It can also denote the moral character or disposition of an individual. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the established practices or traditions that are followed by a community or individual.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, "éthos" was a significant concept, often associated with the moral character and ethical behavior of individuals. It was considered essential for the functioning of society, as it encompassed the shared values and practices that bound communities together. In the context of the New Testament, understanding "éthos" helps to illuminate the cultural and religious practices of the Jewish and early Christian communities.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2239</b> <i>ēthos</i> (from <a href="/greek/1485.htm">1485</a> <i>/éthos</i>, "habit, custom") – "familiar morals," referring to daily <i>life-style</i> (moral <i>habits</i>, behavioral <i>patterns</i>). <a href="/greek/2239.htm">2239</a> <i>/ēthos</i> ("habits, <i>morally</i> regarded") only occurs in 1 Cor 15:33.</p><p class="discovery">[The English term "ethics" is derived from <a href="/greek/2239.htm">2239</a> <i>/ēthos</i>.]</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>prol. form of <a href="/greek/1485.htm">ethos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>custom<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>morals (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 2239: ἦθος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἦθος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ᾔθεος</span> (<span class="greek2">ἐθους</span>), <span class="greek2">τό</span> (akin to <span class="greek2">ἔθος</span>, probably from <span class="greek2">ἘΩ</span>, whence <span class="greek2">ἧμαι</span>, <span class="greek2">έ῾ζω</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 379)); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a customary abode, dwelling-place, haunt, customary state</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Hesiod</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">custom, usage</span> (cf.
