Berean Strong's Lexicon allélón: one another, each other Original Word: ἀλλήλων Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἄλλος (allos), meaning "other" or "another." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the reciprocal pronoun ἀλλήλων, the concept of mutual responsibility and love is present in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in the commandments to love one's neighbor (Leviticus 19:18) and to act justly and mercifully (Micah 6:8). Usage: The Greek word ἀλλήλων (allélón) is used to express mutual or reciprocal action or relationship among individuals or groups. It is often employed in the New Testament to describe the interactions and responsibilities believers have towards one another within the Christian community. This term emphasizes the interconnectedness and mutual obligations that are foundational to Christian fellowship and love. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of mutual relationships was significant in both social and philosophical contexts. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish teachings and the life of Jesus, adopted and transformed these ideas to emphasize love, service, and unity among believers. The use of ἀλλήλων in the New Testament reflects the radical nature of Christian ethics, which called for a community marked by selfless love and mutual care, contrasting with the often hierarchical and self-serving relationships prevalent in the surrounding culture.
