Prâgma (πρᾶγμα) means a thing done, a matter, an affair. Related to prassō (to do). Broadly covers any matter of concern — legal, moral, or practical.
The word appears in one of Scripture's greatest definitions. Hebrews 11:1: 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things (pragmatōn) not seen.' Faith is conviction about unseen realities — the greatest pragmata are invisible. In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul rebukes taking disputes (pragmata) before secular courts. In Hebrews 6:18, two unchangeable pragmata — God's promise and oath — anchor our hope.
