It implies a thoroughness and carefulness in action or thought. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the manner in which one should live or understand teachings, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and diligence in spiritual matters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, precision and accuracy were highly valued in various fields such as philosophy, science, and rhetoric. The use of "akribós" in the New Testament reflects this cultural appreciation for meticulousness, especially in the context of understanding and living out one's faith. The term would resonate with an audience familiar with the importance of exactness in both secular and religious contexts.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>199</b> <i>akribṓs</i> (from <i>akribes</i>, &quot;the high point, <i>extreme</i>,&quot; see <a href="/greek/195.htm">195</a> <i>/akríbeia</i>, &quot;highly accurate&quot;) – properly, extremely accurate, very exact; &quot;<i>more</i> (<i>very</i>) accurate&quot; because researched down to the finest detail (&quot;factually precise&quot;).</p><p class="discovery">This root (<i>akrib-</i>) refers to gaining <i>exact information</i> with the <i>highest level</i> of accuracy (&quot;exactness&quot;) and is acquired by <i>probing investigation</i> to provide a <i>comprehensive circumspect</i> (precise) view in <i>strict</i> adherence to the facts.</p><p class="discovery">[&quot;The verb is formed from <i>akros</i>, 'at the point' or 'end.'
