    DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of βραχίων ‘arm,’ not occurring in the NT) power as an expression of the activity of a person or supernatural being{N:001}
    Glosses: power
    Comments: In some languages there is no abstract term for ‘power.’ The equivalent of doing something by the power of someone is ‘someone makes it possible to do’ or, in a figurative sense, ‘someone gives strength to do.’
