4100. pisteuó
4100 pisteúō (from
4102 /pístis, "faith," derived from
3982 /peíthō, "persuade, be persuaded") –
believe (affirm, have confidence); used of persuading oneself (= human believing) and with the sacred significance of being persuaded by the Lord (=
faith-believing). Only the context indicates whether
4100 /pisteúō ("believe") is self-serving (without sacred meaning), or the believing that leads to/proceeds from God's inbirthing of faith.
