◄ 53. hagnos ►
Strong's Lexicon hagnos: Pure, chaste, holy Original Word: ἁγνός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: hagnos Pronunciation: hag-nos' Phonetic Spelling: (hag-nos') Definition: Pure, chaste, holy Meaning: (originally, in a condition prepared for worship), pure (either ethically, or ritually, ceremonially), chaste. Word Origin: Derived from the same root as ἅγιος (hagios), meaning "holy" or "sacred." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "hagnos" is טָהוֹר (tahor), which also means pure or clean, used in contexts such as ceremonial cleanliness and moral purity. Usage: The Greek word "hagnos" primarily denotes purity in a moral or ceremonial sense. It is often used to describe something that is free from defilement or corruption, whether physical, moral, or spiritual. In the New Testament, "hagnos" is used to emphasize the importance of purity in thought, action, and intention, reflecting a life that is set apart for God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, purity was often associated with religious rituals and the idea of being clean before the gods. In Jewish culture, purity was a significant aspect of the Law, with numerous regulations concerning ceremonial cleanliness. The New Testament writers, drawing from these backgrounds, emphasize a deeper, spiritual purity that goes beyond external rituals to encompass the heart and mind.
