In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the act of mortifying or subduing sinful desires and actions. It conveys the idea of putting to death the deeds of the flesh, as part of the believer's sanctification process.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, death was a common and often public event, whether through natural causes, execution, or gladiatorial games. The concept of putting to death, therefore, carried significant weight and was understood both literally and metaphorically. In Jewish thought, death was often associated with sin and separation from God, making the metaphorical use of θανατόω in the New Testament particularly poignant for early Christian audiences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2288.htm">thanatos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to put to death<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cause...to be put to death (1), made to die (1), put...to death (3), putting to death (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 2289: θανατόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θανατόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">θανάτῳ</span>; future <span class="greek2">θανατώσω</span>; 1 aorist infinitive <span class="greek2">θανατῶσαι</span> (3 person plural subjunctive <span class="greek2">θανατώσωσι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-59.htm">Matthew 26:59</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>); passive (present <span class="greek2">θανατοῦμαι</span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐθανατωθην</span>; (from <span class="greek2">θάνατος</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">הֵמִית</span>, <span class="hebrew">הָרַג</span>, etc. <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> properly, <span class="accented">to put to death</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-21.htm">Matthew 10:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-59.htm">Matthew 26:59</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-1.htm">Matthew 27:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/13-12.htm">Mark 13:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-55.htm">Mark 14:55</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/21-16.htm">Luke 21:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/6-9.htm">2 Corinthians 6:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/3-18.htm">1 Peter 3:18</a>; passive, by rhetorical hyperbole, to be in the state of one who is being put to death, <a href="/interlinear/romans/8-36.htm">Romans 8:36</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> metaphorically, <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to make to die</span> i. e. <span class="accented">destroy, render extinct</span> (something vigorous), <span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">mortifico</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
