Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H1272 (בָּרַח, barach): To flee, run away • H5127 (נוּס, nus): To flee, escape • H4498 (מָנוֹס, manos): Refuge, escape These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with φεύγω, often used in the Old Testament to describe fleeing from danger or seeking refuge, both physically and spiritually. Usage: The verb φεύγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of fleeing or escaping from danger, persecution, or temptation. It can also imply a moral or spiritual avoidance of sin or evil. Context: The Greek verb φεύγω (pheugō) appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, often conveying the physical act of fleeing from a threatening situation or the metaphorical act of avoiding sin and temptation. This term is used both literally and figuratively, reflecting the dual nature of the Christian life as one of both physical and spiritual vigilance. In a literal sense, φεύγω is used to describe the actions of individuals who escape from physical danger or persecution. For example, in Matthew 2:13, Joseph is instructed to "flee to Egypt" with Mary and the infant Jesus to escape King Herod's massacre. Similarly, in Acts 27:30, sailors attempt to flee from a ship in distress. Figuratively, φεύγω is employed to exhort believers to avoid sin and pursue righteousness. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, Paul admonishes the Corinthians to "flee from sexual immorality," emphasizing the need for moral purity. Likewise, in 1 Timothy 6:11, Timothy is urged to "flee from all this" and instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. The use of φεύγω underscores the active role believers must take in their spiritual journey, recognizing the dangers of sin and the importance of seeking refuge in God's will. It highlights the necessity of discernment and the courage to turn away from evil, trusting in God's protection and guidance.
