It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of expressing admiration or approval, particularly in a religious or worshipful setting. This term emphasizes the vocal and public declaration of God's attributes, works, and character.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, praise was a common practice in both religious and secular contexts. Public praise was often directed towards deities, rulers, and heroes. In Jewish tradition, praising God was an integral part of worship, deeply rooted in the Psalms and other Old Testament scriptures. The early Christian community continued this tradition, using praise as a means to express their faith and devotion to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/136.htm">ainos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to praise<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>give praise (1), praise (2), praising (5).<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 134: αἰνέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αἰνέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ῶ</span>; (found in secular authors of every age (<span class="accented">only twice in good Attic prose</span> (where <span class="greek2">ἐπαινέω</span> <span class="greek2">παραινέω</span>. etc, take its place), <span class="abbreviation">Veitch</span>), but especially frequent in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> and the Apocrypha of the O.
