Strong's Lexicon blaptó: To harm, to injure, to damage Original Word: βλάπτω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of harm can be related to Hebrew words like "רָעַע" (ra'a, Strong's H7489), which means to do evil or harm. Usage: The Greek verb "βλάπτω" (blaptó) is used to convey the idea of causing harm or injury, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. It implies an action that results in damage or detriment to someone or something. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where the well-being of individuals or the integrity of the faith is at risk. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of harm was not only physical but also extended to one's reputation, social standing, and spiritual state. The idea of causing harm was taken seriously, as it could disrupt the social order and personal relationships. In the context of early Christianity, protecting the community from harm, whether from false teachings or persecution, was a significant concern.
