Strong's Lexicon logizomai: To reckon, to consider, to account, to think, to impute. Original Word: λογίζομαι Word Origin: Middle voice from the root word λόγος (logos), meaning "word" or "reason." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2803 (חָשַׁב, chashab) - to think, account, plan. - H5612 (סֵפֶר, sepher) - book, scroll, document (related to the idea of accounting or recording). Usage: The Greek verb "λογίζομαι" (logizomai) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of reasoning, calculating, or considering something. It often implies a thoughtful or deliberate process of evaluation. In a theological context, it is frequently used to describe the act of God imputing righteousness to believers, as seen in the writings of Paul. The term can also refer to human reasoning or the act of taking into account various factors in decision-making. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "λογίζομαι" was integral to philosophical discourse, where reasoning and logical deduction were highly valued. The term was used in accounting and financial contexts to denote the process of calculating or reckoning accounts. In the Jewish context, the idea of reckoning or accounting was also significant, particularly in legal and religious settings, where it was important to consider one's actions in light of God's law.
