ἀντιπίπτω G0496
resist, oppose, fall upon in opposition
This verb means to resist, oppose, or collide with something. Stephen accuses his hearers in Acts 7:51: 'You stiff-necked people... always resist the Holy Spirit.' Classical usage included physical collision, resistance to authority, and contrary winds. The compound (ἀντι-πίπτω) combines 'against' with 'fall,' creating imagery of falling against or colliding with something in opposition. Spanish 'resistís' (you resist), French preservation of the Greek, and German repetition of the Greek all emphasize active resistance.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Resist, oppose (Acts 7:51). Stephen's climactic accusation declares 'You always resist the Holy Spirit!' The verb emphasizes active, persistent opposition—the present tense 'you always resist' indicates habitual pattern, not isolated incidents. Classical usage of 'collide with' and 'contrary winds' shows forceful opposition, not mere reluctance. The multilingual consensus on 'resist' indicates deliberate opposition to God's Spirit speaking through the prophets. This resistance culminates in their rejection of Jesus, the Righteous One the prophets announced. 1×
