Berean Strong's Lexicon
kakoucheó: To mistreat, to oppress, to afflict

Original Word: κακοῦχεω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: kakoucheó
Pronunciation: kak-oo-kheh'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (kak-oo-kheh'-o)
Definition: To mistreat, to oppress, to afflict
Meaning: I treat evilly, hurt, torment.

Word Origin: From the Greek words κακός (kakos, meaning "bad" or "evil") and ἔχω (echó, meaning "to have" or "to hold").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6040 (עָנִי, aniy): Often translated as "affliction" or "poverty," reflecting a state of being oppressed or in distress.

- H3905 (לָחַץ, lachats): Meaning "to press" or "to oppress," used to describe the act of causing distress or hardship.

Usage: The verb κακοῦχεω (kakoucheó) is used to describe the act of causing suffering or hardship to others, often through persecution or oppression. It conveys a sense of enduring mistreatment or being subjected to harsh conditions. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the experiences of those who suffer for their faith or are oppressed by others.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, persecution and mistreatment were common experiences for early Christians. The Roman Empire, with its diverse religious practices, often viewed the monotheistic and exclusive claims of Christianity with suspicion. This led to periods of intense persecution, where Christians were mistreated, imprisoned, or even executed for their faith. The use of κακοῦχεω reflects the reality of these hardships and the endurance required by believers to remain faithful under such conditions.
