It is used in the New Testament to denote one's biological or legal parents. The word emphasizes the role of parents in the upbringing and nurturing of children, highlighting the familial bond and responsibilities inherent in the parent-child relationship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the family was a central social unit, and the role of parents was highly esteemed. Parents were responsible for the education, moral instruction, and religious upbringing of their children.
