Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunétheia," the concept of custom or habit can be related to Hebrew terms like חֹק (choq, "statute") or מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, "judgment" or "ordinance"), which denote established practices or laws. Usage: The term "sunétheia" refers to a customary practice or habitual behavior. It denotes something that is done regularly or traditionally, often without much thought, due to its established nature. In the New Testament, it is used to describe practices that are part of a community's or individual's routine. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, customs and traditions played a significant role in daily life. These practices were often tied to religious, social, and familial structures. The early Christian communities, emerging from Jewish traditions and interacting with Gentile cultures, had to navigate which customs to retain, modify, or abandon in light of their new faith in Christ.
