Strong's Lexicon eikó: Likely, probable, reasonable Original Word: εἰκός Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: eikó Pronunciation: ay-KOS Phonetic Spelling: (i'-ko) Definition: I give way, yield, submit. Meaning: The term εἰκός generally conveys the idea of something that is likely, reasonable, or probable. It is used to describe situations or outcomes that are expected or fitting based on circumstances or logic. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root εἰκω (eiko), meaning "to be like" or "to resemble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εἰκός, the concept of likelihood or reasonableness can be related to Hebrew terms that express wisdom, understanding, or discernment, such as חָכְמָה (chokmah, Strong's 2451) for wisdom, or בִּינָה (binah, Strong's 998) for understanding. These terms similarly convey the idea of aligning with God's order and making decisions that reflect divine insight. Usage: In the New Testament, εἰκός is used to express the concept of likelihood or reasonableness. It is not frequently found in the biblical text but is understood in the context of discussions about what is fitting or expected. Context: The Greek word εἰκός appears in the New Testament to denote what is reasonable or likely to occur. This term is often used in philosophical and rhetorical contexts outside the Bible to discuss the nature of probability and expectation. Within the biblical narrative, εἰκός can be understood as a reflection of the natural order or divine logic, where certain outcomes are anticipated based on God's established principles or human experience. In the Berean Standard Bible, εἰκός is translated in a way that aligns with its meaning of likelihood or reasonableness. The term invites readers to consider the natural or expected course of events, often in light of divine wisdom or moral order. It underscores the importance of discernment and understanding in evaluating situations and making decisions that align with God's will.
