What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
μαρτυρέω means to bear witness or testify, affirming that something is true, whether speaking generally, testifying to a fact, or testifying about a person 1234. It can be used without an object, with a person or thing testified to or about, or with a clause stating what is testified, and covers testimony given both for and, in principle, against someone 13.
In a related, softer use, it means to speak well of someone, giving a good or approving report of their character rather than simply stating facts 13. This sense appears in describing people who are well spoken of or approved by others' testimony 13.
