It conveys the idea of steadfastness and unwavering commitment, often in the context of faith or belief. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the importance of holding firm to one's convictions and faith in the face of challenges or opposition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, steadfastness was a valued trait, especially in philosophical and ethical contexts. The concept of being unwavering was associated with moral integrity and reliability. In the early Christian context, steadfastness was particularly significant as believers faced persecution and societal pressure to conform to pagan practices. The call to remain unwavering in faith was both a spiritual and communal exhortation, encouraging believers to support one another in maintaining their commitment to Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/2827.htm">klinó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>unbending<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>without wavering (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 186: ἀκλινής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀκλινής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ές</span> (<span class="greek2">κλίνω</span>), <span class="accented">not inclining, firm, unmoved</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/10-23.htm">Hebrews 10:23</a>.
