These include: Usage: The word ἀσεβής appears in the New Testament to describe those who live in opposition to God's will, often highlighting moral and spiritual corruption. It is used to contrast the righteous with the ungodly. Context: The term ἀσεβής is a significant descriptor in the New Testament, often used to delineate the moral and spiritual state of individuals who reject or live contrary to God's commandments. In Romans 4:5, the apostle Paul speaks of God justifying the ungodly, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and grace: "However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness." This highlights the redemptive potential for those labeled as ἀσεβής through faith in Christ.
