STRONGS NT 577: ἀποβάλλω

ἀποβάλλω: 2 aorist ἀπέβαλον; (from Homer down); to throw off, cast away: a garment, Mark 10:50. Tropical, confidence, Hebrews 10:35.

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb βάλλω (ballō, meaning "to throw" or "to cast").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποβάλλω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of casting away or losing. Some related Hebrew terms include:
• שָׁלַךְ (shalach, Strong's 7993): To throw, cast, hurl.
• אָבַד (abad, Strong's 6): To perish, vanish, be lost.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar actions of discarding or losing, providing a conceptual parallel to the Greek ἀποβάλλω in the context of biblical teachings on separation and loss.

Usage: The term ἀποβάλλω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of casting off or losing something. It conveys a sense of separation or removal, often with an implication of intentionality or consequence.

Context: The Greek verb ἀποβάλλω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the act of discarding or losing something. It is a compound word, combining the idea of separation (ἀπό) with the action of throwing or casting (βάλλω). This term is used to describe both physical and metaphorical actions.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποβάλλω is found in passages that illustrate the concept of losing or discarding. For example, in Acts 27:22, during the account of Paul's shipwreck, the term is used to describe the loss of the ship: "But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be lost." Here, ἀποβάλλω underscores the inevitable loss of the ship, contrasting with the preservation of life.

The use of ἀποβάλλω in the New Testament often carries a deeper spiritual or moral implication, suggesting the need to cast off what is unnecessary or detrimental in one's life. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of separation from sin and the pursuit of righteousness.
