Strong's Lexicon peritrepó: To turn about, to turn away, to pervert Original Word: περιτρέπω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: peritrepó Pronunciation: pe-ree-TREH-po Phonetic Spelling: (per-ee-trep'-o) Definition: I turn round, turn, change. Meaning: To turn around, to turn about, to change direction, or to pervert. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "περί" (peri), meaning "around" or "about," and the verb "τρέπω" (trepo), meaning "to turn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for περιτρέπω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of turning or changing direction, such as: • שׁוּב (shub) • Strong's Hebrew 7725: To turn back, return, or repent. • סוּר (sur) • Strong's Hebrew 5493: To turn aside, depart, or remove. These Hebrew terms reflect the broader biblical theme of turning, whether in the sense of repentance or deviation from the intended path, paralleling the Greek concept of περιτρέπω. Usage: The term περιτρέπω is used in the context of turning something around or altering its course. It can imply a physical turning or a metaphorical change, such as a perversion of truth or intention. Context: The Greek verb περιτρέπω appears in the New Testament with the connotation of turning or altering direction. It is often used metaphorically to describe a change in belief or behavior, particularly in the context of turning away from truth or righteousness. The term suggests a deliberate or significant shift, often with negative implications, such as perverting or distorting what is right or true. In the Berean Standard Bible, περιτρέπω is used to illustrate the concept of turning away from sound doctrine or being led astray by false teachings. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of remaining steadfast in faith and resisting the temptation to deviate from the path of righteousness. The use of περιτρέπω underscores the importance of vigilance in maintaining one's spiritual direction and the dangers of being swayed by external influences. It serves as a warning to believers to guard against false teachings and to remain anchored in the truth of the Gospel.
