Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
ἀθετέω athetéō, ath-et-eh'-o; from a compound of G1 (as a negative particle) and a derivative of G5087; to set aside, i.e. (by implication) to disesteem, neutralize or violate:—cast off, despise, disannul, frustrate, bring to nought, reject.
STRONGS G114:
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: τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ, Luke 7:30 (they rendered inefficacious the saving purpose of God); τὴν σύνεσιν 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; τὴν 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 καταφρονεῖν is used in the parallel passage 2 Peter 2:10).
