In the New Testament, it is used to describe the expression of approval or admiration, particularly in the context of worship and thanksgiving to God. It emphasizes the verbal acknowledgment of God's attributes, deeds, and character.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, praise was a common practice in both religious and secular contexts. Public commendation was often given to deities, rulers, and individuals for their achievements or virtues. In Jewish tradition, praise was an integral part of worship, deeply rooted in the Psalms and other Old Testament writings. The early Christian community continued this tradition, focusing their praise on God and Jesus Christ as an expression of faith and gratitude.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/134.htm">aineó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>praise<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>praise (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 133: αἴνεσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αἴνεσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(εως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">αἰνέω</span>), <span class="accented">praise</span>: <span class="greek2">θυσία</span> <span class="greek2">αἰνέσεως</span> (<span class="hebrew">הַתּודָד</span> <span class="hebrew">זֶבַח</span>, <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/7-13.htm">Leviticus 7:13</a>), <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/13-15.htm">Hebrews 13:15</a> <span class="accented">a thank-offering,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
