Transliteration: anektoteros
Pronunciation: an-ek-TOT-er-os

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἀνέχομαι (anechomai), meaning "to endure" or "to bear."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anektoteros," the concept of divine tolerance or forbearance can be related to Hebrew terms like סָבַל (sabal, Strong's H5445) meaning "to bear" or "to endure."

Usage: The term "anektoteros" is used in the New Testament to describe a comparative degree of tolerance or forbearance. It is often used in the context of divine judgment, indicating that a certain situation or group will receive a more lenient judgment compared to another.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of tolerance was often associated with the ability to endure or bear with something unpleasant. In the Jewish context, the idea of divine judgment was well understood, with varying degrees of punishment or mercy based on one's actions and repentance. The use of "anektoteros" in the New Testament reflects this understanding, emphasizing the seriousness of rejecting the message of Jesus and the apostles.
