Usage: The Greek verb "metaballó" primarily means to change or alter in form, nature, or state. It conveys the idea of transformation or a significant shift in condition or perspective. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a change in attitude or circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of change was often associated with philosophical discussions about the nature of reality and the cosmos.
