Usage: The term "bebaiósis" refers to the act of confirming or establishing something as true or valid. In the New Testament, it is used to denote the assurance or validation of a statement, promise, or belief. It conveys a sense of certainty and reliability, often in the context of faith or doctrine. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of confirmation was significant in legal and philosophical contexts.
