Risposte

Adelphós significa fratello — fratello fisico, compatriota e, nel Nuovo Testamento, fratello nella fede. È la parola centrale per la relazione familiare che la chiesa condivide in Cristo.

Adelphos covers physical brothers and, by extension, anyone who shares the same family or people. The New Testament takes the word and applies it to those who share the same heavenly Father through Jesus.

This is why letters routinely greet recipients as “brothers and sisters” (adelphoi includes both). Believers are not merely teammates; they are family — bound by something deeper than blood, the new birth in Christ.
