Strong's Lexicon eusebeó: To show piety, to be devout, to act reverently Original Word: εὐσεβέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: eusebeó Pronunciation: yoo-seb-eh'-o Phonetic Spelling: (yoo-seb-eh'-o) Definition: I am dutiful, pious, show piety towards, worship. Meaning: To act piously, to show reverence or devotion, to live in a manner that reflects godliness and respect for the divine. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective εὐσεβής (eusebēs), meaning "pious" or "devout," which itself comes from εὖ (eu, "well") and σέβομαι (sebomai, "to worship" or "to revere"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 3373: יָרֵא (yare) • Often translated as "fear" or "revere," this term conveys a sense of awe and respect towards God, similar to the reverence implied in εὐσεβέω. • Strong's Hebrew 2623: חָסִיד (chasid) • Translated as "godly" or "faithful," this term describes those who are devoted to God and live according to His statutes, paralleling the concept of living piously as expressed by εὐσεβέω. Usage: The verb εὐσεβέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of living a life that is characterized by piety and reverence towards God. It emphasizes the outward expression of inner devotion and respect for divine principles. Context: The term εὐσεβέω appears in the New Testament as a call to live a life that is reflective of one's devotion to God. It is not merely an internal feeling but is demonstrated through actions and behaviors that align with godly principles. This concept is closely related to the idea of godliness, which encompasses both the inner attitude of reverence and the outward expression of that reverence in daily life. In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of εὐσεβέω is illustrated in passages that encourage believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling, demonstrating their faith through actions. For example, in 1 Timothy 5:4, the emphasis is on showing piety within one's family, indicating that true godliness begins at home and extends outward into the community. The New Testament context of εὐσεβέω often contrasts true piety with mere external religiosity, highlighting the importance of sincerity and authenticity in one's devotion to God. This aligns with the broader biblical theme that God desires a heart that is fully committed to Him, as evidenced by a life that consistently reflects His character and commands.
