Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
This
word is generally
used
to mean
the
utterances of a
soul
in bondage to
sin
, or to the
law
(Rom. 7); of one, therefore, who has not simply believed
the
gospel
of his
salvation
(although he may
hope
his sins will be pardoned), and who is not indwelt by the
Spirit
of
God
(
Eph. 1:13
13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:13)
), so as to cry, “
Abba
Father
” (
Rom. 8:15
15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Romans 8:15)
) Tue word, however, is
also
used in
Scripture
of the utterance of the Spirit of God, when we
often
cannot find words to express in
prayer
what
weighs on our hearts (
Rom. 8:26
26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)
). It is also used in the same chapter of the
believer
, who groans in sympathy
with
the whole
creation
, waiting
for
the coming of the
Lord
(see also
2 Cor. 5:2
2
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: (2 Corinthians 5:2)
).
The word
translated “groaned” in
John 11:33
33
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, (John 11:33)
is another word altogether.
