Strong's Lexicon apechei: To have in full, to be distant, to abstain, to receive in full Original Word: ἀπέχει Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and the verb ἔχω (echo, meaning "to have" or "to hold"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπέχει, the concept of receiving in full or being distant can be related to Hebrew terms like שָׁלַם (shalom, Strong's H7999) meaning "to be complete" or "to pay," and רָחַק (rahaq, Strong's H7368) meaning "to be far" or "to distance." Usage: The Greek verb ἀπέχει (apechei) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of having received something in full, being distant or apart, or abstaining from something. It often implies a sense of completion or fulfillment, as in receiving a reward or payment in full. In some contexts, it can also mean to be distant or to abstain from certain actions or behaviors. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of receiving something "in full" was significant in commercial and legal transactions. It indicated that a debt or obligation had been completely satisfied. This term would have been understood by early Christians in the context of both financial dealings and moral or spiritual obligations. The idea of abstaining or being distant also reflects the cultural practices of self-control and separation from certain behaviors or influences.
