Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kindunos," the concept of danger is expressed in the Old Testament through words like "tsarah" (H6869), meaning distress or trouble, and "sakkanah" (H5550), meaning danger or peril.

Usage: The term "kindunos" refers to situations of danger or peril, often implying a threat to life or well-being. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical, spiritual, or situational threats faced by individuals, particularly those encountered by the apostles and early Christians in their mission to spread the Gospel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of danger was prevalent due to frequent travel, political unrest, and persecution. The early Christians often faced dangers from both natural and human sources, including shipwrecks, imprisonment, and hostility from those opposed to their message. The use of "kindunos" in the New Testament reflects the real and present threats faced by believers as they navigated a world often hostile to their faith.
