It conveys the idea of being fixed, permanent, and not subject to alteration. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the certainty and reliability of God's promises and purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of immutability was often associated with the divine. Gods were considered unchanging in their nature and decrees, which provided a sense of stability and trustworthiness. In the context of the New Testament, this attribute is applied to the God of Israel, highlighting His faithfulness and the certainty of His covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>276</b> <i>ametáthetos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "not" and <a href="/greek/3346.htm">3346</a> <i>/metatíthēmi</i>, "to change position") – properly, no-change-of-position (form); hence, <i>immutable</i>, <i>unchangeable</i>, (unalterable).</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/276.htm">276</a> (<i>ametáthetos</i>) also means<i> immutable</i> in the<i> P Oxy</i> (III. 482, <smallcaps>ad</smallcaps> 109) – referring to a "will <i>unchanged</i> at death" (<i>MM</i>, 25).]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/3346.htm">metatithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>immutable, unchangeable<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>unchangeable (1), unchangeableness (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 276: ἀμετάθετος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμετάθετος</span></span>, (<span class="greek2">μετατίθημι</span>), <span class="accented">not transposed, not to be transferred; fixed, unalterable</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-18.htm">Hebrews 6:18</a>; <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἀμετάθετον</span> as a substantive, <span class="accented">immutability,</span> <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-17.htm">Hebrews 6:17</a>.
