Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "homologoumenós," the concept of confession can be related to Hebrew terms like יָדָה (yadah, Strong's H3034), which means "to give thanks" or "to confess."

Usage: The term "homologoumenós" is used to describe something that is confessed or acknowledged openly. In the New Testament, it often refers to the confession of faith or the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as Lord. It implies a public declaration or agreement with a truth, particularly in the context of Christian doctrine and belief.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public confession or acknowledgment was a significant act, often associated with legal or religious declarations. For early Christians, confessing Christ was a profound statement of faith, sometimes made under the threat of persecution. The act of confession was not merely verbal but was expected to be reflected in one's life and actions, demonstrating a commitment to the teachings of Jesus.
