It can imply a sense of abandonment or forsaking, often with a negative connotation. However, it can also simply mean to leave something remaining or to leave something for a purpose.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of leaving or forsaking was significant in both familial and social contexts. Loyalty to family and community was highly valued, and to abandon one's responsibilities or relationships could be seen as a serious breach of duty. In the biblical context, the idea of God or individuals forsaking others carries deep theological implications, often related to covenant faithfulness or judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and <a href="/greek/3007.htm">leipó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to leave, leave behind<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abandoned (1), left (3), remains (3).<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 620: ἀπολείπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπολείπω</span></span>: (imperfect <span class="greek2">ἀπελειπον</span>, <span class="manuref">WH</span> text in <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-13.htm">2 Timothy 4:13, 20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5</a>); 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπέλιπον</span>; (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to leave, leave behind</span>: one in some place, <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-18.htm">2 Timothy 4:18, 20</a>.
