Usage: The term χρώς is used in the context of describing the skin or outer surface of a person. It is a term that appears in ancient Greek literature and is used to denote the physical aspect of the human body, particularly the skin. Context: The Greek word χρώς (chros) is a term that refers to the skin or the outermost layer of the human body. In the context of the New Testament, the word is not frequently used, but it carries significant implications when it appears. The skin, as the body's largest organ, serves as a protective barrier and is often associated with health, cleanliness, and identity in biblical literature. The concept of skin in the Bible can also be metaphorically linked to themes of purity, leprosy, and healing, as seen in various scriptural narratives.
