It implies an action that results in damage or detriment to someone or something. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where the well-being of individuals or the integrity of the faith is at risk.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of harm was not only physical but also extended to one's reputation, social standing, and spiritual state. The idea of causing harm was taken seriously, as it could disrupt the social order and personal relationships. In the context of early Christianity, protecting the community from harm, whether from false teachings or persecution, was a significant concern.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a prim. root blab-<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to hurt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>doing...harm (1), hurt (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 984: βλάπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βλάπτω</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">βλαψω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐβλαψα</span>; <span class="accented">to hurt, harm, injure</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/16-18.htm">Mark 16:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/4-35.htm">Luke 4:35</a>.
