It is used in the context of correction or retribution, often with the implication of moral or disciplinary action. In the New Testament, it conveys the idea of divine punishment or correction, reflecting God's justice and holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of punishment was often linked to the idea of maintaining order and justice within society. Punishment was seen as a necessary response to wrongdoing, both to correct the offender and to serve as a deterrent to others. In the biblical context, punishment is often associated with God's righteous judgment, emphasizing His role as the ultimate judge who disciplines His people for their good and His glory.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2849</b> <i>kolázō</i> – properly, to dwarf, mutilate (curtail); used of punishing slaves to <i>incapacitate</i> them; hence, to <i>punish</i> (cause <i>agony</i>) to <i>curtail</i> ("dock/check," <i>Abbott-Smith</i>), i.e. in a way that restrains (impedes, restricts).</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 kolos (docked)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to chastise<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>punish (1), punishment (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 2849: κολαζο</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κολαζο</span></span>: present passive participle <span class="greek2">κολαζόμενος</span>; 1 aorist middle sub. junc. 3 person plural <span class="greek2">κολάσωνται</span>; (<span class="greek2">κόλος</span> lopped); in Greek writings: <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> properly, <span class="accented">to lop, prune,</span> as trees, wings. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to check, curb, restrain</span>. <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">to chastise, correct, punish</span>: so in the N.
