ΚΑΙΟΙ, καιοι

KAIOI, kaioi

Sounds Like: KAH-ee-oy

Translations: burn, set on fire, be consumed, be inflamed

From the root: ΚΑΙΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the verb 'καίω' (kaiō), meaning 'to burn' or 'to set on fire'. It can describe something being consumed by fire or a strong emotion like anger or zeal. In the provided context, it appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of 'δίκαιοι' (dikaioi), meaning 'righteous ones' or 'just ones', which is a common word in Koine Greek and fits the context of the example sentences much better. If it were 'καίω', it would refer to an action of burning.

Inflection: Present, Active, Indicative, 3rd Person Plural

Strong’s number: G2545 (Lookup on BibleHub)

Unknown: Yes
