Usage: The Greek word "adialeiptós" is used to describe something that is constant or without interruption. In the New Testament, it often refers to actions or states that are to be maintained persistently, such as prayer or thanksgiving. The term emphasizes the importance of perseverance and consistency in spiritual practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of persistence was highly valued, especially in philosophical and religious contexts.
