This term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe God's holiness and the holiness He requires from His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "hosiós" is used in the New Testament to describe a quality of holiness or piety that is in accordance with God's standards. It often refers to a moral and ethical purity that aligns with divine law and is pleasing to God. This holiness is not just ritualistic but involves a genuine devotion and righteousness in one's conduct and character.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of holiness was often associated with religious rituals and the gods. However, in the Judeo-Christian context, "hosiós" transcends mere ritual and is deeply connected to the character and nature of God. It reflects a life lived in obedience to God's commandments and in relationship with Him. The early Christians understood holiness as being set apart for God's purposes, embodying His moral and ethical standards in a world that often opposed them.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3743</b> <i>hosíōs</i> (an adverb, derived from <a href="/greek/3741.htm">3741</a> <i>/hósios</i>, "what is <i>sanctioned</i> by the Lord") – properly, divinely-<i>sanctioned</i> and therefore <i>worthy of reverence</i> (used only in 1 Thes 2:10). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adverb from <a href="/greek/3741.htm">hosios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>piously, holily<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>devoutly (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 3743: ὁσίως</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁσίως</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ὅσιος</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span> down), adverb, <span class="accented">piously, holily</span>: joined with <span class="greek2">δικαίως</span>, <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/2-10.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:10</a> (<span class="greek2">ἁγνῶς</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ὁσίως</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">δικαίως</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Theophilus</span> ad Autol. 1, 7).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>devoutly<p>Adverb from <a href="/greek/3741.htm">hosios</a>;
