Berean Strong's Lexicon poiétés: Doer, Maker, Poet Original Word: ποιητής Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: poiétés Pronunciation: poy-ay-TACE Phonetic Spelling: (poy-ay-tace') Definition: Doer, Maker, Poet Meaning: (a) a maker, poet, (b) a doer, carrier out, performer. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ποιέω (poieō), meaning "to make" or "to do." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ποιητής, the concept of being a "doer" can be related to Hebrew words like עָשָׂה (asah, Strong's H6213), meaning "to do" or "to make." Usage: In the New Testament, ποιητής primarily refers to someone who performs or acts upon something, often translated as "doer." It emphasizes the importance of action and implementation, particularly in the context of living out one's faith. The term can also refer to a "poet" in a more classical Greek context, highlighting creativity and craftsmanship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, a ποιητής was often seen as a creator or artist, someone who brought forth new works through skill and imagination. This concept was highly esteemed in Greek society, where poets and artists were revered for their ability to capture and convey the human experience. In the New Testament, the term is adapted to emphasize the active practice of faith, contrasting mere listeners or hearers of the word.
