It is used in the New Testament to describe a demeanor or lifestyle characterized by calmness and a lack of disturbance. This term often implies a state of inner peace and composure, which is reflected in outward behavior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of tranquility was highly valued, often associated with philosophical ideals of inner peace and self-control. In the context of early Christianity, believers were encouraged to lead quiet and peaceful lives as a testimony to their faith and as a means of living harmoniously within their communities. This was particularly important in a time when Christians were often viewed with suspicion and faced persecution.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2272</b> <i>hēsý<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ios</i> (an adjective derived from <i>hēsy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>os</i>, "quiet, stillness") – properly, quiet (still), i.e. steady (settled) due to a <i>divinely-inspired inner calmness</i>. </p><p class="discovery">2272<i>/hēsy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ios</i> ("calmly quiet") describes being "<i>appropriately tranquil</i>" by not misusing (or overusing) words that would stir up needless friction (destructive commotion).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prol. form of hésuchos (still, quiet)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>tranquil<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>quiet (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2272: ἡσύχιος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἡσύχιος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἡσυχία</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡσύχιον</span> ((perhaps akin to <span class="greek2">ἧμαι</span> to sit, Latin<span class="latin">sedatus</span>;
