Strong's Lexicon authadés: Self-willed, arrogant, stubborn Original Word: αὐθάδης Word Origin: Derived from αὐτός (autos, "self") and ἡδονή (hēdonē, "pleasure" or "delight") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "authadés," the concept of self-will and arrogance can be related to Hebrew words like זָדוֹן (zadown, "insolence" or "pride") and עַז (az, "bold" or "arrogant"). Usage: The Greek word "authadés" is used to describe someone who is self-willed, obstinate, or arrogantly stubborn. It conveys a sense of self-pleasure or self-interest that disregards others' opinions or authority. In the New Testament, it often carries a negative connotation, highlighting a character trait that is contrary to the humility and submission encouraged in Christian teachings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, virtues such as humility and self-control were often esteemed, especially in philosophical circles. However, the culture also celebrated individualism and personal achievement, which could lead to self-willed behavior. In the context of the early Christian church, being "authadés" was seen as a vice, as it opposed the communal and selfless nature of Christian life. The early church emphasized the importance of submission to God's will and the needs of the community over personal desires.
