Strong's Lexicon hagiotés: Holiness Original Word: ἁγιότης Word Origin: Derived from ἅγιος (hagios), meaning "holy" or "sacred." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of holiness is קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh), Strong's Hebrew #6944, which also denotes sacredness and separation unto God. Usage: The term "hagiotés" refers to the state or quality of being holy, emphasizing the sacredness and moral purity that is characteristic of God and expected of His people. It is used to describe the divine nature and the call for believers to live in a manner that reflects God's holiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, holiness was often associated with the divine and the sacred, set apart from the common or profane. In the Jewish tradition, holiness was central to the identity of Israel as God's chosen people, who were called to be distinct from other nations through their covenant relationship with Yahweh. The New Testament continues this theme, urging believers to embody holiness as a reflection of their relationship with Christ.
