It implies a focused attention or consideration, often with the intent of discerning or understanding. In the New Testament, it is used to encourage believers to be vigilant and discerning in their spiritual lives.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "skopeó" would have been familiar in various contexts, such as in military or athletic settings where watchfulness and focus were crucial. The term conveys the idea of keeping one's eyes fixed on a goal or being alert to potential dangers. This cultural understanding enriches its application in the New Testament, where spiritual vigilance is a recurring theme.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4649.htm">skopos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to look at, contemplate<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>keep your eye on (1), look (2), looking (1), observe (1), watch (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 4648: σκοπέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σκοπέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σκόπω</span>; (<span class="greek2">σκοπός</span>, which see); from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to look at, observe, contemplate. to mark</span>: absolutely, followed by <span class="greek2">μή</span> with the indicative (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">μή</span></span>, III. 2), <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-35.htm">Luke 11:35</a>; <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, to fix one's eyes upon, direct one's attention to, anyone: <a href="/interlinear/romans/16-17.htm">Romans 16:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/philippians/3-17.htm">Philippians 3:17</a>; <span class="greek2">σεαυτόν</span>, followed by <span class="greek2">μή</span> with the subjunctive <span class="accented">to look to, take heed to thyself, lest</span> etc. <a href="/interlinear/galatians/6-1.htm">Galatians 6:1</a> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">μή</span></span>, II. 1 b.); <span class="greek2">τί</span>, to look at, i. e. care for, have regard to, a thing: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/4-18.htm">2 Corinthians 4:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-4.htm">Philippians 2:4</a> (2 Macc. 4:5).
