See definition for ελεος 1656 See definition for οικτιρμος 3628 Both words denote sympathy, fellow-feeling with misery, mercy, compassion. ελεος, however, manifests itself chiefly in acts rather than words, while οικτιρμος is used rather of the inward feeling of compassion which abides in the heart. A criminal might ask for ελεος, mercy, from his judge; but hopeless suffering may be the object of οικτιρμος, compassion. |
