Strong's Lexicon hupeikó: To yield, to submit, to give way Original Word: ὑπείκω Word Origin: From the combination of "ὑπό" (hypo, meaning "under") and "εἴκω" (eiko, meaning "to yield" or "to give way"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hupeikó," the concept of submission is present in Hebrew words like "כָּנַע" (kanah, Strong's H3665), which means "to humble" or "to subdue." Usage: The verb "hupeikó" conveys the idea of yielding or submitting, often in the context of giving way to authority or a stronger force. It implies a voluntary act of submission, often for the sake of peace or order. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of yielding to God's will or to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of yielding or submission was often associated with social hierarchies and the expectation of deference to authority figures, such as rulers, elders, or family heads. The early Christian community redefined this concept by emphasizing submission to God and mutual submission among believers, reflecting a counter-cultural approach to power and authority.
