In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of persecution, where individuals or groups are pursued with the intent to oppress or harm. It can also mean to earnestly strive for or press forward towards a goal, reflecting a sense of urgency and determination.Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of pursuit was familiar in various contexts, from hunting to legal actions. The early Christians, living under Roman rule, often faced persecution for their faith, making the term "διώκω" particularly relevant. The word captures both the physical and ideological pursuit faced by believers, as well as the spiritual pursuit of righteousness and the Kingdom of God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>1377 diṓkō – properly, aggressively chase, like a hunter pursuing a catch (prize). <a href="/greek/1377.htm">1377</a> (diṓkō) is used positively ("earnestly pursue") and negatively ("zealously persecute, hunt down").
