These Hebrew terms share a similar range of meanings with ποτίζω, encompassing both the literal act of providing water and the metaphorical sense of nurturing and sustaining life. Usage: The verb ποτίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of giving someone a drink or watering plants. It is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual nourishment or care. Context: The Greek verb ποτίζω appears in several contexts within the New Testament, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. In its literal sense, ποτίζω is used to describe the act of providing water or drink to someone or something. For example, in Matthew 10:42, Jesus speaks of giving a cup of cold water to one of His disciples: "And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward." Metaphorically, ποτίζω is employed to convey the idea of spiritual nourishment and growth. In 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, Paul uses the term to describe the process of spiritual development: "I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." Here, ποτίζω signifies the role of teaching and nurturing in the spiritual maturation of believers, emphasizing that while human effort is involved, it is ultimately God who brings about growth. The verb also appears in contexts that highlight the importance of hospitality and care for others, as seen in Hebrews 6:7: "For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God." This passage uses the imagery of watering to describe the fruitful response of those who receive God's blessings and extend them to others.
