It asks or indicates the kind or sort of person or thing being referred to. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the character or nature of a subject, often in moral or ethical contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, understanding the nature or quality of a person or thing was crucial for philosophical and ethical discussions. The use of ὁποῖος in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on character and essence, often in the context of moral teaching and spiritual discernment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3739.htm">hos,</a> and <a href="/greek/4169.htm">poios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>of what sort<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>quality (1), what (1), what kind (2), what kind of person (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 3697: ὁποῖος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁποῖος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁποια</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁποῖόν</span> (<span class="greek2">ποῖος</span> with the relative <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>), (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">of what sort or quality, what manner of</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/3-13.htm">1 Corinthians 3:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/galatians/2-6.htm">Galatians 2:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/1-9.htm">1 Thessalonians 1:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/james/1-24.htm">James 1:24</a>; preceded by <span class="greek2">τοιοῦτος</span> (such as), <a href="/interlinear/acts/26-29.htm">Acts 26:29</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>what manner of<p>From <a href="/greek/3739.htm">hos</a> and <a href="/greek/4169.htm">poios</a>; of what kind that, i.e. How (as) great (excellent) (specially, as an indefinite correlative to the definite antecedent <a href="/greek/5108.htm">toioutos</a> of quality) -- what manner (sort) of, such as whatsoever. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/3739.htm">hos</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/4169.htm">poios</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/5108.htm">toioutos</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>οποιαν οποίαν ὁποίαν οποιοι οποίοί ὁποῖοί οποιον οποίόν ὁποῖόν οποιος οποίος ὁποῖος hopoian hopoían hopoioi hopoîoí hopoion hopoîón hopoios hopoîos opoian opoioi opoion opoios<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/acts/26-29.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Acts 26:29</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Adjective -
