It denotes something that is done regularly or traditionally, often without much thought, due to its established nature. In the New Testament, it is used to describe practices that are part of a community's or individual's routine.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, customs and traditions played a significant role in daily life. These practices were often tied to religious, social, and familial structures. The early Christian communities, emerging from Jewish traditions and interacting with Gentile cultures, had to navigate which customs to retain, modify, or abandon in light of their new faith in Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/2239.htm">éthos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>habit, habitual use<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>accustomed (1), custom (1), practice (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 4914: συνήθεια</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συνήθεια</span></span>, <span class="greek2">συνηθείας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">συνήθης</span>, and this from <span class="greek2">σύν</span> and <span class="greek2">ἦθος</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Isocrates</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span> down, Latin<span class="latin">consuetudo</span>, i. e. <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">contact (with one), intimacy</span>: 4 Macc. 13:21. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">custom</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/18-39.htm">John 18:39</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 189, 45);
