Strong's Lexicon klopé: Theft, stealing Original Word: κλοπή Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: klopé Pronunciation: klo-PAY Phonetic Spelling: (klop-ay') Definition: thieving, theft. Meaning: The term κλοπή refers to "theft" or "stealing." It denotes the act of taking something unlawfully or without the owner's consent. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κλέπτω (kleptō), meaning "to steal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 1589: גָּנַב (ganab) • to steal, to carry away secretly. • Strong's Hebrew 1590: גְּנֵבָה (genevah) • theft, stealing. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the concept of theft and are used in the Old Testament to describe acts of stealing, emphasizing the continuity of moral teachings against theft throughout the biblical narrative. Usage: The noun κλοπή is used in the New Testament to describe acts of theft or stealing. It appears in contexts that address moral and ethical teachings, particularly concerning the behavior expected of believers. Context: The term κλοπή is found in the New Testament, where it is used to highlight the sinfulness of theft and the importance of integrity among believers. In Matthew 15:19, Jesus lists theft among other sins that originate from the heart, indicating its moral gravity: "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander." This underscores the internal nature of sin and the need for inner transformation. In Revelation 9:21, κλοπή is mentioned in a list of sins that humanity refuses to repent from, even in the face of divine judgment: "Nor did they repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts." This passage illustrates the hardness of heart and the persistence in sin that characterizes the end times. The use of κλοπή in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the ethical standards expected of Christians. Believers are called to live lives marked by honesty and respect for others' property, reflecting the transformative power of the Gospel in their conduct.
