Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down") and πίπτω (pipto, meaning "to fall"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "katapiptó," the concept of falling or apostasy can be related to Hebrew words like נָפַל (naphal, Strong's H5307), which means "to fall." Usage: The verb "katapiptó" is used to describe the action of falling down or falling away. It can imply a physical descent or a metaphorical decline, such as a loss of faith or moral standing. In the New Testament, it often conveys a sense of spiritual or moral failure. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, falling was often associated with defeat or disgrace. The concept of falling away from faith or moral standards was a significant concern in early Christian communities, which faced external pressures and internal challenges. The imagery of falling was used to warn believers about the dangers of apostasy and moral compromise.
