It carries the connotation of a reciprocal acknowledgment, often in the context of praise or gratitude towards God. This term emphasizes a public or communal aspect of thanksgiving, where the acknowledgment is made openly and with sincerity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, public acknowledgment and thanksgiving were common practices, often associated with religious and civic duties. The act of giving thanks was not only a personal expression but also a communal one, reflecting the interconnectedness of society and the divine. In Jewish tradition, thanksgiving was a central element of worship, deeply rooted in the Psalms and other liturgical practices. The early Christian community adopted and adapted these practices, emphasizing thanksgiving as a response to God's grace and salvation through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/473.htm">anti</a> and <a href="/greek/3670.htm">homologeó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to acknowledge fully, confess<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>giving thanks (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 437: ἀνθομολογέομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνθομολογέομαι</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀνθομολγοῦμαι</span>: (imperfect <span class="greek2">ἀνθωμολογουμην</span>); (<span class="greek2">ἀντί</span> and <span class="greek2">ὁμολογέομαι</span>); in Greek writings (from <span class="abbreviation">Demosthenes</span> down) <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to reply by professing or by confessing</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to agree mutually (in turn), to make a compact</span>. <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> "to acknowledge in the presence of (<span class="greek2">ἀντί</span> before, over against; cf. <span class="greek2">ἐξομυλογεῖσθαι</span> <span class="greek2">ἔναντι</span> <span class="greek2">κυρίου</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/7-6.htm">2 Chronicles 7:6</a>) anyone" (see <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s De verb. comp. etc. Part iii., p. 19f): <span class="greek2">τάς</span> <span class="greek2">ἁμαρτίας</span> to confess sins, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 8, 10, 3 (Bekker reads <span class="greek2">ἀνομολογουμενους</span>); cf. 1 Esdr. 8:88 (90). <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, to declare something in honor of one, to celebrate his praises, <span class="accented">give thanks to him,</span> <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-38.htm">Luke 2:38</a>; (for <span class="hebrew">הודָה</span> in <a href="/interlinear/psalms/78-13.htm">Psalm 78:13</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 79:13>); 3Macc. 6:33; (<a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-31.htm">Daniel 4:31</a> (34) the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>; <span class="abbreviation">Test. xii.
