It can also denote food itself, particularly in the context of sustenance or nourishment. In the New Testament, "brósis" is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual nourishment or the consumption of spiritual truths.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, meals were significant social events, often reflecting one's social status and community relationships. Eating together was a sign of fellowship and unity. In Jewish culture, dietary laws and practices were central to religious life, symbolizing purity and obedience to God. The early Christian community redefined these practices, emphasizing spiritual nourishment through Christ, the "bread of life."<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/977.htm">bibróskó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>eating, food<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>eating (2), food (6), meal (1), rust (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 1035: βρῶσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βρῶσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βρώσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">βρόω</span>, <span class="greek2">βιβρώσκω</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">the act of eating</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Tertullian</span><span class="latin">esus</span>): <span class="greek2">βρῶσις</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">πόσις</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/14-17.htm">Romans 14:17</a> (on which see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">βασιλεία</span></span>, 3); with the genitive of the object <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/8-4.htm">1 Corinthians 8:4</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, de rep. 10, p. 619 c. <span class="greek2">παίδων</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτοῦ</span>); in a wider sense, <span class="accented">corrosion</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19</a>f. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> as almost everywhere in Greek writings <span class="accented">that which is eaten, food, aliment</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-16.htm">Hebrews 12:16</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">βρῶσιν</span> <span class="accented">for food,</span> <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/9-10.htm">2 Corinthians 9:10</a> (Wis. 4:5); <span class="greek2">βρῶσις</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> (so <span class="manuref">WH</span> text <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading; others <span class="greek2">ἤ</span>) <span class="greek2">πόσις</span>, <a href="/interlinear/colossians/2-16.htm">Colossians 2:16</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Odyssey 1, 191; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, legg. 6, 783{c}; <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, mem. 1, 3, 15; (cf.
