This term is used similarly in the Old Testament to denote the number three and carries its own symbolic meanings within the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The terms τρεῖς (treis) and τρία (tria) are used in the New Testament to denote the number three. They appear in various contexts, including counting, measurements, and symbolic references. Context: The Greek words τρεῖς (treis) and τρία (tria) are used extensively throughout the New Testament to signify the number three. This number often carries symbolic significance in biblical literature, representing completeness or divine perfection. In the New Testament, the number three appears in several key narratives and teachings. For instance, Jesus was tempted three times in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), and He rose from the dead on the third day (Matthew 16:21). The Apostle Peter denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed (Matthew 26:34), and Jesus later asked Peter three times if he loved Him, symbolically restoring him (John 21:15-17). The number three is also significant in the structure of the Trinity, representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This triune nature of God is a foundational doctrine in Christian theology. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of τρεῖς and τρία can be seen in various passages, such as: • Matthew 12:40: "For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." • 1 Corinthians 13:13: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love." These examples illustrate the diverse applications of the number three, from literal time periods to abstract concepts like faith, hope, and love.
