It emphasizes the quality of being true and reliable, without any element of deception.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, truthfulness was a highly valued virtue, often associated with integrity and honor. The concept of truth was central to philosophical discussions, particularly in the context of ethics and rhetoric. In the Jewish tradition, truthfulness was also a key attribute of God's character, as seen in the Hebrew Scriptures. The early Christian community, emerging from this cultural milieu, placed a strong emphasis on truth as a reflection of God's nature and as a standard for Christian living.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/5571.htm">pseudés</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>free from falsehood<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>who cannot lie (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 893: ἀψευδής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀψευδής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀψευδες</span> (<span class="greek2">ψεῦδος</span>), <span class="accented">without lie, truthful</span>: <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-2.htm">Titus 1:2</a>.
