◄ 483. antilegó ►
Strong's Lexicon antilegó: To speak against, to oppose, to contradict Original Word: ἀντιλέγω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: antilegó Pronunciation: an-tee-LEG-oh Phonetic Spelling: (an-til'-eg-o) Definition: I speak or say in opposition, contradict (oppose, resist). Meaning: To speak against, to oppose, to contradict. Word Origin: Derived from ἀντί (anti, meaning "against") and λέγω (legō, meaning "to speak"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντιλέγω, similar concepts of opposition or contradiction can be found in Hebrew words such as: • H6145 עָרַר (arar): To rouse oneself, to awake, to incite. • H4784 מָרָה (marah): To be rebellious, to be disobedient, to resist. These Hebrew terms capture the essence of opposition and resistance, akin to the Greek ἀντιλέγω, within the context of the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The term ἀντιλέγω is used in the New Testament to describe verbal opposition or contradiction, often in the context of disputing or resisting a message or authority. Context: The Greek verb ἀντιλέγω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating the act of speaking against or opposing. This term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups resist or contradict the teachings of Jesus or the apostles. It conveys a sense of active opposition, whether through verbal dispute or by standing against a particular doctrine or authority. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀντιλέγω is used in passages such as: • Luke 2:34: "Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: 'Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against (ἀντιλέγω).'" • Acts 13:45: "But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict (ἀντιλέγω) what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him." • Romans 10:21: "But concerning Israel He says: 'All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.'" • Titus 1:9: "He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose (ἀντιλέγω) it." These examples highlight the resistance faced by early Christian figures and the challenges in spreading the Gospel message. The opposition often came from those who were entrenched in traditional beliefs or who felt threatened by the new teachings.
