- ἀνθίστημι anthístēmi · G436 · to oppose, to be hostile toward, to show hostility
- ἀντιτάσσομαι and ἀνθίστημι both denote opposition. ἀντιτάσσομαι emphasizes military-style arrangement or positioning in opposition, while ἀνθίστημι emphasizes standing firm against an opponent; both converge on the shared core sense of resistance, differing in the underlying metaphor.
- ἀντιπίπτω antipíptō · G496 · to resist
- Both terms express active resistance or opposition, though ἀντιτάσσομαι (antitássomai, G498) appears more frequently and carries a stronger military sense of arraying oneself in formation against someone, while ἀντιπίπτω (antipíptō, G496) occurs only once in the New Testament corpus and suggests a more immediate act of falling or rushing against.
