Strong's Lexicon ektos: outside, without, except Original Word: ἐκτός Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: ektos Pronunciation: ek-tos' Phonetic Spelling: (ek-tos') Definition: outside, without, except Meaning: (a) adv: (1) without, outside, beyond, (2) except, (3) subst: the outside, (b) prep: outside, apart from. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ek" (G1537), meaning "out of" or "from." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is חוּץ (chuts - H2351), meaning "outside" or "without." Usage: The Greek preposition "ektos" primarily means "outside" or "without." It is used to denote something that is external or apart from a particular group or place. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of exclusion or separation from a specific context or group. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "outside" or "without" often carried significant social and religious implications. Being outside a city or community could imply exclusion from its protections and benefits. In Jewish culture, being outside the camp or community could signify ritual impurity or separation from the covenant community. The use of "ektos" in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, often highlighting the distinction between those who are part of the faith community and those who are not.
