Strong's Lexicon hupakoé: Obedience Original Word: ὑπακοή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὑπακούω (hupakouō), meaning "to listen, to obey." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the concept of obedience is often expressed by the Hebrew word שָׁמַע (shama, Strong's H8085), meaning "to hear, listen, or obey." Usage: The term "hupakoé" primarily denotes the act of obedience, submission, or compliance to authority. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the obedience of believers to God, Christ, or the gospel. It implies a listening that leads to action, reflecting a heart aligned with divine will. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, obedience was a valued virtue, often associated with the hierarchical structures of society, such as the family, military, and civic life. In the Jewish context, obedience was central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, as seen in the Law. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, emphasize obedience as a response to the grace and lordship of Jesus Christ, contrasting it with the disobedience that characterized humanity's fall.
