προσφορ-ά G4376
An offering or sacrifice presented to God; both the act of offering and the thing offered, especially Christ's self-sacrifice.
Denotes a religious offering or sacrifice brought before God, encompassing both the act of presenting and the gift itself. In Ephesians 5:2, Christ gave himself as 'an offering and a sacrifice' — a phrase where this word stands alongside the more general term for sacrifice to specify the voluntary, presenting aspect. The author of Hebrews uses it repeatedly to contrast Christ's once-for-all offering with the repeated sacrifices of the old covenant (Heb 10:5, 10, 14, 18). Spanish 'ofrenda' and French 'offrande' both preserve the sense of a gift brought forward, while German 'Opfer' merges offering and sacrifice into one concept.
Senses
1. offering, sacrifice (presented to God) — A religious offering or sacrifice presented to God, covering both the act of bringing an offering and the offering itself. In the NT, it ranges from Paul's description of Gentile converts as an acceptable 'offering' (Rom 15:16) to the ritual offerings connected with temple vows (Acts 21:26, 24:17), and climactically to Christ's self-offering that renders all other sacrifices obsolete (Eph 5:2, Heb 10:5, 10, 14, 18). Spanish 'ofrenda' and French 'offrande' both emphasize the gift-presenting dimension, while the Hebrews passages stress the definitive, unrepeatable character of Christ's offering as the theological center of the word's NT usage. 9×
