Strong's Lexicon
anupotaktos: Rebellious, insubordinate, not subject to rule

Original Word: ἀνυπότακτος
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: anupotaktos
Pronunciation: ah-noo-PO-tak-tos
Phonetic Spelling: (an-oo-pot'-ak-tos)
Definition: Rebellious, insubordinate, not subject to rule
Meaning: not subject to rule, unruly.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and the verb ὑποτάσσω (hypotassō, "to subject, to subordinate")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anupotaktos," the concept of rebellion or insubordination can be found in Hebrew words such as מֶרִי (meri, "rebellion") and סָרַר (sarar, "to be stubborn, rebellious").

Usage: The term "anupotaktos" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals or groups who are not submissive to authority, whether it be divine, ecclesiastical, or civil. It conveys a sense of rebellion or refusal to be governed by established order. This word is often used in contexts that emphasize the importance of submission to rightful authority as a reflection of one's relationship with God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, societal order and hierarchy were highly valued, and insubordination was often met with severe consequences. The early Christian community, while advocating for spiritual freedom, also emphasized the importance of order and submission to authority as a testimony to their faith. This was particularly relevant in a context where Christians were often viewed with suspicion and needed to demonstrate their integrity and respect for societal structures.
