Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek concept of ὑπακούω is closely related to several Hebrew terms that convey obedience and listening, such as שָׁמַע (shama, Strong's Hebrew 8085), which means "to hear" or "to listen," often with the implication of obedience. Another related term is עָנָה (anah, Strong's Hebrew 6030), which can mean "to respond" or "to answer," sometimes in the context of obedience. These Hebrew terms similarly emphasize the importance of hearing and responding to God's commands. Usage: The verb ὑπακούω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of obedience, often in the context of obeying God, Christ, or authoritative figures. It conveys a sense of attentive listening that results in compliance or submission to what is heard. Context: The term ὑπακούω appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of obedience in the life of a believer. It is used to describe the relationship between children and parents, servants and masters, and believers and God. For instance, in Ephesians 6:1, Paul instructs, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." Here, ὑπακούω underscores the duty of children to listen and submit to parental authority as part of their Christian walk.
