Strong's Lexicon exelegchó: To expose, to convict, to refute, to reprove Original Word: ἐξελέγχω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb ἐλέγχω (elegchó, meaning "to convict" or "to expose"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of exposing or convicting is יָכַח (yakach, Strong's Hebrew 3198), which means to reprove, rebuke, or correct. Usage: The verb ἐξελέγχω (exelegchó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of exposing or bringing to light something that is hidden, often with the implication of convicting or reproving someone of wrongdoing. It carries a strong sense of revealing truth and correcting error, often in a moral or spiritual context. This term emphasizes the thoroughness of the exposure, suggesting a complete uncovering or laying bare of the matter at hand. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public exposure and reproof were common methods of maintaining social order and moral standards. Philosophers and moralists often engaged in public discourse to expose falsehoods and correct unethical behavior. In the Jewish context, the concept of exposing sin and calling for repentance was deeply rooted in the prophetic tradition, where prophets would often confront the people of Israel with their transgressions and call them back to covenant faithfulness.
