Eulabeia denotes a reverent posture toward God in prayer and acceptable worship.

The attested use depicts a reverent posture toward God: in Hebrews 5:7 it accompanies petitions offered with cries and tears, and in Hebrews 12:28 it accompanies acceptable worship.

Senses in use

  1. Reverent posture in approaching God · dominant

    The genitive singular form occurs in Hebrews 5:7 in the account of petitions and supplications offered to the one able to save from death; the APB renders the closing reason as “because of his reverence.” In Hebrews 12:28, the same form stands with the call to offer acceptable worship to God; the APB renders the manner as “with reverence and awe.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both occurrences, the APB presents the term with “reverence,” once as the reason for being heard and once alongside “awe” in worship. This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
