It implies a sense of firmness and certainty, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. The term can be used to describe the act of securing a physical object or ensuring the certainty of an event or statement.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, security and certainty were highly valued, especially in contexts such as travel, construction, and legal matters. The concept of securing something was not only practical but also carried a sense of reliability and trustworthiness. In the biblical context, this term would resonate with the audience's understanding of the need for security in both physical and spiritual matters.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 805</b> <i>asphalízō</i> – properly, make safe (fast);
