The economy was largely based on agriculture, trade, and various crafts.

The New Testament often uses business metaphors to illustrate spiritual truths, reflecting the importance of diligence and stewardship in both secular and spiritual matters.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4230</b> <i>pragmateía</i> – a necessary daily (business) transaction. <a href="/greek/4231.htm">See 4231</a> (<i>pragmateuomai</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>from <a href="/greek/4231.htm">pragmateuomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>careful application, hard work<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>affairs (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 4230: πραγματεία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πραγματεία</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">πραγματια</span>; see Iota), <span class="greek2">πραγματείας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">πραγματεύομαι</span>), prosecution of any affair; <span class="accented">business, occupation</span>: plural with the addition of <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">βίου</span>, pursuits and occupations pertaining to civil life, opposed to warfare (<span class="abbreviation">A.
