Strong's Lexicon periaireó: To remove, take away, strip off. Original Word: περιαιρέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: periaireó Pronunciation: pe-ri-ah-REH-o Phonetic Spelling: (per-ee-ahee-reh'-o) Definition: (a) I strip off, strip from, take away, (b) I cast off, cut adrift, cast loose. Meaning: To remove, take away, or strip off. The term often implies a sense of removal or taking away something that is encumbering or unnecessary. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "περί" (peri), meaning "around" or "about," and the verb "αἱρέω" (haireō), meaning "to take" or "to remove." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of removal or taking away in the Hebrew Bible can be found in several entries, such as Strong's Hebrew 5493 (סוּר, sur), which means "to turn aside" or "to remove," and Strong's Hebrew 7725 (שׁוּב, shub), which means "to return" or "to turn back," often implying a removal or change of state. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of removing obstacles or turning away from sin, aligning with the New Testament usage of περιαιρέω. Usage: The verb περιαιρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of removing or taking away, often in a metaphorical sense. It can refer to the removal of physical objects or metaphorical burdens. Context: The Greek verb περιαιρέω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the removal or taking away of something. It is used in Acts 27:20, where it describes the removal of hope during a storm at sea: "When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we finally abandoned all hope of being saved." Here, περιαιρέω conveys the sense of hope being stripped away due to the dire circumstances faced by Paul and his companions. The term can also be understood in a broader theological context, where it signifies the removal of spiritual burdens or obstacles. In the Christian life, this can be seen as the removal of sin or hindrances that impede one's relationship with God. The act of περιαιρέω, therefore, can be seen as a divine intervention or a personal act of faith, where believers seek to remove anything that separates them from a closer walk with God. The concept of removal is central to the Christian message of redemption and sanctification, where believers are called to lay aside every weight and sin that clings so closely (Hebrews 12:1). In this sense, περιαιρέω is not just a physical act but a spiritual discipline, reflecting the transformative power of God's grace in the life of a believer.
