It conveys a sense of belonging and intimate association, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual kinship among believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of the household (oikos) was central to social structure. The household included not only the nuclear family but also extended family members, slaves, and servants. Being "oikeios" implied a close, familial relationship, often with legal and social obligations. In the early Christian context, this term was used to emphasize the spiritual family formed by believers, transcending traditional family boundaries.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3609: οἰκεῖος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">οἰκεῖος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">οἰκεῖα</span>, <span class="greek2">οἰκεῖον</span> (<span class="greek2">οἶκος</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Hesiod</span> down, <span class="accented">belonging to a house or family, domestic, intimate</span>: belonging to one's household, <span class="accented">related by blood, kindred,</span> <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-8.htm">1 Timothy 5:8</a>; <span class="greek2">οἰκεῖοι</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span>, belonging to God's household, i. e. to the theocracy, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/2-19.htm">Ephesians 2:19</a>; in a wider sense, with a genitive of the thing, <span class="accented">belonging to, devoted to, adherents of</span> a thing, <span class="greek2">οἱ</span> <span class="greek2">οἰκεῖοι</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">πίστεως</span>, professors of the (Christian) faith, <a href="/interlinear/galatians/6-10.htm">Galatians 6:10</a> (but others associate this passage with that from Ephesians as above; see <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span> at the passage); so <span class="greek2">οἰκεῖος</span> <span class="greek2">φιλοσοφίας</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Strabo</span> 1, p. 13 b.
