Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταρτίζω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to restoration and completion, such as שָׁלֵם (shalem, Strong's 7999), meaning to complete or make whole, and תָּקַן (taqan, Strong's 8626), meaning to make straight or right. These terms reflect the Old Testament's emphasis on restoration and preparation, paralleling the New Testament's use of καταρτίζω. Usage: καταρτίζω is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often referring to the act of restoring, equipping, or perfecting individuals or groups for a specific purpose or function. It can also imply the mending of physical objects or the spiritual restoration of individuals. Context: The Greek verb καταρτίζω appears in several New Testament passages, each illustrating a facet of its meaning. In Matthew 4:21, it describes the mending of nets, indicating a physical restoration to usefulness. In a spiritual context, Galatians 6:1 uses καταρτίζω to instruct believers to restore someone caught in sin gently, emphasizing the restoration of spiritual health and community harmony. Ephesians 4:12 highlights the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, suggesting a process of preparing and perfecting believers for service. This usage underscores the transformative aspect of καταρτίζω, where individuals are made complete and ready for their God-given roles. In Hebrews 13:21, the term is used in a prayer for God to equip believers with everything good for doing His will, reflecting the divine aspect of preparation and empowerment. This passage emphasizes the holistic nature of καταρτίζω, encompassing both spiritual and practical readiness. The concept of καταρτίζω is integral to understanding the New Testament's teachings on growth, restoration, and preparation. It conveys the idea that believers are continually being shaped and equipped by God for His purposes, both individually and collectively.
