Strong's Lexicon apothnéskó: To die, to perish Original Word: ἀποθνῄσκω Word Origin: From the combination of ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and θνῄσκω (thnéskó, meaning "to die"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - מוּת (muwth) - H4191: Often used in the Old Testament to denote death, both physical and spiritual. Usage: The Greek verb ἀποθνῄσκω (apothnéskó) primarily means "to die" or "to perish." It is used in the New Testament to describe physical death, spiritual death, and metaphorical death. The term can refer to the cessation of life, the end of earthly existence, or the spiritual state of being separated from God due to sin. It is often used in contexts that highlight the mortality of human beings and the consequences of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, death was a significant and often feared event, surrounded by various cultural beliefs and rituals. The New Testament context, however, presents death with a dual perspective: as a consequence of sin (Romans 6:23) and as a defeated enemy through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). The early Christians viewed physical death as a transition to eternal life for believers, emphasizing hope and victory over death through faith in Christ. HELPS Word-studies 599 apothnḗskō (from 575 /apó, "away from," which intensifies 2348 /thnḗskō, "to die") – properly, die off (away from), focusing on the separation that goes with the "dying off (away from)." 599 /apothnḗskō ("die off, from") occurs 111 times in the NT. It stresses the significance of the separation that always comes with divine closure. 599 (apothnḗskō) stresses the ending of what is "former" – to bring what (naturally) follows.
