It can also imply a sense of lacking or being deficient in something. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where something is left behind or when there is a deficiency or need.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of leaving or forsaking was significant in both social and religious contexts. To leave something behind could imply a physical departure or a more metaphorical sense of abandoning a practice or belief. The idea of lacking was also important in a society where resources could be scarce, and community support was vital.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. verb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to leave, leave behind<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lack (1), lacking (2), lacks (1), need (1), remains (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 3007: λείπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λείπω</span></span>; (2 aorist subjunctive 3 person singular <span class="greek2">λιπη</span>, <a href="/interlinear/titus/3-13.htm">Titus 3:13</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> WIt marginal reading; present passive <span class="greek2">λείπομαι</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> transitive, <span class="accented">to leave, leave behind, forsake</span>; passive <span class="accented">to be left behind</span> (properly, by one's rival in a race, hence), a. <span class="accented">to lag, be inferior</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">μηδενί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-4.htm">James 1:4</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 7, 8, 1); (others associate this example with the two under b.). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to be destitute of, to lack</span>: with the genitive of the thing, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/james/2-15.htm">James 2:15</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> intransitive, <span class="accented">to be lacking or absent, to fail</span>: <span class="greek2">λείπει</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/18-22.htm">Luke 18:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/3-13.htm">Titus 3:13</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 10, 18, 8; others); <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">λείποντα</span>, the things that remain (so <span class="abbreviation">Justin Martyr</span>, Apology 1, 52, cf. 32; but others <span class="accented">are lacking</span>), <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5</a>.
