Usage

The term "akathartés" refers to an individual who is considered unclean, often in a moral or spiritual sense. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who are morally impure or defiled, particularly in relation to sexual immorality or idolatry. The concept of uncleanness is deeply rooted in Jewish ceremonial law, where it denotes a state of impurity that separates individuals from the holiness required by God.
