It is used in the New Testament to describe physical death, often in contexts that emphasize the consequences of sin or judgment. The word conveys the idea of something that has fallen from life, highlighting the finality and seriousness of death.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, including the Greco-Roman and Jewish contexts, death was a significant event with both religious and social implications. Corpses were considered ritually unclean in Jewish law, requiring specific purification rites. The treatment of the dead and the handling of corpses were matters of great importance, reflecting beliefs about the afterlife and the sanctity of the human body.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4098.htm">piptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a fall, hence a misfortune, ruin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>body (3), corpse (1), dead bodies (3).<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 4430: πτῶμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πτῶμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πτώματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">πίπτω</span>, perfect <span class="greek2">πέπτωκα</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> down, <span class="accented">a fall, downfall</span>; metaphorically, <span class="accented">a failure, defeat, calamity; an error lapse, sin</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">that which is fallen</span>; hence, with the genitive of a person or with <span class="greek2">νεκροῦ</span> added, <span class="accented">the (fallen) body of one dead or slain, a corpse, carcase</span>; later also with <span class="greek2">νεκροῦ</span> omitted (<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span>, Joseph, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, Herodian), cf. <span class="abbreviation">Thomas Magister</span>, p. 765 (edited by Ritschl, p. 290, 14); <span class="abbreviation">Phryn. ed.
