Strong's Lexicon hosios: Holy, pious, devout, righteous Original Word: ὅσιος Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "sacred" or "holy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "hosios" is חָסִיד (chasid), which means "faithful" or "godly," and קָדוֹשׁ (qadosh), meaning "holy." Usage: The Greek word "hosios" is used to describe that which is holy or sacred, often in the context of being set apart for God. It conveys a sense of moral purity and devotion to God, emphasizing a life that aligns with divine standards. In the New Testament, "hosios" is used to describe both God and those who are faithful to Him. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of holiness was often associated with religious rituals and the gods. However, in the Judeo-Christian context, holiness is deeply rooted in the character of God and His covenant relationship with His people. The term "hosios" reflects a life that is consecrated to God, distinct from the secular or profane.
