- ἀρνέομαι arnéomai · G720 · to deny
- ἀρνέομαι is the standard Greek term for denying or disowning someone or something, often used in contexts of repudiating allegiance or relationship. While ἀπειπόμην (from ἀπεῖπον) emphasizes the act of formally renouncing or 'saying off' for oneself, ἀρνέομαι is the more common and broader term for denial/disowning.
- ἀποτάσσομαι apotássomai · G657 · to say goodbye, to take leave of
- ἀποτάσσομαι carries the sense of formally renouncing or taking leave of something, often used in contexts of giving up possessions or relationships (e.g., Luke 14:33). While both terms involve renunciation, ἀποτάσσομαι emphasizes the act of bidding farewell or arranging departure, whereas ἀπειπόμην focuses on verbal disowning or denial.
