Translations: to use help, to employ help, to assist by using, to provide assistance
From the root: ΧΡΑΟΜΑΙ, ΒΟΗΘΕΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound verb, likely formed from a form of 'χράομαι' (chraomai), meaning 'to use' or 'to employ', and 'βοηθέω' (boetheo), meaning 'to help' or 'to assist'. It would therefore mean 'to use help' or 'to employ help', or more broadly, 'to provide assistance' or 'to assist by using/employing something'. The form 'ΧΡΗΤΟΒΟΗΘΩ' specifically suggests a past tense, likely an imperfect or aorist, indicating an action that was ongoing or completed in the past. It's not a commonly attested compound in standard Koine Greek texts, suggesting it might be a unique formation or a less common usage.
