Strong's Lexicon apeipon: To renounce, to deny, to refuse Original Word: ἀπεῖπον Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: apeipon Pronunciation: ah-PAY-pon Phonetic Spelling: (ap-i-pom'-ane) Definition: I renounce, disown, forbid, refuse. Meaning: The term ἀπεῖπον generally means "to renounce," "to deny," or "to refuse." It conveys the idea of speaking against or rejecting something or someone. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo), meaning "from" or "away," and the verb εἶπον (eipon), meaning "to say" or "to speak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπεῖπον, similar concepts of denial or rejection can be found in Hebrew words such as מָאַס (ma'as • Strong's Hebrew 3988), meaning "to reject" or "to despise," and כָּחַשׁ (kachash • Strong's Hebrew 3584), meaning "to deny" or "to lie." These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of faithfulness versus unfaithfulness, a recurring motif in both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: In the New Testament, ἀπεῖπον is used to describe the act of denying or renouncing, often in the context of faith or allegiance. It can imply a formal or emphatic rejection. Context: The Greek verb ἀπεῖπον appears in contexts where a strong disavowal or rejection is expressed. It is often associated with moments of significant decision or crisis, where an individual must choose to affirm or deny a particular belief or relationship. In the New Testament, this term is notably used in the context of Peter's denial of Jesus, illustrating a moment of human weakness and fear. The act of denial is not merely a passive omission but an active declaration against association or belief. This word underscores the gravity of verbal confession or denial in the early Christian community, where one's spoken word held substantial weight in matters of faith and identity.
