Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g769 Greek: astheneia

Infirmity:

lit., "want of strength" (a, negative, sthenos, "strength"), "weakness," indicating inability to produce results, is most frequently translated "infirmity," or "infirmities;" in Rom 8:26, the RV has "infirmity" (AV, "infirmities"); in 2Cr 12:5, 9, 10, "weaknesses" and in 2Cr 11:30, "weakness" (AV, "infirmities"); in Luk 13:11 the phrase "a spirit of infirmity" attributes her curvature directly to satanic agency. The connected phraseology is indicative of trained medical knowledge on the part of the writer.

2 Strong's Number: g771 Greek: asthenema

Infirmity:

akin to No. 1, is found in the plural in Rom 15:1, "infirmities," i.e., those scruples which arise through weakness of faith. The strong must support the infirmities of the weak (adunatos) by submitting to self-restraint.

Note: In Luk 7:21, AV, nosos, "a disease," is translated "infirmities" (RV, "diseases").
