G226 alētheúō

ἀληθεύω

al-ayth-yoo'-o

be truthful

Looking for Hebrew H226 ʼôwth? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G226. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

alētheúō appears twice in Scripture, in Galatians 4:16 and Ephesians 4:15. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
