πῠρόω G4448
burn with passion or distress; refine by fire; set on fire, be ablaze
3. set on fire, be ablaze — To be literally ignited or engulfed in flames, used of physical combustion or eschatological conflagration. In Eph 6:16 the 'flaming arrows' (pepyromina) of the evil one are set on fire; in 2 Pet 3:12 the heavenly elements 'being set on fire' (pyromenoi) will be dissolved. Arabic 'mushtaʿila' (blazing), Hebrew 'niv'arim' (burning), and Spanish 'encendidos / siendo encendidos' (ignited) point to literal physical combustion. 2×

Senses
1. burn with passion or distress — To burn figuratively with intense inner emotion, whether sexual desire or emotional anguish. In 1 Cor 7:9 Paul advises that it is better to marry than 'to burn' (pyrous thai) with uncontrolled desire; in 2 Cor 11:29 he asks 'who is caused to stumble and I do not burn (pyroumai)?' expressing sympathetic indignation. Multilingual glosses confirm the metaphorical sense: Arabic 'altahib' (inflame), Hebrew 'bo'er' (burn), Spanish 'me quemo / quemarse'. 2×

2. refine by fire — To purify metal through smelting, used metaphorically of divine purification. In Rev 1:15 the feet of the glorified Christ are likened to bronze 'having been refined' (pepyromenes) in a furnace; in Rev 3:18 Christ counsels buying gold 'having been refined' (pepyromenon) by fire. Korean 'danryeondoen' (tempered/refined), Spanish 'refinada/refinado', and Hebrew 'melubenet / metsuraf' (smelted/refined) all confirm the metallurgical purification sense distinct from mere burning. 2×
