It conveys a sense of being burdened by hardship or suffering, often with an emphasis on the internal, emotional, or spiritual condition of a person. In the New Testament, it is used to express the profound realization of one's sinful state and the resulting misery apart from God's grace.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of wretchedness was often associated with the human condition, particularly in philosophical and moral discussions. The term "talaipóros" would have resonated with early Christian audiences familiar with the struggles of life and the pursuit of moral and spiritual integrity. The early Christians understood human wretchedness as a result of sin and separation from God, which could only be remedied through Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5005</b> <i>talaípōros</i> (an adjective, derived from <i>talaō</i>, "to bear, undergo" and <i>pōros</i>, "a callous," J.
