In the New Testament, it is used to describe the practice of giving to those in need as an expression of mercy and compassion, reflecting the character of God. It emphasizes the importance of generosity and selflessness in the life of a believer.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Jewish tradition, almsgiving was considered a righteous act and an essential component of religious life. It was seen as a way to fulfill the commandments of the Torah, which emphasized care for the poor, widows, and orphans. During the time of Jesus, almsgiving was a common practice among the Jewish people, often performed publicly to demonstrate piety. However, Jesus taught that such acts should be done discreetly and with the right heart attitude, focusing on the needs of others rather than seeking personal recognition.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1656.htm">eleos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>mercy, pity, spec. alms<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>alms (7), charity (3), giving (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 1654: ἐλεημοσύνη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐλεημοσύνη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐλεημοσύνης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἐλεήμων</span>), the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">חֶסֶד</span> and <span class="hebrew">צְדָקָה</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">δικαιοσύνη</span></span>, 1 b.); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">mercy, pity</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Callimachus</span> (<DATE_RANGE:260 B.C.>) in Del. 152; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/38-18.htm">Isaiah 38:18</a>; Sir. 17:22 (<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Sir 17:24>), etc.), especially <span class="accented">as exhibited in giving alms, charity</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/6-4.htm">Matthew 6:4</a>; <span class="greek2">ποιεῖν</span> <span class="greek2">ἐλεημοσύνην</span>, to practise the virtue of mercy or beneficence, to show one's compassion (<span class="abbreviation">A.
