διωγμὸν
diōgmós
persecution
The act or process of pursuing or chasing, often with hostile intent. In Koine Greek and particularly within the New Testament and Septuagint, commonly denotes hostile pursuit, specifically organized harassment or persecution, especially for one's beliefs, social position, or group identity. The primary sense is the state or act of being systematically hunted, pursued, or oppressed; also used more generally for pursuit or aggressive following in some Hellenistic texts, though the dominant sense in NT sources is persecution for belief or association.
