Berean Strong's Lexicon
antipiptó: To oppose, to resist, to fall against

Original Word: ἀντιπίπτω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: antipiptó
Pronunciation: an-tee-PEEP-to
Phonetic Spelling: (an-tee-pip'-to)
Definition: To oppose, to resist, to fall against
Meaning: I resist, oppose, fall against or upon.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀντί (anti, meaning "against") and πίπτω (pipto, meaning "to fall" or "to fall upon").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of resistance or opposition in the Hebrew Bible can be seen in words like סָרַר (sarar, Strong's H5637), which means to be stubborn or rebellious, and עָמַד (amad, Strong's H5975), which can mean to stand against or oppose.

Usage: The verb ἀντιπίπτω is used to describe an action of opposition or resistance. It conveys the idea of standing against or actively resisting something or someone. In the context of the New Testament, it often implies a spiritual or moral resistance, particularly against divine authority or guidance.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of resistance was often associated with military or athletic imagery, where standing firm against an opponent was crucial. In the Jewish context, resistance could also be seen in terms of standing against idolatry or unrighteousness. The New Testament usage reflects a spiritual dimension, emphasizing the importance of aligning with God's will rather than resisting it.
