| Root | ἀποκόπτω (apokoptō) |
| Core Meanings | cut off, sever, amputate, remove by cutting, mutilate |
| Semantic Range | to cut off physically, amputate a limb, remove by cutting, sever relationships, eliminate an offending part, (figuratively or ironically) mutilate oneself |
| Conceptual Significance | Used in strong exhortations, this verb can convey radical removal of what causes sin or offense, emphasizing decisive separation. In polemical contexts, it may carry ironic or shocking force, underscoring the seriousness of covenant faithfulness and moral purity. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete action), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular. The form issues a direct command to one individual to perform the action decisively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines ἀπό (away from) with κόπτω (to cut or strike), conveying the idea of cutting something off from a whole. The aorist active imperative, second person singular, is reflected as a direct, decisive command addressed to one person—"Cut away!"—capturing the force of a single, complete act. |
