Strong's Lexicon biósis: Living, manner of life Original Word: βίωσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb βιόω (bioō), meaning "to live" or "to pass one's life." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often relates to the concept of "life" or "living," such as חַיִּים (chayim, Strong's H2416), which denotes life, living, or lifetime. Usage: The term "biósis" refers to the manner or course of life, emphasizing the way in which life is lived. It is concerned with the practical aspects of living, including one's conduct and lifestyle. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the earthly life and the way it is conducted. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "biósis" would have been understood in the context of one's social and ethical conduct. Life was often viewed in terms of one's public and private behavior, and how it aligned with societal norms and philosophical ideals. The New Testament writers, influenced by Jewish and Hellenistic thought, often contrasted the earthly life with the spiritual life, urging believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling in Christ.
