ὑγῐ-αίνω G5198
sound, healthy (doctrine); healthy, well (physical)
1. sound, healthy (doctrine) — Used metaphorically of doctrine and teaching as 'sound' or 'healthy,' meaning doctrinally correct, wholesome, and free from error. The participle ὑγιαίνων/ὑγιαινούσα consistently modifies words for 'teaching' (διδασκαλία) or 'words' (λόγοι) in the Pastoral Epistles. Arabic الصَّحيح (correct/sound), Hebrew בְּרִיאָה/בְּרִאִים (healthy), Hindi स्वस्थ (healthy/wholesome), Korean 건전한 (wholesome/sound), Spanish sano/a (sound/healthy). This is a distinctly Pastoral Epistles usage (1 Tim 1:10, 6:3; 2 Tim 1:13, 4:3; Titus 1:9, 1:13, 2:1, 2:2) where the medical metaphor of health is transferred to orthodoxy of teaching. Includes the subjunctive in Titus 1:13 expressing purpose ('that they may be sound in the faith'). 8×

2. healthy, well (physical) — Describes physical health and bodily wellbeing of persons, used literally of those who are not sick or who have been restored to health. Arabic أَصِحّاءُ/سليم (healthy/sound), Hebrew בָּרִיא (healthy/robust), Hindi स्वस्थ (healthy), Korean 건강한 (healthy), Spanish sano/que están sanos (healthy/in good health). Found in Luke 5:31 (those who are healthy do not need a physician), Luke 7:10 (the servant found healthy), Luke 15:27 (the prodigal son received back 'safe and sound'), and 3 John 1:2 (prayer for physical health). The literal physical denotation is the base meaning from which the doctrinal metaphor derives. 4×
