It can also imply excellence or superiority in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it often highlights the distinction between things that are of a different kind or quality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "difference" was significant in philosophical discussions, particularly in distinguishing between the material and the ideal, or between the earthly and the divine. The use of "diaphoros" in the New Testament reflects a similar understanding, often emphasizing the superiority of the new covenant over the old, or the excellence of Christ's priesthood.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1308.htm">diapheró</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>varying, excellent<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>differ (1), more excellent (2), various (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 1313: διάφορος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διάφορος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">διάφορον</span> (<span class="greek2">διαφέρω</span>);
