Hosiotes names a holy quality associated with righteousness: it describes life before God in Luke 1:75 and the new self created according to God in Ephesians 4:24.

Senses in use

  1. Holy quality joined with righteousness · dominant

    Both occurrences use the dative singular form in a pairing with righteousness. In Luke 1:75 the APB renders life "in holiness and righteousness before him," while in Ephesians 4:24 it renders the new self as created according to God "in righteousness and holiness of the truth."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "holiness" in both verses, pairing it with righteousness; This shows the clauses' presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
