Strong's Lexicon ethos: Custom, habit, manner Original Word: ἔθος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἔθω (ethō), meaning "to be accustomed" or "to be used to." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2708 (חֻקָּה, chuqqah): Statute, ordinance, custom - H4941 (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat): Judgment, custom, manner Usage: In the New Testament, "ethos" refers to a custom or habitual practice. It denotes the established ways of behavior or traditions that are characteristic of a particular group or society. The term is often used to describe religious, cultural, or social practices that are regularly observed. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, customs and traditions played a significant role in daily life, influencing everything from religious practices to social interactions. Jewish customs, in particular, were deeply rooted in the Law of Moses and were central to the identity and religious life of the Jewish people. The early Christian community, emerging from a Jewish context, often grappled with the role of these customs in light of the new covenant established through Jesus Christ.
