ἐπάγγ-ελμα G1862
promise; a declaration or pledge of something to be given or done, especially divine promises
The word denotes a promise or pledge, particularly God's promises to believers. Peter speaks of God's precious and magnificent promises (2 Pet 1:4) through which believers partake of divine nature. He references the promise of new heavens and a new earth (2 Pet 3:13). While classical usage could mean profession or subject matter, NT usage focuses on divine promises—God's commitments to his people. The term emphasizes the reliability and preciousness of what God has pledged.
