It often contrasts the new covenant with the old, the spiritual with the physical, or the eternal with the temporal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, comparisons were often made to highlight the superiority of one thing over another, whether in philosophy, politics, or religion. The use of κρείττων in the New Testament reflects this cultural practice, emphasizing the superiority of Christ, His covenant, and His promises over previous systems and beliefs. This term would resonate with both Jewish and Gentile audiences familiar with the concept of striving for excellence and superiority.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2909</b> <i>kreíttōn</i> (the comparative form of <a href="/greek/2904.htm">2904</a> <i>/krátos</i>, "dominion") – what is <i>better</i> because more fully developed, i.e. in <i>reaching the needed dominion</i> (mastery, dominance); "<i>better</i>" after exerting the <i>power</i> needed to "plant down God's flag of victory."</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>cptv. of the same as <a href="/greek/2903.htm">kratistos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>better<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>better (17), better things (1), greater (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 2909: κρείττων</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κρείττων</span></span> and (<a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-38.htm">1 Corinthians 7:38</a>; <a href="/interlinear/philippians/1-23.htm">Philippians 1:23</a>; in other places the reading varies between the two forms, especially in <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-9.htm">1 Corinthians 7:9</a> (here <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> text <span class="greek2">κρείττων</span>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:1 Corinthians 11:17>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-9.htm">Hebrews 6:9</a> (here and in the preceding passage <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">κρείσσων</span>; see <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 148f; cf.
