It is used in the New Testament to denote one's biological or legal parents. The word emphasizes the role of parents in the upbringing and nurturing of children, highlighting the familial bond and responsibilities inherent in the parent-child relationship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the family was a central social unit, and the role of parents was highly esteemed. Parents were responsible for the education, moral instruction, and religious upbringing of their children. The Jewish tradition, as reflected in the Old Testament, also placed a strong emphasis on honoring one's parents, as seen in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:12). This cultural backdrop underscores the importance of the term "goneus" in the New Testament context.
