Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἀθετέω, (ῶ; future ἀθετήσω; 1 aorist ἠθέτησα; a word met with first (yet very often) in the Sept. and Polybius;

a. properly, to render ἄθετον; do away with θετόν τί, i. e. something laid down, prescribed, established: διαθήκην, Galatians 3:15 (1 Macc. 11:36; 2 Macc. 13:25, etc.); according to the context, 'to act toward anything as though it were annulled'; hence, to deprive a law of force by opinions or acts opposed to it, to transgress it, Mark 7:9; Hebrews 10:28 (Ezekiel 22:26); πίστιν, to break one's promise or engagement, 1 Timothy 5:12; (Polybius 8, 2, 5; 11, 29, 3, others; Diodorus excerpt. (i. e.de virt. et vit.), p. 562, 67). Hence,

b. to thwart the efficacy of anything, nullify, make void?, frustrate: τήν βουλήν τοῦ Θεοῦ, Luke 7:30 (they rendered inefficacious the saving purpose of God); τήν συνέσω to render prudent plans of no effect, 1 Corinthians 1:19 (Isaiah 29:14 (where κρύψω, yet cf. Bos's note)).

c. to reject, refuse, slight; τήν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ, Galatians 2:21 (others refer this to b.); of persons: Mark 6:26 (by breaking the promise given her); Luke 10:16; John 12:48; 1 Thessalonians 4:8; Jude 1:8 (for which καταφρόνειν is used in the parallel passage 2 Peter 2:10). (For examples of the use of this word see Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word.)

Abbott-Smith Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

† ἀθετέω -ῶ

(<τίθημι ),

[in LXX for seventeen different words, H6586, H4775, H898, H4603, etc., often meaning, as 1 Samuel 13:3 (Heb., al.), to revolt; properly, to make ἄθετον , or do away with what has been laid down (v. DCG, i, 453 f.)].

1. to set aside, disregard (in Gramm., to reject as spurious): διαθήκην , Galatians 3:15; ἐντολήν , Mark 7:9; νόμον , Hebrews 10:28; πίστιν , 1 Timothy 5:12.

2. to nullify, make void: Luke 7:30 (v. Field, Notes, 59), 1 Corinthians 1:19, Galatians 2:21

3. to reject: Mark 6:26 (Field, op. cit., 30), Luke 10:16, John 12:48, 1 Thessalonians 4:8, Judges 1:8 (for exx. in Papyri, v. MM, VGT, s.v.).†

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This verb, which is not approved by the Atticists (frequent in Polybius), occurs five times in the Pauline writings, always with reference to things, except 1 Thessalonians 4:8 ὁ ἀθετῶν οὐκ ἄνθρωπον ἀθετεῖ ἀλλὰ τὸν θεόν. In the LXX it represents no fewer than seventeen Hebrew originals. It appears in the new Median parchment of B.C. 22, P Saïd Khan 2a11. For its use in the papyri, cf. P Tebt I. 7459 (B.C. 114–3) ἐν τῆι ἠθετημένηι ἱερᾷ, BGU IV. 1123.11 (time of Augustus) ἀθετεῖν τῶν ὡμολογημένων, P Oxy IV. 808 (i/A.D.), ἠθέ [τισται ] of loans repaid and cancelled, ib. VIII. 11208 (iii/A.D.) ἐξείσχυσεν τὰ βιβλείδια ἀθετηθῆναι, ";procured the failure of the petition";; and in the inscriptions, OGIS 444.13 ἐὰν δέ τινες τῶν πόλεων ἀθετ [ῶσι ] τὸ σύμφωνον. This is fairly near the meaning suggested from the LXX in Mark 6:26, ";break faith with her,"; by Abbott Joh. Voc. p. 322 : see also Field Notes, p. 30. The adjective is found in P Amh II. 6412 f. (A.D. 107) where certain officials are described as ἀ ]θέτους. . . κ [αὶ ] μὴ α ̣̓ναλογο ̣ῦντας τὴν ἐ [π ]ιμέλειαν, ";inefficient and incapable of doing their duties"; (Edd.) : cf. P Lond 23723 (c. A.D. 346) = (II. p. 291) τὸν ἐν ἀθέτ ̣ῳ σιτόκριθον, with reference to corn (wheat and barley) rejected by the inspector as unfit for food.
