Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb πίπτω (piptō, meaning "to fall").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποπίπτω, similar concepts can be found in the Hebrew Scriptures, where terms like נָפַל (naphal, Strong's Hebrew 5307, meaning "to fall") and סוּר (sur, Strong's Hebrew 5493, meaning "to turn aside" or "to depart") are used to describe falling away or turning from a path. These terms highlight the recurring biblical theme of remaining faithful to God's covenant and the consequences of spiritual decline.

Usage: The term ἀποπίπτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of falling away or being removed from a position or state. It can be used both literally and metaphorically.

Context: The Greek verb ἀποπίπτω appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of falling away or being removed from a certain state or condition. This term is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a spiritual or moral decline, where an individual or group departs from a previously held position of faith or righteousness.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποπίπτω is used in contexts that emphasize the importance of steadfastness and the dangers of apostasy. The term underscores the necessity for believers to remain vigilant and committed to their faith, avoiding the pitfalls of spiritual complacency or moral decay.

The concept of falling away is a significant theme in the New Testament, where believers are frequently warned against the dangers of turning away from the truth. The use of ἀποπίπτω serves as a reminder of the fragility of human commitment and the need for divine grace to sustain one's spiritual journey.
