It encompasses both an inward attitude of the heart and outward expressions of faith. Piety is often associated with godliness, righteousness, and the fear of the Lord, and it is a central theme throughout Scripture.<br><br><b>Old Testament Understanding</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, piety is closely linked with the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). This fear is not a terror of God but a profound respect and awe for His majesty and holiness. The Hebrew word often translated as "piety" or "godliness" is "chasidut," which implies loyalty and faithfulness to God's covenant.<br><br>The Psalms frequently highlight the characteristics of a pious person. <a href="/psalms/1.htm">Psalm 1:1-2</a> describes the blessedness of the man who delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on it day and night. This delight and meditation are expressions of piety, reflecting a heart devoted to God's Word.<br><br>The life of Job is another example of piety in the Old Testament. Job is described as "blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil" (<a href="/job/1.htm">Job 1:1</a>). His steadfast faith and integrity, even amidst severe trials, exemplify true piety.<br><br><b>New Testament Perspective</b><br><br>In the New Testament, piety is often expressed through the Greek word "eusebeia," which denotes reverence and respect towards God. The Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of piety in the life of a believer. In <a href="/1_timothy/4-7.htm">1 Timothy 4:7-8</a> , Paul instructs Timothy to "train yourself for godliness. For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come."<br><br>The life and teachings of Jesus Christ provide the ultimate model of piety. Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience to the Father, demonstrating piety through His prayer life, His compassion for others, and His unwavering commitment to God's will. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches that true piety is not about outward appearances but about the sincerity of the heart (<a href="/matthew/6.htm">Matthew 6:1-18</a>).<br><br><b>Expressions of Piety</b><br><br>Piety manifests in various ways in the life of a believer. It includes regular prayer, study of Scripture, worship, and participation in the sacraments. Acts of charity and service to others are also expressions of piety, as they reflect the love and compassion of Christ.<br><br>The Apostle James highlights the practical aspect of piety, stating, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and undefiled is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" (<a href="/james/1-27.htm">James 1:27</a>). This underscores that true piety involves both devotion to God and ethical conduct towards others.<br><br><b>Challenges to Piety</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, there are warnings against false piety or hypocrisy. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their outward displays of religiosity that lacked genuine devotion (<a href="/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27-28</a>). True piety is not about external rituals but about a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit.<br><br>Believers are encouraged to pursue piety with sincerity and humility, recognizing that it is God who works in them to will and to act according to His good purpose (<a href="/philippians/2-13.htm">Philippians 2:13</a>). The pursuit of piety is a lifelong journey, marked by growth in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Lat. pietas, properly honour and respect toward parents (<a href="/1_timothy/5-4.htm">1 Timothy 5:4</a>). In <a href="/acts/17-23.htm">Acts 17:23</a> the Greek verb is rendered "ye worship," as applicable to God. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>n.</I>) Veneration or reverence of the Supreme Being, and love of his character; loving obedience to the will of God, and earnest devotion to his service.<p>2. (<I>n.</I>) Duty; dutifulness; filial reverence and devotion; affectionate reverence and service shown toward parents, relatives, benefactors, country, etc.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">PIETY</span><p>pi'-e-ti: Only in <a href="/1_timothy/5-4.htm">1 Timothy 5:4</a>: "Let them learn first to show piety toward their own family," where "let them show piety" represents a single Greek verb (eusebeo), in its only other occurrence (<a href="/acts/17-23.htm">Acts 17:23</a>) being rendered "worship." In Elizabethan English "piety" (like the Latin pietas) could be used of devotion to one's parents (as still in the phrase "filial piety"), as well as of devotion to God. Hence, there is no explicit statement here that filial devotion is one form of divine worship.<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2151.htm"><span class="l">2151. eusebeo -- to show <b>piety</b> towards</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to show <b>piety</b> towards.
