It implies a devout and respectful attitude towards God, often manifesting in worship, prayer, and righteous living. This term emphasizes the outward expression of one's inner faith and devotion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, piety was a significant virtue, often associated with fulfilling one's duties to the gods, family, and society. The concept of εὐσεβέω would have resonated with early Christians who were called to live out their faith in a manner that was distinct from the surrounding pagan culture. For Christians, true piety was not just about external rituals but a heartfelt devotion to the one true God, as revealed in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2151</b> <i>eusebéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2152.htm">2152</a> <i>/eusebḗs</i>) – pay homage (to revere). <a href="/greek/2150.htm">See 2150</a> (<i>eusebeia</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/2152.htm">eusebés</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to show piety towards<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>practice piety (1), worship (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 2151: εὐσεβέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐσεβέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐυσεβω</span> (<span class="greek2">εὐσεβής</span>);
