Derivation
from G3164 (μάχομαι);
Appears 4 times in Scripture
“But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.”
“But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.”
“What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?”
“For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.”
When máchē is spoken over you
Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what máchē means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.
Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Titus 3:9 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
