Strong's Lexicon hosiotés: Holiness, piety, devoutness Original Word: ὁσιότης Word Origin: Derived from ὅσιος (hosios), meaning "holy" or "pious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "hosiotes" is קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh), Strong's Hebrew 6944, which also means holiness or sacredness. Usage: The term "hosiotes" refers to a state of holiness or piety, emphasizing a devout and reverent attitude towards God. It conveys the idea of being set apart for divine purposes, embodying moral purity and righteousness. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the character and conduct that align with God's standards and commands. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, holiness was often associated with religious rituals and the observance of sacred laws. However, in the Judeo-Christian context, holiness transcends mere ritualistic observance and is deeply rooted in a personal relationship with God. It involves living a life that reflects God's character and commands, as seen in the teachings of the Old Testament and the life of Jesus Christ. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 3742 hosiótēs (from 3741 /hósios, "what is sanctioned by the Lord") – properly, what God sanctions, i.e. what the Lord defines (ordains) as holy and just. See 3741 (hosios). 3742 /hosiótēs ("holiness") looks to the application of what God defines as sanctioned (i.e. as heaven's will works out on earth). This is holiness "fleshed out," i.e. incarnated by living in faith. [Note the close relationship of faith (4102 /pístis, "God's inbirthed persuasion") and 3742 (hosiótēs) in Eph 4:5-24.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom hosios Definition piety, holiness NASB Translation holiness (2).
