 3:14</a>.
