In the New Testament, it is used to describe verbal threats or intimidation, often in the context of persecution or opposition to the early Christian community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, threats were a common means of exerting power and control, whether in political, social, or personal contexts. The early Christians often faced threats from both Jewish and Roman authorities as they proclaimed the gospel. Understanding the cultural significance of threats helps to appreciate the courage and faith of the early believers who stood firm in the face of such intimidation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a threat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>threatening (1), threats (2).<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 547: ἀπειλή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπειλή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπειλῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">a threatening, threat</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-17.htm">Acts 4:17</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀπειλέω</span></span>), <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Acts 4:29>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Acts 9:1>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/6-9.htm">Ephesians 6:9</a>.
