It often conveys the idea of fairness, balance, or parity. In the New Testament, it is used to describe relationships or situations where equality is emphasized.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of equality was significant in various contexts, including philosophy, politics, and social structures. Philosophers like Aristotle discussed equality in terms of justice and fairness. In the New Testament, the use of "isos" reflects a counter-cultural message, especially in the context of the early Christian community, which emphasized equality among believers regardless of social status or ethnicity.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2470</b> <i>ísos</i> – <i>equality</i>; having the same (similar) level or value; <i>equivalent</i>, <i>equal</i> in substance or quality (J.
