Strong's Lexicon lupé: Sorrow, grief, pain, distress Original Word: λύπη Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb λυπέω (lupeo), meaning "to grieve" or "to cause sorrow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3015 (yagon): Sorrow, grief - H3708 (ka'as): Anger, vexation, sorrow Usage: In the New Testament, λύπη (lupé) is used to describe a range of emotional experiences related to sorrow, grief, and distress. It often conveys a deep sense of emotional pain or sadness, whether due to personal loss, sin, or the suffering of others. The term can also refer to the sorrow that leads to repentance, as seen in 2 Corinthians 7:10, where Paul distinguishes between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of grief and sorrow were common in both public and private life. Mourning rituals were an integral part of the culture, and emotional expressions of grief were often seen in response to death, loss, or misfortune. In the Jewish context, sorrow was also a significant aspect of religious life, often associated with repentance and lamentation. The New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, emphasizing the transformative potential of godly sorrow.
