zōḗ · noun · “life”

Risposte

Zōē è la vita: e in Giovanni soprattutto la vita eterna, dono di Dio, che inizia già adesso per mezzo di Gesù, non una mera esistenza biologica.

Risposta rapida tradotta con l'aiuto dell'IA e in revisione. La spiegazione completa è mostrata in inglese.

Greek had more than one word for life; zōē points to life itself, vitality, and in the New Testament’s hands, the divine life God shares with his people. John layers it with “eternal,” describing a quality of life — knowing God — as much as a length.

Jesus claims to be its source: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” and came that we “may have life and have it abundantly.” This life starts the moment a person trusts Christ and cannot be ended by death.
