Strong's Lexicon arneomai: To deny, to disown, to reject Original Word: ἀρνέομαι Word Origin: Middle voice from Greek root ἀρ- (ar-), related to the concept of denial or rejection. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of denial can be related to Hebrew words such as כָּחַשׁ (kachash - H3584), meaning to lie or deny, and מָאַס (ma'as - H3988), meaning to reject or refuse. Usage: The Greek verb ἀρνέομαι (arneomai) primarily means to deny or disown. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of refusing to acknowledge or accept someone or something. This term often carries a strong connotation of rejection or repudiation, particularly in the context of faith and allegiance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public acknowledgment or denial of allegiance was a significant act, often tied to one's social and religious identity. In the context of early Christianity, confessing or denying Christ had profound implications, sometimes leading to persecution or martyrdom. The act of denial was not merely a personal decision but a public declaration that could affect one's standing within the community and before God.
