Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the verb ὑστερέω (hystereō), meaning "to lack" or "to fall short." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑστέρημα, similar concepts of lack or deficiency can be found in Hebrew terms such as חֶסֶר (cheser, Strong's H2639), meaning "lack" or "want," and מַחְסוֹר (machsor, Strong's H4270), meaning "need" or "poverty." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe situations of need or insufficiency, paralleling the New Testament usage of ὑστέρημα. Usage: The term ὑστέρημα is used in the New Testament to describe various forms of lack or deficiency, whether material, spiritual, or moral. It appears in contexts where there is a need to be fulfilled or a gap to be addressed. Context: The Greek term ὑστέρημα is used in several New Testament passages to convey the idea of lacking or deficiency. It is often employed in contexts where there is a need for provision or completion. For instance, in 2 Corinthians 8:14, Paul speaks of the abundance of one group supplying the ὑστέρημα of another, highlighting the principle of mutual support within the Christian community: "At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality." In Philippians 2:30, Paul uses ὑστέρημα to describe the service of Epaphroditus, who risked his life to make up for the Philippians' lack of service to Paul: "because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me." The term also appears in Colossians 1:24, where Paul speaks of filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of His body, the church: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of His body, which is the church." These passages illustrate the multifaceted nature of ὑστέρημα, encompassing physical needs, spiritual service, and the communal life of believers. The concept underscores the importance of interdependence and the call to address deficiencies within the body of Christ.
