In the context of the New Testament, it is often used to describe the act of singing praises or hymns to God. This singing is an expression of worship, joy, and thanksgiving, reflecting the believer's response to God's grace and majesty.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, singing was a common form of expression in both religious and secular contexts. In Jewish tradition, singing was integral to worship, with the Psalms serving as a hymnbook for the Israelites. Early Christians continued this tradition, incorporating singing into their gatherings as a means of teaching, encouraging one another, and glorifying God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from aeidó (to sing)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to sing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sang (3), singing (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 103: ᾄδω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ᾄδω</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ἀείδω</span>); common in Greek of every period; in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">שׁוּר</span>; <span class="accented">to sing, chant</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> intransitive: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, to the praise of anyone (Judith 16:1 (2)), <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/5-19.htm">Ephesians 5:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/colossians/3-16.htm">Colossians 3:16</a> (in both passages of the lyrical emotion of a devout and grateful soul). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> transitive: <span class="greek2">ᾠδήν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/5-9.htm">Revelation 5:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/14-3.htm">Revelation 14:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/15-3.htm">Revelation 15:3</a>.<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>sing. <p>To sing -- sing. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>άδειν άδοντας αδοντες άδοντες ᾄδοντες αδόντων άδουσαι αδούσας άδουσι αδουσιν άδουσιν ᾄδουσιν αδουσών άσατε ασάτωσαν άσομαι άσομαί άσομεν άσον άσονται άσω άσωμεν ήσαν ήσε ήσεν adontes adousin ā́idontes ā́idousin<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ephesians/5-19.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ephesians 5:19</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
