Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "sacred" or "holy."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ὅσιος is often associated with the Hebrew word חָסִיד (chasid • Strong's Hebrew 2623), which means "faithful," "kind," or "godly." This Hebrew term is used to describe those who are devoted to God and His covenant, embodying the qualities of mercy and righteousness. Another related Hebrew term is קָדוֹשׁ (qadosh • Strong's Hebrew 6918), meaning "holy" or "set apart," which is frequently used to describe God's nature and the sanctity required of His people. Usage: The word ὅσιος is used in the New Testament to describe individuals or actions that are in accordance with God's will and character. It emphasizes a state of holiness that is pleasing to God, often in contrast to what is common or profane. Context: The Greek term ὅσιος appears in several key New Testament passages, highlighting the concept of holiness as an essential attribute of God and His people. In Acts 13:34-35, the term is used in reference to the "holy and sure blessings of David," underscoring the faithfulness and sanctity of God's promises. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as: "He raised Him from the dead, never to be subject to decay. As He has said: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.' So also, He says in another Psalm: 'You will not let Your Holy One see decay.'"
