Berean Strong's Lexicon adialeiptós: Unceasing, continual Original Word: ἀδιάλειπτος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "a-" (not) and "dialeiptó" (to leave off, cease) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "adialeiptós," the concept of continual devotion and prayer can be seen in Hebrew words like "תָּמִיד" (tamid), meaning continually or perpetually, often used in the context of offerings and worship. 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. The early Christian community, living in a time of persecution and societal challenges, would have understood the necessity of continual devotion and prayer as a means of spiritual survival and growth. The use of "adialeiptós" in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on steadfastness.
