Strong's Lexicon biótikos: Pertaining to life, worldly, temporal Original Word: βιωτικός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word βίος (bios), meaning "life" or "manner of life." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "biótikos," the concept can be related to Hebrew words like חַי (chai), meaning "life," or עוֹלָם (olam), referring to the world or age, which often carry similar connotations of life and worldly existence. Usage: The term "biótikos" is used to describe things related to everyday life, particularly in the context of worldly or temporal matters. It often contrasts with spiritual or eternal concerns, highlighting the distinction between earthly existence and spiritual life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "bios" was often associated with one's manner of living, including social status, wealth, and daily activities. The New Testament writers, influenced by this cultural understanding, used "biótikos" to address the concerns and affairs of daily life, often in contrast to spiritual priorities.
