Usage: The term ἀπορίπτω is used in the context of discarding or rejecting something, often with a sense of decisiveness or finality.

Context: The Greek verb ἀπορίπτω appears in the New Testament to convey the action of casting away or rejecting something that is no longer desired or deemed unworthy. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the act of rejecting ideas, behaviors, or even individuals that do not align with one's values or beliefs.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀπορίπτω is used to illustrate the concept of decisively discarding what is considered unworthy or unnecessary. This action is not merely a casual dismissal but a deliberate and often forceful rejection. The term underscores the importance of discernment and the willingness to part with what hinders spiritual growth or moral integrity.

The use of ἀπορίπτω in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the call to holiness and the need to separate oneself from sin and worldly influences. It reflects the transformative journey of the believer, who is encouraged to cast off the old self and embrace a new life in Christ.
