V. disrepute), Acts 19:27. (Not used by secular authors.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀπολέγω (apolego), meaning "to speak off" or "to reject."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπελεγμός, the concept of refutation or denial can be related to Hebrew terms such as כָּחַשׁ (kachash, Strong's Hebrew 3584), which means "to deny" or "to disavow," and רִיב (rib, Strong's Hebrew 7378), which means "to contend" or "to dispute." These terms reflect similar themes of verbal rejection or defense found in the Old Testament. Usage: The word ἀπελεγμός is not directly found in the New Testament text but is understood in the context of Greek language usage as a term for refutation or denial. Context: The term ἀπελεγμός, while not appearing in the canonical New Testament, is significant in understanding the broader context of Greek language and its influence on biblical texts. The concept of refutation or denial is present in various biblical narratives, where individuals or groups reject certain teachings or accusations. For example, in the New Testament, the act of refuting false teachings or denying accusations against the faith is a recurring theme. The Berean Standard Bible captures similar concepts in passages where the apostles and early Christians defend their beliefs against opposition. The idea of ἀπελεγμός can be seen in the broader context of apologetics and the defense of the faith, as believers are called to "contend earnestly for the faith" (Jude 1:3, BSB) and to "always be prepared to give a defense" (1 Peter 3:15, BSB).
