Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ἄγω (agō, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of bringing or inflicting something upon someone can be related to several Hebrew verbs. Some possible corresponding Hebrew entries include:
• Strong's Hebrew 935 (בּוֹא, bo) – to come, to bring
• Strong's Hebrew 5060 (נָגַע, naga) – to touch, to strike, to inflict

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of introducing or inflicting something upon a person or situation, aligning with the thematic use of ἐπάγω in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The verb ἐπάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of bringing something upon someone, often in the context of judgment or consequences. It can also imply leading or introducing something into a situation.

Context: The Greek verb ἐπάγω appears in the New Testament with the primary sense of bringing or inflicting something upon someone or something. It is often used in contexts where a negative consequence or judgment is introduced. The term combines the idea of direction or focus (ἐπί) with the action of leading or bringing (ἄγω), suggesting an intentional act of causing an effect or result.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐπάγω is used in passages that highlight the consequences of actions or the introduction of divine judgment. For example, in 2 Peter 2:1, the term is used to describe false teachers who "bring upon themselves swift destruction" due to their heresies. This usage underscores the concept of self-inflicted consequences as a result of one's actions.

The verb can also be found in contexts where it describes the introduction of a new element or influence into a situation, often with significant impact. The use of ἐπάγω in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the cause-and-effect relationship inherent in moral and spiritual actions, emphasizing the accountability and repercussions that follow.
