However, the role of women in the Hebrew Scriptures can be seen in figures like Deborah (Strong's Hebrew 1683) and Miriam (Strong's Hebrew 4813), who were influential in their communities.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Apphia is a personal name mentioned in the New Testament. It is used to refer to a Christian woman who is addressed in the Apostle Paul's letter to Philemon. The name itself does not have a specific meaning in Greek, but it is recognized as a proper noun identifying an individual.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Apphia is mentioned in the context of the early Christian church, specifically in the city of Colossae. During this time, the church was a close-knit community often meeting in homes. Women played significant roles in the early church, and Apphia is believed to have been a prominent member of the Christian community in Colossae. Her inclusion in the letter to Philemon suggests she was a person of influence, possibly related to Philemon or a leader in the house church.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a prim. root denoting endearment<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Apphia, a Christian woman in Colossae<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Apphia (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 682: Ἀπφίᾳ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἀπφίᾳ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Ἀπφιας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">Apphia,</span> name of a woman: <a href="/interlinear/philemon/1-2.htm">Philemon 1:2</a> (Apparently a Phrygian name expressive of endearment, cf.
