Usage: The verb ἀποχωρίζω (apochórizó) is used to describe the act of separating or departing from someone or something. It conveys a sense of physical or relational separation, often implying a decisive or intentional action. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of leaving or parting ways, whether in a physical sense or in terms of relational or spiritual separation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, separation could occur for various reasons, including social, legal, or personal circumstances. The concept of separation was significant in both Jewish and early Christian contexts, where community and relational bonds were highly valued. The act of separating could have implications for one's social standing, religious purity, or personal relationships.
