πράσσω prassō
do · practice · accomplish · perform · fare
Team definition
A verb meaning to do, practice, or be engaged in, and also to achieve, accomplish, or perform. Abbott-Smith lists Phil 4:9 under achieve, accomplish, or perform; there it is used of putting learned things into practice. It can mean to commit unworthy acts, to exact a payment (Luke 3:13; 19:23), or, of one’s condition, to fare (Eph 6:21; Acts 15:29). The Attic spelling πράττω is a spelling variant, not a different lemma.
