It conveys the idea of being morally or ritually pure, untouched by corruption or defilement. In a biblical context, it often refers to the purity and holiness that believers are called to maintain in their lives.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, purity and defilement were significant concepts, often associated with religious rituals and moral conduct. The idea of being "unstained" was important in both Jewish and early Christian thought, reflecting a life that is in accordance with God's standards. The use of "amiantos" in the New Testament underscores the call for believers to live lives that are distinct from the surrounding culture, marked by holiness and integrity.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>283</b> <i>amíantos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "not" and <a href="/greek/3392.htm">3392</a> <i>/miaínō</i>, "to stain, defile") – properly, untinted (unstained); (figuratively) undefiled because unstained.</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>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/3392.htm">miainó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>undefiled<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>undefiled (4).<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 283: ἀμίαντος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμίαντος</span></span>, (<span class="greek2">μιαίνω</span>), "not defiled, unsoiled; free from that by which the nature of a thing is deformed and debased, or its force and vigor impaired": <span class="greek2">καίτη</span> pure, free from adultery, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/13-4.htm">Hebrews 13:4</a>; <span class="greek2">κληρονομία</span> (without defect), <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/1-4.htm">1 Peter 1:4</a>; <span class="greek2">θρησκεία</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-27.htm">James 1:27</a>; pure from sin, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-26.htm">Hebrews 7:26</a>.
