It implies the act of encapsulating the main points or essence of a discussion or argument. In the context of biblical literature, it often refers to the summation of theological or doctrinal points.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of summarizing or bringing things to a head was important in rhetoric and philosophy. The ability to distill complex ideas into a concise summary was highly valued. This concept is reflected in the use of κεφαλαιόω in biblical texts, where it serves to encapsulate key theological truths or moral teachings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a dim. of <a href="/greek/2776.htm">kephalé</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to strike on the head<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wounded...in the head (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 2775: κεφαλαιόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κεφαλαιόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κεφαλαιω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐκεφαλαιωσα</span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἐκεφαλιωσα</span> (see below)); (<span class="greek2">κεφάλαιον</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to bring under heads, to sum up, to summarize</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> in an unusual sense, <span class="accented">to smite or wound in the head</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-4.htm">Mark 12:4</a>.
