Strong's Lexicon katégoria: Accusation, charge Original Word: κατηγορία Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατηγορέω (katēgoreō), meaning "to accuse" or "to charge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "katégoria," the concept of accusation is present in the Hebrew Bible, often using terms like שְׁטָנָה (shetanah) meaning "accusation" or "enmity," and רִיב (riv) meaning "dispute" or "contention." Usage: The term "katégoria" refers to an accusation or charge brought against someone. It is used in a legal or judicial context, often implying a formal declaration of wrongdoing or guilt. In the New Testament, it is typically associated with legal proceedings or disputes where accusations are made. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the concept of bringing formal accusations was a common practice. Accusations could be made in public forums or courts, and they played a significant role in maintaining social order and justice. The term "katégoria" would have been understood by early Christians as part of the legal vernacular of the time, often reflecting the adversarial nature of legal disputes.
