In the New Testament, it is used to denote the universe as an ordered creation, the earth, the inhabitants of the earth, and the worldly affairs or systems opposed to God. It can also refer to adornment or decoration, as seen in 1 Peter 3:3.Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, "kosmos" was used to describe the universe's order and harmony, reflecting the Greek appreciation for balance and beauty. Philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato used the term to discuss the cosmos's structure and the universe's inherent order. In the New Testament context, "kosmos" often contrasts the divine order with the fallen state of humanity and the world system that stands in opposition to God's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>2889 kósmos (literally, "something ordered") – properly, an "ordered system" (like the universe, creation); the world.[The English term "cosmetic" is derived from <a href="/greek/2889.htm">2889</a> /kósmos, i.e. the order ("ensemble") used of treating the face as a whole.]<iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin a prim. word Definition order, the world NASB Translation adornment (1), world (184), world's (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 2889: κόσμος κόσμος, κόσμου, ὁ; 1. in Greek writings from Homer down, an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, or der. 2. as in Greek writings from Homer down, ornament, decoration, adornment: ἐνδύσεως ἱματίων, <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/3-3.htm">1 Peter 3:3</a> (Sir. 6:30 Sir. 21:21; 2 Macc. 2:2; the Sept. for צָבָא of the arrangement of the stars, 'the heavenly hosts,' as the ornament of the heavens, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/2-1.htm">Genesis 2:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/4-19.htm">Deuteronomy 4:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/17-8.htm">Deuteronomy 17:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/24-21.htm">Isaiah 24:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/40-26.htm">Isaiah 40:26</a>; besides occasionally for עֲדִי; twice for תִּפְאֶרֶת, <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/20-29.htm">Proverbs 20:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/3-19.htm">Isaiah 3:19</a>). 3. the world, i. e. the universe (quem κόσμονGraeci nomine ornamenti appellarunt, eum nos a perfecta absolutaque elegantia mundum, Pliny, h. n. 2, 3; in which sense Pythagoras is said to have been the first to use the word, Plutarch, de plac. philos. 2, 1, 1, p. 886 c.; but according to other accounts he used it of the heavens, (Diogenes Laërtius 8, 48, of which it is used several times also by other Greek writers (see Menag. on (Diogenes Laërtius, the passage cited; Bentley, Epistles of Phalaris, vol. i., 391 (Lond. 1886); M.
