It is a comparative term that suggests improvement or superiority over another option or state.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Greek culture, the concept of "better" was often associated with moral, ethical, or qualitative superiority. The Greeks valued virtues such as wisdom, courage, and justice, and the term "beltión" would have been used to describe something that exemplified these virtues more than another. In the New Testament, this term is used to convey spiritual or moral superiority, often in the context of faith and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adverb from the cptv. of <a href="/greek/18.htm">agathos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>better<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>very well (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 957: βελτίων</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βελτίων</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βέλτιον</span>, genitive <span class="greek2">βελτιονος</span>, <span class="accented">better</span>;
