It emphasizes the importance of truthfulness in communication and action, reflecting a commitment to honesty and integrity. In the New Testament, this term underscores the Christian call to embody truth as a reflection of God's nature.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, truth was a highly valued virtue, often associated with divine attributes. The concept of truth in the biblical context goes beyond mere factual accuracy; it encompasses faithfulness, reliability, and alignment with God's character. The early Christian community was called to be a witness to the truth of the Gospel, standing in contrast to the falsehoods prevalent in the surrounding culture.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/224.htm">aleuron</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to grind<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grinding (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 229: ἀλήθω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀλήθω</span></span>; (a common Greek form for the Attic <span class="greek2">ἀλέω</span>, cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 151); <span class="accented">to grind</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/24-41.htm">Matthew 24:41</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-35.htm">Luke 17:35</a>.
