These terms reflect similar themes of obligation and forgiveness found in the New Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "chreopheiletés" refers to someone who owes a debt or is under obligation to repay something. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a person who is morally or spiritually indebted, particularly in the context of sin and the need for forgiveness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, debt was a common aspect of economic life. Debtors were often subject to severe penalties, including imprisonment or slavery, if they failed to repay their debts. This cultural understanding of debt and obligation provides a backdrop for the metaphorical use of "chreopheiletés" in the New Testament, where it illustrates the human condition of being indebted to God due to sin.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably a comp. of chreos (debt) and <a href="/greek/3781.htm">opheiletés</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a debtor<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>debtors (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 5533: χρεωφειλέτης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χρεωφειλέτης</span></span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">χρεοφειλέτης</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 691; <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 5, 1 d. 13; (<span class="manuref">WH</span>s Appendix, p. 152{b}; <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 89; <span class="manuref">T</span> (?; see as above) <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">χρεωφιλετης</span>, cf. <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 154{b} (see Iota))), <span class="greek2">χρεωφειλετου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">χρέος</span> or <span class="greek2">χρέως</span>, a loan, a debt, and <span class="greek2">ὀφειλέτης</span>, which see), <span class="accented">a debtor</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-41.htm">Luke 7:41</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/16-5.htm">Luke 16:5</a>.
