STRONGS NT 194: ἄκρατος

ἄκρατος, (κεράννυμι), unmixed, pure: Revelation 14:10 (of wine undiluted with water, as freq. in secular writings and Jeremiah 32:1 ()).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "α-" (a-, meaning "without") and "κράτος" (kratos, meaning "strength" or "power").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἄκρατος, the concept of purity and undiluted essence can be related to several Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings:

- H2889 (טָהוֹר, tahor): Meaning "pure" or "clean," often used in the context of ritual purity and moral cleanliness.
- H1249 (בָּר, bar): Meaning "pure" or "clean," used in various contexts to denote purity in a physical or moral sense.

These Hebrew terms reflect the biblical theme of purity, which is central to the understanding of holiness and the believer's relationship with God.

Usage: The term ἄκρατος is used in ancient Greek literature to describe something that is pure or undiluted, often in reference to wine that has not been mixed with water.

Context: The Greek word ἄκρατος (akraton) appears in the context of ancient Greek culture and language, primarily used to describe wine that is in its purest form, without any dilution. In the New Testament, the concept of purity and undiluted essence can be metaphorically applied to spiritual and moral contexts, although the specific term ἄκρατος does not appear in the canonical texts of the New Testament.

In the broader biblical narrative, the idea of purity is significant, often associated with holiness and the unadulterated nature of God's word and presence. The metaphor of wine is frequently used in the Bible to symbolize joy, blessing, and the covenant relationship between God and His people. The undiluted nature of ἄκρατος wine can thus be seen as a symbol of the pure and untainted relationship that believers are called to have with God.

While ἄκρατος itself is not directly used in the New Testament, the concept aligns with the biblical emphasis on sincerity and authenticity in one's faith and actions. The Berean Standard Bible, like other translations, captures the essence of purity and undiluted devotion in various passages, encouraging believers to maintain a steadfast and genuine faith.
