It emphasizes the gratuitous nature of a gift or action, highlighting the absence of cost to the recipient. This term is often used to describe the grace and salvation offered by God through Jesus Christ, underscoring the unmerited and generous nature of divine gifts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, gifts were often given with the expectation of reciprocity. The concept of "dórean" would have stood in contrast to this cultural norm, as it denotes a gift given without expectation of return. This reflects the biblical theme of God's grace, which is given freely to humanity despite their inability to repay or earn it.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p
