Lexicon aoratos: invisible Original Word: ἀόρατος, ονPart of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: aoratos Phonetic Spelling: (ah-or'-at-os) Short Definition: unseen, invisible Definition: unseen, invisible. HELPS word-Studies 517 aóratos (from 1 /A "not" and 3708 /horáō, "see") – properly, not seen; invisible to the physical ("naked") eye; (figuratively) spiritual reality as perceived through God's inbirthings of faith. Accordingly, 517 (aóratos) and faith (4102 /pístis) are closely associated (Ro 1:17-20; 1 Tim 1:17-19; Heb 11:27). The antonym of faith is not fear – but sight! Heb 11:27: "By faith (4102 /pístis) he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen (517 /aóratos)" (NASU).
