Strong's Lexicon kainotés: Newness Original Word: καινότης Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: kainotés Pronunciation: kai-NO-tace Phonetic Spelling: (kahee-not'-ace) Definition: Newness Meaning: freshness, newness, novelty. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective καινός (kainos), meaning "new" or "fresh." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kainotés," the concept of newness can be related to the Hebrew word חָדָשׁ (chadash), Strong's Hebrew 2319, which also means "new" or "fresh." Usage: The term "kainotés" refers to the state or quality of being new, emphasizing a fresh, unprecedented, or novel condition. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the transformative newness of life and spirit that believers experience through their relationship with Christ. This newness is not merely a change in behavior but a fundamental transformation of one's nature and existence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "newness" was often associated with innovation and change, which could be viewed with both excitement and suspicion. For early Christians, "kainotés" signified a radical departure from the old ways of sin and death, embracing a new life in Christ. This was a powerful message in a culture steeped in tradition and ritual, offering hope and renewal through the Gospel.
