The Greek word apologia (ἀπολογία) means "speaking in defense" and refers to a formal defense of a position, opinion, or action.
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer (ἀπολογία) to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,
