It is used in the New Testament to describe a girl or young woman who serves in a household, often in a position of subservience. The term can also imply youth and inexperience, highlighting the social status and age of the individual.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, a "paidiské" was typically a young female servant who performed domestic duties. These individuals were often part of a household's extended family structure, though they held a lower social status. The role of a maidservant was common in both Jewish and Gentile households, reflecting the broader societal norms of servitude and class distinctions of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>dim. of <a href="/greek/3816.htm">pais</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a young girl, maidservant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bondwoman (5), servant-girl (4), servant-girls (1), slave-girl (2), slaves* (1), women (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 3814: παιδίσκη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παιδίσκη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παιδίσκης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (feminine of <span class="greek2">παιδίσκος</span>, a young boy or slave; a diminutive of <span class="greek2">παῖς</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">νεανίσκος</span></span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a young girl, damsel</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Menander</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Lucian</span>; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/ruth/4-12.htm">Ruth 4:12</a>). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a maid-servant, a young female slave</span>; cf.
