Often mistaken in translations for confidence (παρρησία), this is the verb form of the word for courage. In extra-biblical use, it is used both in a good sense and in a bad sense—where a person has an excessive amount of courage. However, its primary usage expresses a positive courage, rooted in reliance on the dependability of someone.
