Berean Strong's Lexicon epithanatios: Doomed to die, sentenced to death Original Word: ἐπιθανάτιος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐπί" (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and "θάνατος" (thanatos, meaning "death"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epithanatios," the concept of being condemned or facing death can be related to Hebrew terms like "מוֹת" (maveth, Strong's H4194), meaning "death." Usage: The term "epithanatios" is used to describe someone who is condemned to die or is facing imminent death. It conveys a sense of being under a death sentence or in a state of mortal peril. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the apostles' experience of constant danger and persecution for the sake of the Gospel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, being sentenced to death was a common punishment for various crimes, and public executions were a part of the judicial system. The early Christians, including the apostles, often faced persecution and the threat of death due to their faith and proclamation of Jesus Christ as Lord. This term reflects the harsh realities and the life-threatening situations that early Christians endured.
