The Greek word “ginomai”

Found in every New Testament book but Jude, and found most often in Matthew-Acts, the Greek verb “ginomai” meant “become,” “originate,” “come into being,” “be made,” “be done.”

This verb occurs 667 times in the New Testament and it is primarily used in two ways.  First, it often describes what is to be created, come into being, happen, or describe what is about to be produced.  Second, this term can serve as a substitute for the verb “eimi” (“to be”).
