Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνέκλειπτος, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe God's eternal and unchanging nature. Some related Strong's Hebrew entries include:
H5769 (עוֹלָם, olam): Often translated as "everlasting" or "eternal," indicating perpetuity.
H530 (אֱמוּנָה, emunah): Meaning "faithfulness" or "steadfastness," reflecting reliability and constancy.
H3808 (לֹא, lo): A negative particle used to express negation, similar to the Greek prefix ἀ-.

These Hebrew terms, like ἀνέκλειπτος, convey the enduring and unfailing aspects of God's character and His promises to His people.

Usage: The term ἀνέκλειπτος is used to describe something that does not fail or cease, often in the context of divine attributes or eternal truths.

Context: The Greek word ἀνέκλειπτος is a compound word that combines the negative prefix ἀ- with the verb ἐκλείπω, which means "to fail" or "to cease." This construction conveys the idea of something that is unfailing or unceasing. In the New Testament, this term is used to emphasize the perpetual nature of certain divine qualities or promises. It underscores the reliability and constancy of God's character and His eternal purposes.

The concept of unfailing or unceasing attributes is significant in biblical theology, as it assures believers of the steadfastness of God's love, mercy, and faithfulness. This assurance is foundational to the Christian faith, providing believers with confidence in God's promises and His eternal plan for salvation.

While the specific term ἀνέκλειπτος may not appear frequently in the New Testament, the underlying concept is pervasive throughout Scripture. It is reflected in passages that speak of God's eternal nature, His unchanging character, and His everlasting covenant with His people. For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, James 1:17 states, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." This verse highlights the unchanging and unfailing nature of God, which is consistent with the meaning of ἀνέκλειπτος.
