It is used in the New Testament to describe a state of deep anxiety or sorrow, reflecting an intense internal struggle or burden.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of deep emotional distress were often associated with significant life events, such as loss, betrayal, or impending danger. The use of ἀδημονέω in the New Testament reflects the human experience of profound sorrow and the need for divine comfort and strength. This term captures the depth of human emotion in the face of overwhelming circumstances, a common theme in both Jewish and Greco-Roman literature.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be distressed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>distressed (2), troubled (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 85: ἀδημονέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀδημονέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ῶ</span>; (from the unused <span class="greek2">ἀδημων</span>, and this from the alpha privative and <span class="greek2">δῆμος</span>; accordingly, uncomfortable, as not at home, cf.
