Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἀξιός," the concept of worthiness can be related to Hebrew words like כָּבוֹד (kabod, H3519) meaning "glory" or "honor," and צַדִּיק (tsaddiq, H6662) meaning "righteous." Usage: The Greek word "ἀξιός" (axiós) is used to describe something or someone that is deemed worthy or deserving of a particular status, action, or reward. It often conveys the idea of being suitable or fitting in a moral or ethical sense. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe individuals or actions that are in alignment with God's standards or expectations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of worthiness was often tied to social status, honor, and reputation.

In the context of the early Christian church, worthiness was redefined to align with the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing moral and spiritual qualities over social or economic status.
