Strong's Lexicon

kataxioó: To deem worthy, to consider worthy

Original Word: καταξιόω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: kataxioó
Pronunciation: kat-ax-ee-OH-o
Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ax-ee-o'-o)
Definition: To deem worthy, to consider worthy
Meaning: I deem (count) worthy.

Word Origin: From the preposition κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "according to") and the verb ἀξιόω (axioó, meaning "to deem worthy" or "to consider worthy").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταξιόω, the concept of worthiness can be related to Hebrew words like כָּבוֹד (kavod, meaning "glory" or "honor") and חָשַׁב (chashav, meaning "to consider" or "to reckon").

Usage: The verb καταξιόω is used in the New Testament to express the act of considering someone or something as worthy or deserving of a particular status, honor, or privilege. It often implies a recognition of value or merit that is attributed to a person or action.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of worthiness was significant in social and religious contexts. Worthiness could determine one's social standing, eligibility for certain roles, or participation in religious rites. The New Testament usage of καταξιόω reflects a theological understanding of worthiness, often in relation to God's kingdom and divine approval.
