Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a bed or lying down is מִשְׁכָּב (mishkav), Strong's Hebrew 4904. This term is used in the Old Testament to describe a bed or place of lying down, and it can also carry connotations of sexual relations, similar to the Greek "κοίτη." Usage: The word "κοίτη" is used in the New Testament to describe both a literal bed and metaphorically to refer to sexual relations. It appears in contexts that discuss moral and ethical behavior, particularly in relation to sexual conduct. Context: The Greek word "κοίτη" is found in several New Testament passages, where it is used both literally and metaphorically. In Romans 13:13, Paul admonishes believers to "behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy." Here, "κοίτη" is translated as "sexual immorality," highlighting its metaphorical use to describe illicit sexual behavior.
