It is often used to describe something that is free from defilement or corruption, whether physical, moral, or spiritual. In the New Testament, it is used to characterize individuals, actions, or thoughts that align with God's standards of holiness and righteousness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, purity was a significant concept, often associated with religious rituals and moral conduct. The idea of purity extended beyond physical cleanliness to include moral and ethical dimensions. In Jewish culture, purity was deeply rooted in the Law of Moses, which outlined various ceremonial and moral laws to maintain holiness before God. The New Testament writers, influenced by both Jewish and Hellenistic thought, emphasized purity as an essential attribute of the Christian life, reflecting the holiness of God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 55</b> <i>hagnṓs</i> (an adverb) – sincerely, <i>purely</i> without inner contamination (duplicity).
