- ὑποφέρω fut. ὑποίσω; aor. ὑπήνεγκα, inf. ὑπενεγκεῖν (Jos., Ant. 8, 213; on the aorist forms s. B-D-F §81, 2), ὑπενέγκαι (Hs 7:6). (Hom.+) In our lit. as fig. ext. of ‘bear or carry by being under’ (s. example fr. X. in 2 below)① to bear up under trouble or difficulty, submit to, endure τί someth. (Hippocr., X., Pla. et al.; Sb 5238, 22 [12 A.D.]; LXX; Tat. 21, 1 τιμωρίαν) Hv 3, 1, 9ab; 3, 2, 1. διωγμούς 2 Ti 3:11. θλίψεις Hs 7:4–6. λύπας 1 Pt 2:19; cp. Hm 10, 2, 6. πόνους 1 Cl 5:4 (cp. X., Hipparch, 1, 3; Pla., Tht. 173a; Isocr. 4, 64; 2 Macc 7:36). ὀργήν Hm 12, 4, 1 (cp. Pla., Leg. 9, 879c; Mi 7:9) κίνδυνον incur danger (Isocr. 3, 64) 1 Cl 14:2. ὕβριν bear up under mistreatment Hm 8:10. Abs. 1 Cor 10:13.② to bear someth. for the benefit of another, bear, bring, effect τὶ someth. in imagery of one who is under a burden (as e.g. an armor-bearer who is under the arms that he carries X., Cyr. 4, 5, 57) τὸ αἷμα τοῦ χριστοῦ … παντὶ τῷ κόσμῳ μετανοίας χάριν ὑπήνεγκεν the blood of Christ made the bounty of repentance available to all the world 1 Cl 7:4 (v.l. ἐπήνεγκεν). (Here the blood of C. is viewed as capable of bearing a monumental burden of χάρις that benefits the entire world. As Lightf. points out, Soph., El. 834; X., Hell. 4, 7, 2 are not pertinent in establishing the questionable sense ‘proffer’; nor is Plut., Publ. 109 [23], of a torch extended in symbolic gesture at a bier.)—M-M.
