It is often used in the context of providing inner strength or fortitude, particularly in spiritual or moral dimensions. This strengthening can be both physical and spiritual, often implying divine assistance or empowerment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, strength was a valued trait, often associated with physical prowess, courage, and moral fortitude. The concept of being strengthened by a divine power was not uncommon in ancient religious thought. In the New Testament, "enischuó" reflects the Christian understanding of receiving strength from God, particularly through the Holy Spirit, to endure trials, perform ministry, and live a life of faith.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1765</b> <i>enisxýō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i> "in," which intensifies <a href="/greek/2480.htm">2480</a> <i>/isxýō</i>, "engaging, assaulting strength") – properly, being strong enough to face <i>necessary confrontation</i> (<i>engage resistance</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[In Lk 22:43, <a href="/greek/1765.htm">1765</a> (<i>enisxýō</i>) refers to God's "<i>interfacing</i> strength," like when providing an angel to share His "<i>overcoming</i> resources."]</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>from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/2480.htm">ischuó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to strengthen<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>strengthened (1), strengthening (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 1765: ἐνισχύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐνισχύω</span></span>;
