It conveys the idea of someone who takes responsibility for another, ensuring that an obligation or promise is fulfilled. In a legal or financial context, it refers to a guarantor who pledges to fulfill a commitment if the primary party fails to do so.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, the concept of a surety was well understood. It was common for individuals to act as guarantors in financial transactions or legal agreements. This role was significant, as it involved a high level of trust and responsibility. The surety was expected to step in and fulfill the obligation if the original party defaulted. This concept is also reflected in the Old Testament, where the idea of a kinsman-redeemer or a guarantor is present in various legal and familial contexts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from eggué (a security)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>under good security (adjective), guarantee (noun)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>guarantee (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1450: ἔγγυος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔγγυος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐγγύου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">a surety,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Cicero</span> and <span class="manuref">Vulg.</span> <span class="accented">sponsor</span>): <span class="greek2">κρείττονος</span> <span class="greek2">διαθήκης</span> <span class="greek2">ἔγγυος</span>, he by whom we get full assurance of the more excellent covenant made by God with us, and of the truth and stability of the promises connected with it, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-22.htm">Hebrews 7:22</a>.
