Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anekleiptos," similar concepts can be found in words like "חֶסֶד" (chesed, Strong's H2617), often translated as "steadfast love" or "lovingkindness," which conveys the idea of God's enduring and unfailing love.

In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to qualities or attributes that are enduring and steadfast, particularly in relation to God's nature or the believer's faith.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of something being unfailing or unceasing was significant, especially in philosophical and religious contexts. The idea of constancy and reliability was highly valued, and this term would have resonated with early Christians who were encouraged to remain steadfast in their faith amidst persecution and trials.
