In a biblical context, it often implies the annulment or setting aside of a previous covenant or commandment, highlighting the transition from the old to the new covenant in Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, legal and contractual terms like "athetésis" were significant in discussions about the validity and annulment of agreements. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used to describe the theological shift from the Old Covenant, based on the Law of Moses, to the New Covenant, established through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This transition was a pivotal theme in early Christian teachings, emphasizing the fulfillment and surpassing of the old legalistic system by the grace and truth brought by Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 115</b> <i>athétēsis</i> – properly, annulment (cancellation), i.e. what is rendered "no longer in effect" (literally, "no longer having a place"). <a href="/greek/114.htm">See 114</a> (<i>atheteō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/114.htm">atheteó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a setting aside<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>put away (1), setting aside (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 115: ἀθέτησις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀθέτησις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(εως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀθετέω</span>, which see;
