It emphasizes the state of having been brought into existence through birth. In the New Testament, it often refers to the physical birth of individuals, distinguishing between what is naturally born and what is spiritually reborn.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, lineage and birth were significant for determining one's social status, inheritance rights, and identity. The concept of being "born" carried implications of belonging and legitimacy. In Jewish thought, being born into the covenant community was crucial, but the New Testament introduces the idea of spiritual rebirth, which transcends physical lineage.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1080.htm">gennaó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>begotten, born<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>born (2).<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 1084: γεννητός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">γεννητός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">γεννητη</span>, <span class="greek2">γεννητον</span> (<span class="greek2">γεννάω</span>), <span class="accented">begotten, born</span> (often in <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>;
