Usage: The term ὀρθρίος is used in the context of events or actions taking place at the break of day or in the early morning hours.

Context: The Greek word ὀρθρίος is used to describe activities or occurrences that happen at the earliest part of the day, often associated with the time just before or at sunrise. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, the early morning was a significant time for prayer, reflection, and beginning daily tasks. The use of ὀρθρίος in the New Testament underscores the importance of starting the day with devotion and purpose.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὀρθρίος is used to convey the idea of rising early for significant events or spiritual practices. This term highlights the discipline and dedication of individuals who prioritize their spiritual lives by seeking God at the start of the day. The early morning is often seen as a time of renewal and new beginnings, symbolizing hope and the promise of a new day.

The concept of rising early is also reflected in various biblical narratives where key events occur at dawn, emphasizing the readiness and vigilance of God's people. The use of ὀρθρίος serves as a reminder of the value placed on the early hours for spiritual growth and communion with God.
