It implies a strong sense of refutation or denial, typically in the context of a debate or argument. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the rejection of false teachings or the disapproval of actions that are contrary to the teachings of Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, public discourse and debate were common, and the ability to refute an opponent's argument was highly valued. The concept of "apelegmos" would have been understood in this context as a formal rejection or disapproval, often involving a reasoned argument. In the early Christian community, maintaining doctrinal purity was crucial, and the rejection of false teachings was an important aspect of preserving the faith.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and <a href="/greek/1649.htm">elegmos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>refutation, i.e. by impl. contempt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>disrepute (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 557: ἀπελεγμός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπελεγμός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπελεγμου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀπελέγχω</span> to convict, expose, refute; <span class="greek2">ἐλεγμός</span> conviction, refutation, in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="greek2">ἔλεγξις</span>), <span class="accented">censure, repudiation of a thing shown to be worthless</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐλθεῖν</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">ἀπελεγμόν</span> to be proved to be worthless, to be disesteemed, come into contempt (<span class="abbreviation">R.
