Berean Strong's Lexicon aptaistos: Without stumbling, faultless, blameless Original Word: ἄπταιστος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "α-" (a-), meaning "not," and "πταίω" (ptaio), meaning "to stumble" or "to fall." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "aptaistos," the concept of being blameless or without fault is expressed in Hebrew by words such as "תָּמִים" (tamim), meaning "blameless" or "perfect," as seen in passages like Genesis 6:9 and Psalm 18:23. Usage: The term "aptaistos" is used to describe someone who does not stumble or fall, particularly in a moral or spiritual sense. It conveys the idea of being blameless or faultless in one's conduct. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a state of spiritual maturity and integrity, where a believer is able to walk in righteousness without falling into sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "blameless" or "without fault" was highly valued, especially in philosophical and ethical discussions. The idea of not stumbling was often associated with wisdom and moral excellence. In the Jewish context, the notion of being blameless was linked to living in accordance with God's laws and commandments, reflecting a life of holiness and devotion.
