Usage: The Greek word "akólutós" is used to describe something that is not obstructed or impeded. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the free and unimpeded spread of the Gospel message. It conveys the idea of being able to proceed without any barriers or restrictions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, communication and travel could often be hindered by physical, political, or social barriers. The use of "akólutós" in the New Testament highlights the divine empowerment and providence that allowed the early Christian message to spread despite potential obstacles. This term underscores the belief in God's sovereignty and the unstoppable nature of His purposes.
