Berean Strong's Lexicon asebés: Ungodly, impious, irreverent Original Word: ἀσεβής Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: asebés Pronunciation: ah-seb-ACE Phonetic Spelling: (as-eb-ace') Definition: Ungodly, impious, irreverent Meaning: impious, ungodly, wicked. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2611 (חָנֵף, chaneph): Often translated as "profane" or "godless," indicating moral corruption or irreverence. - H7563 (רָשָׁע, rasha): Translated as "wicked" or "ungodly," referring to those who are morally wrong or guilty. Usage: The term "asebés" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals or behaviors that are contrary to the reverence and worship due to God. It characterizes a state of moral and spiritual corruption, where there is a deliberate rejection or neglect of God's authority and commandments. This word often conveys a sense of active opposition to God's will and a lifestyle that is inconsistent with His holiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, piety and reverence were important cultural values, often associated with the worship of the pantheon of gods. The term "asebés" would have been understood as a serious accusation, implying not only a lack of religious observance but also a threat to social order. In the Jewish context, it would denote a failure to adhere to the covenantal laws and a rejection of the God of Israel.
