It emphasizes the spiritual kinship and communal bond that exists within the body of Christ. This concept is rooted in the idea that all believers are united as siblings in the family of God, sharing a common faith and purpose.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of brotherhood was significant in various social and religious contexts. For early Christians, the term "adelphotés" took on a profound meaning as it described the new community formed by those who followed Jesus Christ. This community transcended traditional social, ethnic, and cultural boundaries, creating a new identity based on faith in Christ. The early church was characterized by mutual support, love, and shared resources, reflecting the deep sense of brotherhood among its members.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/80.htm">adelphos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>brotherhood<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brethren (1), brotherhood (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 81: ἀδελφότης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀδελφότης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ητος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">brotherhood</span>; the abstract for the concrete, <span class="accented">a band of brothers</span>, i. e. of Christians, Christian brethren: <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/2-17.htm">1 Peter 2:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/5-9.htm">1 Peter 5:9</a>.
