εὐσέβειαν
eusébeia
godliness
Devoutness or reverence, particularly toward the divine; the quality of exhibiting appropriate respect, devotion, and duty in religious or spiritual matters. In broader usage, refers to a manner of living characterized by reverence, respect, and fulfillment of one's obligations toward the divine, authorities, and social norms. In Hellenistic and Koine contexts (including the New Testament), usually denotes the practical expression of one's reverence for the divine through behavior, rather than mere inner feeling.
