Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Lois, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of generational faithfulness can be linked to Hebrew entries that discuss family and heritage, such as אֵם (em, H517) for "mother" or זָקֵן (zaqen, H2205) for "elder."

Usage: Lois is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to the grandmother of Timothy. She is noted for her sincere faith, which she passed down to her daughter Eunice and grandson Timothy. Her mention highlights the importance of familial faith and the transmission of spiritual values across generations.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the early Christian church, family played a crucial role in the transmission of faith. Lois, as a Jewish believer, would have been part of a community that valued the teachings of the Hebrew Scriptures and the emerging Christian doctrine. Her influence on Timothy, who became a close companion and mentee of the Apostle Paul, underscores the significant role women played in nurturing and sustaining the early Christian faith within households.
