In the context of the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the act of adorning or embellishing, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, adornment was a significant aspect of daily life, often associated with beauty, status, and religious practices. The concept of adornment extended beyond physical appearance to include moral and spiritual virtues. In the New Testament, the idea of adornment is frequently used to illustrate the inner qualities that believers are encouraged to cultivate.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4060.htm">peritithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a putting around<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wearing (1).<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 4025: περίθεσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περίθεσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">περιθέσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">περιτίθημι</span>), the act of <span class="accented">putting around</span> (<span class="greek2">περί</span>, III. 1) (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">circumdatio</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
