It is used in the context of expressing admiration, honor, and reverence towards God. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the worship and glorification of God, reflecting the believer's response to His majesty and works.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, hymns and praises were common in both religious and secular contexts. They were used to honor deities, heroes, and even emperors. In Jewish tradition, praise was an integral part of worship, deeply rooted in the Psalms and other Old Testament writings. The early Christian community adopted and adapted these traditions, emphasizing praise as a response to the revelation of God in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>praise (noun)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>praise (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 136: αἶνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αἶνος</span></span>, , <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (often used by the Greek poets);
