In the New Testament, it is used to describe a level or stage in a process, particularly in spiritual or moral contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, steps were significant in both architecture and metaphorical language. Temples and important buildings often had steps leading up to them, symbolizing ascension to a higher place or state. Metaphorically, steps or degrees were used to describe progress in various aspects of life, including moral and spiritual development.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>898</b> <i>bathmós</i> – properly, a step (tread) in a staircase; (figuratively) a <i>degree</i>, <i>rank</i>, <i>grade</i> (used only in 1 Tim 3:13).</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>from the same as <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a step, degree<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>standing (1).<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 898: βαθμός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βαθμός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βαθμου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from the obsolete <span class="greek2">βάω</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">βαίνω</span>, like <span class="greek2">σταθμός</span> (from <span class="greek2">ἵστημι</span>), <span class="accented">threshold, step</span>; of a grade of dignity and wholesome influence in the church (<span class="abbreviation">R.
