Usage: The term "suggeneia" refers to the concept of kinship or familial relationship. It is used to denote a group of people who are related by blood or marriage, emphasizing the bonds and obligations that come with family ties. In the New Testament, it often highlights the importance of family connections and the responsibilities that accompany them. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, family and kinship were central to social structure and identity. The family unit was the primary means of social organization, and one's status, responsibilities, and inheritance were largely determined by familial relationships. The Jewish culture, in particular, placed a strong emphasis on family lineage and heritage, which is reflected in the genealogies found in the Bible. Understanding one's "suggeneia" was crucial for maintaining social order and fulfilling religious duties.
