Usage: The verb θυμόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of provoking or inciting someone to anger. It is often used in contexts where individuals are stirred up to wrath or indignation. Context: The Greek verb θυμόω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve emotional provocation or incitement to anger. It is closely related to the noun θυμός, which denotes a strong emotional state, often associated with anger or intense feeling. In the New Testament, θυμόω is used to describe situations where individuals are stirred up or provoked, often leading to conflict or confrontation. For example, in Acts 17:16, the Apostle Paul is described as being "greatly distressed" (or provoked) in his spirit when he saw the city of Athens full of idols. This usage highlights the internal emotional response that leads to action or speech. The verb underscores the intensity of the emotional reaction, often resulting in a call to address the cause of provocation. The concept of θυμόω is significant in understanding the human emotional response to idolatry, injustice, or other situations that conflict with divine principles. It reflects the biblical theme of righteous indignation, where anger is not merely a human failing but can be a response to moral and spiritual offenses.
