Usage: The Greek word "κρέας" (kreas) refers to meat or flesh, typically in the context of food. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the physical substance of animal flesh that is consumed as food. The term is often associated with discussions about dietary practices and the consumption of meat offered to idols. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, meat was a common part of the diet, though its availability varied based on social and economic status.
