Usage: The term "κύων" is used in the New Testament to refer to literal dogs and metaphorically to describe individuals who exhibit morally impure or unclean behavior. It is often used in a derogatory sense. Context: The Greek word "κύων" appears in several New Testament passages, often carrying a negative connotation.
