It implies a depth of understanding that goes beyond mere intellectual knowledge, encompassing a sensitivity to spiritual truths and moral discernment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, perception and discernment were highly valued traits, often associated with wisdom and philosophical insight. The concept of "esthésis" would have resonated with early Christian audiences familiar with Greek philosophy, which emphasized the importance of understanding and wisdom. In a biblical context, this term underscores the importance of spiritual insight and moral clarity, which are gifts of the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from estheó (to clothe)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>clothing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>clothing (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 2067: ἔσθησις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔσθησις</span></span> (<span class="manuref">Rec.<span class="lexsuper">elz</span></span> <span class="greek2">ἔσθησις</span>), <span class="greek2">ἐσθησεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">ἐσθέω</span>, and this from <span class="greek2">ἐσθής</span>, which see), <span class="accented">clothing, apparel</span>: plural, <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-4.htm">Luke 24:4</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/1-10.htm">Acts 1:10</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span>, vit.
