In the New Testament, it is used to describe the spiritual adoption of believers into the family of God, signifying a change in status from being outside of God's family to becoming His children with full rights and privileges.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, adoption was a common practice, often used to ensure an heir for a family or to continue a family line. An adopted son would receive the same rights and inheritance as a biological son. This cultural understanding provides a rich backdrop for the New Testament writers, who use the concept of adoption to illustrate the believer's new relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The idea of adoption emphasizes the grace and intentionality of God in choosing believers to be His children.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5206</b> <i>hyiothesía</i> (from <a href="/greek/5207.htm">5207</a> <i>/hyiós</i>, "son" and <a href="/greek/5087.htm">5087</a> <i>/títhēmi</i>, "to place") – properly, <i>sonship</i> (legally made a <i>son</i>); <i>adoption</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>probably from a comp. of <a href="/greek/5207.htm">huios</a> and a derivation of <a href="/greek/5087.htm">tithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>adoption<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>adoption as sons (5).<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 5206: υἱοθεσία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">υἱοθεσία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">υἱοθεσίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">υἱός</span> and <span class="greek2">θέσις</span>, cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ὁροθεσία</span></span>, <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">νομοθεσία</span></span>; in secular authors from <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down we find <span class="greek2">θετός</span> <span class="greek2">υἱός</span> or <span class="greek2">θετός</span> <span class="greek2">παῖς</span>, an adopted son), <span class="accented">adoption, adoption as sons</span> (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">adoptio filiorum</span>): (<span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 1. 31 § 27, 5 (vol. 10:31, 13 Dindorf)); (<span class="abbreviation">Diogenes Laërtius</span> 4, 53; Inscriptions.
