In the context of the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of God communicating or acting in various manners.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of πολυτρόπως would have been understood as a reflection of versatility and adaptability. The term suggests a richness and depth in the manner of execution or communication, which would have been appreciated in a culture that valued rhetoric and the art of persuasion. In the Jewish context, this term underscores the multifaceted ways God revealed Himself to His people throughout history, through prophets, visions, and other means.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4187</b> <i>polytrópōs</i> (an adverb, derived from <a href="/greek/4183.htm">4183</a> <i>/polýs</i>, "many in <i>number</i>" and <a href="/greek/5158.htm">5158</a> <i>/trópos</i>, "way, manner") – properly, <i>many manners</i> (<i>avenues</i>); (figuratively) the <i>multitudinous</i> (<i>infinite</i>) number of ways God shares His Word to (in) people.
