How do you spell rob in Greek?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "rob" in Greek, as the best word depends on the context. Here are a few options, with slightly different nuances:

* ληστεύω (līs-teúō): This verb means "to rob," "to plunder," or "to bandit." It implies a violent or forceful taking of property. This is probably the closest general equivalent.

* κλέβω (klébō): This verb means "to steal." It's a more general term and doesn't necessarily imply violence.

* αρπάζω (arpázo): This verb means "to snatch," "to grab," or "to seize." It suggests a quick, forceful taking.

The best choice will depend on the specific situation. If someone is violently robbed at gunpoint, ληστεύω (līs-teúō) is best. If someone's wallet is quietly stolen from a pocket, κλέβω (klébō) is more appropriate.
