Strong's Lexicon apopiptó: To fall away, to fall off Original Word: ἀποπίπτω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and πίπτω (pipto, meaning "to fall"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποπίπτω, the concept of falling away can be related to Hebrew terms like נָפַל (naphal, Strong's H5307), which means "to fall," and סוּר (sur, Strong's H5493), meaning "to turn aside" or "to depart." Usage: The verb ἀποπίπτω (apopiptó) is used to describe the action of falling away or off from something. In a biblical context, it often conveys a sense of spiritual or moral decline, where an individual or group departs from a previously held position of faith or righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of falling away could be understood both physically and metaphorically. Falling away from a path or standard was often seen as a failure to maintain one's duty or honor. In the context of early Christianity, this term would resonate with the idea of apostasy or turning away from the teachings of Christ and the apostles.
