Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 317: ἀναγκαστῶςἀναγκαστῶς, adverb, by force or constraint; opposed to ἑκουσίως, 1 Peter 5:2. (Plato, Ax., p. 366 a.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀναγκάζω (anankazō), meaning "to compel" or "to force."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναγκαστός, the concept of compulsion or necessity can be found in several Hebrew terms. One such term is חָזַק (chazaq • Strong's Hebrew 2388), which can mean "to strengthen" or "to force." Another related term is כָּפָה (kaphah • Strong's Hebrew 3729), meaning "to bend" or "to subdue," often used in contexts of compulsion or coercion. These terms reflect similar themes of external pressure and necessity found in the Greek concept of ἀναγκαστός. Usage: The term ἀναγκαστός is not directly used in the New Testament. However, its root verb ἀναγκάζω appears in several contexts where compulsion or necessity is implied. Context: The term ἀναγκαστός, while not directly appearing in the New Testament, is closely related to the concept of compulsion and necessity as seen in its root verb ἀναγκάζω. This verb is used in various passages to describe situations where individuals are compelled to act, often against their will or under external pressure. For example, in Luke 14:23, the master instructs his servant to "compel them to come in," illustrating the urgency and necessity of the invitation to the banquet. Similarly, in Acts 26:11, Paul describes how he "tried to force" believers to blaspheme, highlighting the coercive measures he once employed. The concept of compulsion in the biblical context often carries a negative connotation, suggesting actions that are not freely chosen but are instead driven by external forces or obligations. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of free will and the importance of voluntary faith and obedience.
