Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκπίπτω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words such as נָפַל (naphal, Strong's Hebrew 5307), which means "to fall," and סוּר (sur, Strong's Hebrew 5493), meaning "to turn aside" or "to depart." These terms capture the essence of falling away or departing from a path or state, akin to the Greek ἐκπίπτω. Usage: The term ἐκπίπτω is used in various contexts within the New Testament, often metaphorically, to describe a falling away from faith, grace, or a previous state of being. It can also refer to the literal act of falling or failing. Context: The Greek verb ἐκπίπτω appears in several New Testament passages, each illustrating a different aspect of its meaning. In Galatians 5:4, Paul uses ἐκπίπτω to describe those who seek justification through the law, stating, "You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." Here, ἐκπίπτω conveys a spiritual decline or separation from the grace found in Christ.
