It is often used metaphorically to describe the process of something coming into being or being produced. In a spiritual context, it can refer to the birth of spiritual life or the manifestation of sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of birth was not only a physical process but also a metaphor for creation and the emergence of new life or ideas. The use of ἀποκυέω in the New Testament reflects this broader understanding, applying it to both physical and spiritual realities. The metaphorical use of birth imagery was common in Jewish and early Christian thought, often symbolizing transformation and new beginnings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and kueó, an older form of kuó (to be pregnant)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to give birth to<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brings forth (1), brought...forth (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 616: ἀποκυέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποκυέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποκύω</span>, or <span class="greek2">ἀποκύω</span> (hence, 3 person singular present either <span class="greek2">ἀποκύει</span> (so <span class="manuref">WH</span>) or <span class="greek2">ἀποκύει</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-15.htm">James 1:15</a>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 88 (84); <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 62 (54)); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπεκύησα</span>; (<span class="greek2">κύω</span>, or <span class="greek2">κυέῶ</span>, to be pregnant; cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἔγκυος</span></span>); <span class="accented">to bring forth</span> from the womb, give birth to: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-15.htm">James 1:15</a>; <span class="accented">to produce,</span> <a href="/interlinear/james/1-18.htm">James 1:18</a>.
