In the New Testament, it is used to express a solemn promise or a heartfelt petition to God. The word captures both the act of making a vow and the content of the prayer itself, reflecting a deep spiritual commitment or request.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, making vows was a common religious practice, often involving promises to deities in exchange for favors or blessings. In the Jewish tradition, vows were serious commitments made to God, sometimes accompanied by offerings or sacrifices. The concept of prayer as a vow underscores the seriousness and dedication involved in one's communication with God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2171</b> <i>eu<smallcaps>x</smallcaps></i> (from 2172<i>/eu<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>omai</i>, "to pray, vow," which is the root of 1336<i>/proseu<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>omai</i>, the most common NT word for "pray") – properly, a <i>wish</i> or <i>prayer</i> (as in Js 5:15).</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/2172.htm">euchomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a prayer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>prayer (1), vow (2).<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 2171: εὐχή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐχή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὐχῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">εὔχομαι</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a prayer to God</span>: <a href="/interlinear/james/5-15.htm">James 5:15</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a vow</span> (often so in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">נֵדֶר</span> and <span class="hebrew">נֶדֶר</span>, also for <span class="hebrew">נֵזֶר</span> consecration, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἁγνίζω</span></span>): <span class="greek2">εὐχήν</span> <span class="greek2">ἔχειν</span>, to have taken a vow, <a href="/interlinear/acts/18-18.htm">Acts 18:18</a>; with <span class="greek2">ἐφ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἑαυτῶν</span> added (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐπί</span></span>, A.
