Strong's Lexicon apeithés: Disobedient, unbelieving Original Word: ἀπειθής Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: apeithés Pronunciation: ah-pay-THAYS Phonetic Spelling: (ap-i-thace') Definition: Disobedient, unbelieving Meaning: unbelieving, disobedient, who will not be persuaded. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀπειθέω (apeitheō), meaning "to disobey" or "to be unpersuaded." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with disobedience is מָרָה (marah), which means "to be rebellious" or "to be contentious." Usage: The term "apeithés" is used in the New Testament to describe a state of being unpersuaded or disobedient, often in the context of a refusal to believe or comply with God's commands. It conveys a sense of willful rebellion or obstinacy against divine authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, obedience to authority was a significant cultural value, both in civic and religious contexts. The concept of "apeithés" would have been understood as a serious character flaw, especially in a religious sense, where it implied a rejection of divine truth and guidance. In the Jewish context, disobedience to God's law was seen as a grave sin, often leading to communal and personal consequences.
