In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe spiritual cleansing or renewal, particularly in the context of salvation and sanctification.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, bathing was a common practice for physical cleanliness and ritual purification. Public baths were prevalent in Greek and Roman societies, serving as places for social interaction and hygiene. In Jewish tradition, ritual washing was significant for maintaining ceremonial purity. The concept of washing as a metaphor for spiritual cleansing is rooted in these cultural practices and is evident in the New Testament's use of "loutron."<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3067</b> <i>loutrón</i> – properly, a bath, public or private (both were very common in NT times). <a href="/greek/3068.htm">See 3068</a> (<i>louō</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/3068.htm">louó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a washing, a bath<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>washing (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 3067: λουτρόν</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λουτρόν</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λουτροῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">λούω</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down (who uses <span class="greek2">λοετρόν</span>, from the uncontracted form <span class="greek2">λοέω</span>), <span class="accented">a bathing, bath,</span> i. e. as well the act of bathing (a sense disputed by some (cf.
