Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποτολμάω, the concept of boldness and courage can be found in Hebrew words such as חָזַק (chazaq, Strong's H2388) meaning "to be strong" or "to be courageous."

Usage: The verb ἀποτολμάω (apotolmaó) conveys the idea of daring to do something, often with a sense of boldness or courage. It implies taking a risk or stepping out in faith, often in the face of potential danger or opposition. In the New Testament, it is used to describe actions that require a significant degree of courage or audacity.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, courage and boldness were highly valued traits, often associated with heroism and virtue. The concept of daring to undertake a challenging task was admired, especially when it involved standing up for one's beliefs or taking a stand against injustice. In the context of early Christianity, believers often faced persecution and hostility, making the act of boldly proclaiming the gospel a significant and courageous endeavor.
