Usage: The Greek word ὁποῖος (hopoios) is used to describe the nature or quality of something, often in a comparative or interrogative sense. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
