Strong's Lexicon geitón: Neighbor Original Word: γείτων Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine; Noun, Masculine Transliteration: geitón Pronunciation: gay-tone' Phonetic Spelling: (ghi'-tone) Definition: a neighbor. Meaning: A neighbor; one who lives nearby or in close proximity. Word Origin: Derived from the root word γειτονία (geitonia), meaning "neighborhood" or "vicinity." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 7934: שָׁכֵן (shaken) • meaning "neighbor" or "inhabitant." • Strong's Hebrew 7453: רֵעַ (rea) • meaning "friend," "companion," or "neighbor." These Hebrew terms similarly emphasize the relational aspect of living in community and the ethical obligations towards those who are near. They are often used in the Old Testament to describe the social and moral duties one has towards others within the covenant community of Israel. Usage: The term γείτων is used in the New Testament to refer to someone who lives near or next to another person. It is often used in the context of community and social relationships. Context: The Greek word γείτων appears in the New Testament to describe the concept of a neighbor, emphasizing the importance of community and interpersonal relationships within a biblical context. In the Berean Standard Bible, γείτων is used in passages that highlight the social and moral responsibilities individuals have towards those living in close proximity to them. In the Gospel of Luke, the term is used in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37), where Jesus expands the traditional understanding of "neighbor" beyond geographical or ethnic boundaries, illustrating that a neighbor is anyone in need whom one can help. This parable underscores the biblical principle of love and compassion towards others, regardless of their background or relationship to us. The concept of γείτων is also reflected in the teachings of Jesus regarding the greatest commandments, where loving one's neighbor is placed alongside loving God (Mark 12:31). This dual commandment encapsulates the essence of the Law and the Prophets, as it calls for a selfless love that mirrors God's love for humanity. The use of γείτων in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of human relationships and the call to live in harmony and mutual support within communities. It challenges believers to extend kindness and mercy to all, reflecting the character of Christ in their interactions with others.
