It implies a lack or shortcoming that results in a form of defeat or loss. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a spiritual or moral failing, particularly in the context of the consequences of sin or disobedience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "héttéma" would have been understood in terms of honor and shame, where any form of defeat or shortcoming was seen as a loss of honor. In the Jewish context, it would resonate with the idea of falling short of God's standards, as outlined in the Law. The early Christian community would have understood it as a call to spiritual vigilance and moral integrity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2274.htm">héttaomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>loss<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>defeat (1), failure (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 2275: ἥττημα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἥττημα</span></span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 7; <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 166), <span class="greek2">ἡτηματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, (<span class="greek2">ἡττάομαι</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a diminution, decrease</span>: i. e. <span class="accented">defeat,</span> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/31-8.htm">Isaiah 31:8</a>; <span class="greek2">αὐτῶν</span>, brought upon the Jewish people in that so few of them had turned to Christ, <a href="/interlinear/romans/11-12.htm">Romans 11:12</a> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
