It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of selling goods or property, as well as metaphorically to describe being under the power or influence of sin, as in being "sold under sin."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of selling was integral to daily life, encompassing the trade of goods, property, and even people. Slavery was a common institution, and individuals could be sold into slavery due to debt or as a result of war. The metaphorical use of "pipraskó" in the New Testament reflects the pervasive nature of sin and the human condition of being enslaved to sin without the redemptive power of Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from pernémi (to export for sale)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to sell<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sales (1), selling (1), sold (7).<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 4097: πιπράσκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πιπράσκω</span></span>: imperfect <span class="greek2">ἐπίπρασκον</span>; perfect <span class="greek2">πέπρακα</span>; passive, present participle <span class="greek2">πιπρασκόμενος</span>; perfect participle <span class="greek2">πεπραμένος</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐπράθην</span>; (from <span class="greek2">περάω</span> to cross, to transport to a distant land); from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">מָכַר</span>; <span class="accented">to sell</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-46.htm">Matthew 13:46</a> (on the use of the perfect, cf. <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>' Glossary, etc., Introduction, § 82, 4) <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-45.htm">Acts 2:45</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-34.htm">Acts 4:34</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/5-4.htm">Acts 5:4</a>; with the genitive of price, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-9.htm">Matthew 26:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-5.htm">Mark 14:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/12-5.htm">John 12:5</a> (<a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/21-14.htm">Deuteronomy 21:14</a>); <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, one into slavery, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/18-25.htm">Matthew 18:25</a>; hence, metaphorically, <span class="greek2">πεπραμένος</span> <span class="greek2">ὑπό</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">ἁμαρτίαν</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
