Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and ἀξιόω (axioō, meaning "to deem worthy" or "to consider worthy").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταξιόω, similar concepts of being deemed worthy or deserving can be found in Hebrew terms related to honor and worthiness, such as כָּבוֹד (kabod, meaning "glory" or "honor") and חָשַׁב (chashav, meaning "to consider" or "to reckon"). These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of being recognized as worthy in the sight of God or others.

Usage: The verb καταξιόω is used in the New Testament to express the act of considering someone worthy of a particular status or honor. It often implies a recognition of merit or suitability for a specific role or blessing.

Context: The Greek verb καταξιόω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or groups are deemed worthy of certain honors or responsibilities. This term is used to convey the idea of being judged or considered deserving of a particular status, often in a spiritual or moral sense.

In the Berean Standard Bible, καταξιόω is found in passages that highlight the recognition of worthiness by God or by human authorities. For example, in Acts 5:41, the apostles rejoice because they were "counted worthy" to suffer disgrace for the Name of Jesus. This usage underscores the concept of divine approval and the honor associated with enduring trials for the sake of faith.

The term also appears in 2 Thessalonians 1:5, where it is used to describe the believers being "counted worthy" of the kingdom of God, for which they are suffering. Here, καταξιόω emphasizes the connection between enduring persecution and being deemed worthy of entering God's kingdom.

Theological implications of καταξιόω include the understanding that worthiness is not based on human merit alone but is often associated with divine grace and calling. It reflects a recognition of faithfulness and commitment to God's purposes, often in the face of adversity.
