Strong's Lexicon asebeia: Ungodliness, impiety, wickedness Original Word: ἀσέβεια Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἀσεβής (asebēs), meaning "impious" or "ungodly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "asebeia" is רֶשַׁע (resha, Strong's H7562), which means wickedness or unrighteousness. Usage: The term "asebeia" refers to a state of irreverence or lack of respect towards God and divine things. It denotes a lifestyle or behavior that is contrary to the reverence and worship due to God. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the moral and spiritual condition of those who live in opposition to God's will and commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, religious piety was an important aspect of social and civic life. The concept of "asebeia" would have been understood as a serious offense, not only against the gods but also against the social order. In the Jewish context, ungodliness was seen as a violation of the covenant relationship with Yahweh, leading to moral decay and divine judgment.
