Denotes danger or peril — the state of being exposed to serious risk or harm. In the New Testament, nearly all occurrences cluster in Paul's famous 'catalog of perils' in 2 Corinthians 11:26, where he lists dangers from rivers, robbers, countrymen, Gentiles, city, wilderness, sea, and false brothers. The repetition of kindynos eight times in a single verse drives home the relentless hazards Paul faced. Romans 8:35 rounds out the picture, asking whether danger can separate believers from the love of Christ. The Spanish 'peligro' and French 'danger' both capture this sense of imminent threat to life and safety.
