It denotes a lifestyle or behavior that is contrary to the reverence and worship due to God. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the moral and spiritual condition of those who live in opposition to God's will and commandments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, religious piety was an important aspect of social and civic life. The concept of "asebeia" would have been understood as a serious offense, not only against the gods but also against the social order. In the Jewish context, ungodliness was seen as a violation of the covenant relationship with Yahweh, leading to moral decay and divine judgment.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 763</b> <i>asébeia</i> – properly, a lack of respect, <i>showing</i> itself in <i>bold irreverence</i> – i.e. refusing to give honor where honor is due. <a href="/greek/765.htm">See 765</a> (<i>asebēs</i>).</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>from <a href="/greek/765.htm">asebés</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ungodliness, impiety<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ungodliness (4), ungodly (3).<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 763: ἀσέβεια</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀσέβεια</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀσεβείας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀσεβής</span>, which see), <span class="accented">want of reverence toward God, impiety, ungodliness</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/1-18.htm">Romans 1:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/2-16.htm">2 Timothy 2:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/2-12.htm">Titus 2:12</a>; plural ungodly thoughts and deeds, <a href="/interlinear/romans/11-26.htm">Romans 11:26</a> (from <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/59-20.htm">Isaiah 59:20</a>); <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἔργα</span> <span class="greek2">ἀσεβείας</span> (<span class="manuref">Treg.</span> brackets <span class="greek2">ἀσεβείας</span>), <span class="accented">works of ungodliness,</span> a Hebraism, <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-15.htm">Jude 1:15</a>, cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 34, 3 b.; (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 132, 10); <span class="greek2">αἱ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπιθυμίαι</span> <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀσεβειῶν</span> their desires to do ungodly deeds, <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-18.htm">Jude 1:18</a>.
