arg-eh'-o

be idle

Looking for Hebrew H691 ʼerʼêl? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G691. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

argéō appears once in Scripture, in 2 Peter 2:3. In the Doxa app, open that verse, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
