Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: hosiotés
Phonetic Spelling: (hos-ee-ot'-ace)
Definition: piety, holiness
Usage: holiness, godliness, piety.

Cognate: 3742 hosiótēs (from 3741 /hósios, "what is sanctioned by the Lord") – properly, what God sanctions, i.e. what the Lord defines (ordains) as holy and just. See 3741 (hosios).

3742 /hosiótēs ("holiness") looks to the application of what God defines as sanctioned (i.e. as heaven's will works out on earth). This is holiness "fleshed out," i.e. incarnated by living in faith.

[Note the close relationship of faith (4102 /pístis, "God's inbirthed persuasion") and 3742 (hosiótēs) in Eph 4:5-24.]
