Usage: The verb "lupeó" is used in the New Testament to express the act of causing grief or experiencing sorrow. It conveys a deep emotional pain or distress, often associated with loss, disappointment, or suffering. The term can refer to both physical and emotional anguish, and it is used to describe the sorrow of individuals as well as the grief caused by sin or disobedience.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of grief and sorrow were common in both public and private life. Mourning rituals were an integral part of the culture, and emotional expressions of grief were often seen in response to death, loss, or personal failure. The New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of grief, but it also introduces a Christian perspective that acknowledges sorrow while offering hope through faith in Christ.
