It implies a careful and respectful approach, often motivated by a sense of awe or fear of God. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a pious or devout attitude, particularly in relation to worship and obedience to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, reverence and caution were important virtues, especially in religious contexts. The concept of εὐλαβέομαι would have resonated with early Christians who were called to live in a manner that honored God and reflected their faith. This term underscores the importance of a respectful and devout approach to one's relationship with God, which was a counter-cultural stance in a society often characterized by pagan practices and moral laxity.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2125</b> <i>eulabéomai</i> (from <a href="/greek/2126.htm">2126</a> <i>/eulabḗs</i>) – "showing pious care, reverent circumspection" (M.
