In the New Testament, it is used to describe the transformative newness of life and spirit that believers experience through their relationship with Christ. This newness is not merely a change in behavior but a fundamental transformation of one's nature and existence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "newness" was often associated with innovation and change, which could be viewed with both excitement and suspicion. For early Christians, "kainotés" signified a radical departure from the old ways of sin and death, embracing a new life in Christ. This was a powerful message in a culture steeped in tradition and ritual, offering hope and renewal through the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2537.htm">kainos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>newness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>newness (2).<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 2538: καινότης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καινότης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καινότητος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">καινός</span>), <span class="accented">newness</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">καινότητι</span> <span class="greek2">πνεύματος</span>, in the new state (of life) in which the Holy Spirit places us, <a href="/interlinear/romans/7-6.htm">Romans 7:6</a>;
