Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of reflexivity in Hebrew is often expressed through different grammatical constructions rather than a direct equivalent to σεαυτοῦ. However, the idea of self-reflection and personal responsibility can be seen in various Hebrew terms and phrases, such as נֶפֶשׁ (nephesh, Strong's 5315) which can denote the self or soul, and the use of reflexive verb forms in Hebrew grammar.

Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to emphasize actions or attitudes directed towards oneself. It appears in various contexts, often to highlight personal responsibility or self-reflection.

Context: The Greek term σεαυτοῦ (seautou) is a reflexive pronoun that appears in the New Testament to denote actions or attitudes directed towards oneself. It is used to emphasize personal responsibility, self-examination, or self-care. The term is found in several key passages, illustrating its theological and moral implications.

For example, in Luke 10:27, the command to "love your neighbor as yourself" underscores the importance of self-love as a standard for loving others. This reflects the biblical principle that understanding and valuing oneself is foundational to ethical relationships with others.

In Romans 14:22, Paul advises believers to "keep your faith to yourself," highlighting the personal nature of faith and the importance of individual conviction in matters of conscience. This usage underscores the New Testament's emphasis on personal responsibility in one's spiritual journey.

The term also appears in contexts of self-examination and humility. In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul exhorts believers to "examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith," encouraging introspection and self-assessment as vital components of spiritual growth.

Overall, σεαυτοῦ serves as a reminder of the biblical call to personal accountability, self-awareness, and the proper care of one's spiritual and moral life.
