It implies an unethical withholding or taking away of something, whether it be material possessions, rights, or due honor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of justice and fairness was integral to societal norms. The act of defrauding or depriving someone was not only a legal issue but also a moral one. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish ethical teachings, emphasized fairness, justice, and the proper treatment of others, reflecting the broader biblical mandate to love one's neighbor and act justly.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>650</b> <i>aposteréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/575.htm">575</a> <i>/apó</i>, "away from" and <a href="/greek/4732.htm">4732</a> <i>/stereóō</i>, "deprive") – properly, keep <i>away</i> from someone, i.e. by <i>defrauding</i> (depriving); to cheat, taking away what rightfully belongs to someone else.</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/575.htm">apo</a> and stereó (to rob)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to defraud, deprive of<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>defraud (2), defrauded (1), deprived (1), depriving (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 650: ἀποστερέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποστερέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποστέρω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπεστέρησα</span>; (passive, present <span class="greek2">ἀποστεροῦμαι</span>); perfect participle <span class="greek2">ἀπεστερημένος</span>; <span class="accented">to defraud, rob, despoil</span>: absolutely, <a href="/interlinear/mark/10-19.htm">Mark 10:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/6-8.htm">1 Corinthians 6:8</a>; <span class="greek2">ἀλλήλους</span> to withhold themselves from one another, of those who mutually deny themselves cohabitation, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-5.htm">1 Corinthians 7:5</a>.
