Strong's Lexicon ekpipto: To fall out, to fall away, to fail, to lose, to drop away. Original Word: ἐκπίπτω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ekpipto Pronunciation: ek-PIP-to Phonetic Spelling: (ek-pip'-to) Definition: To fall out, to fall away, to fail, to lose, to drop away. Meaning: I fall out, fall off, fall away; hence in nautical language: I fall off from the straight course; of flowers: I fade away, wither away; I fall from, lose, forfeit; I am cast ashore; I am fruitless. Word Origin: From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb πίπτω (pipto, meaning "to fall"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκπίπτω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like נָפַל (naphal, Strong's H5307), meaning "to fall," which is used in contexts of physical falling or moral/spiritual decline. Usage: The Greek verb ἐκπίπτω (ekpipto) primarily conveys the idea of falling out or away from a place, position, or condition. It can denote a physical falling, such as leaves falling from a tree, or a metaphorical falling, such as losing one's position or failing in some respect. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe a spiritual or moral decline, such as falling away from grace or truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of falling away or losing one's status was significant, as social standing and honor were highly valued. The metaphor of falling was commonly used in literature to describe a decline in fortune or moral standing. In the Jewish context, falling away from God's commandments or covenant was seen as a serious spiritual failure, often leading to calls for repentance and return to faithfulness.
