Piety
VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
1Ti_5:4, "show piety at home" or "reverential dutifulness toward one's own house." The filial relation represents our relation to our heavenly Father.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
Piety. This word occurs, but once in the Authorized Version: "Let them learn first to show piety at home," better "toward their own household" or family. 1Ti_5:4. The choice of this word here, instead of the more usual equivalents, of "godliness," "reverence," and the like, was probably determined by the special sense of pietas, as "erga parentes", that is, toward parents.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
pı̄?e-ti: Only in 1Ti_5:4 : ?Let them learn first to show piety toward their own family,? where ?let them show piety? represents a single Greek verb (εὐσεβέω, eusebéō), in its only other occurrence (Act_17:23) being rendered ?worship.? In Elizabethan English ?piety? (like the Latin pietas) could be used of devotion to one's parents (as still in the phrase ?filial piety?), as well as of devotion to God. Hence, there is no explicit statement here that filial devotion is one form of divine worship.

Piety
occurs but once in the A.V.: "Let them learn first to show piety at home" (τὸν ἴδιον οικον εὐσεβεῖν, better, towards their own household," 1Ti_5:4). The choice of this word here instead of the more usual equivalents of "godliness," "reverence," and the like, was probably determined by the special sense of pietas, as "erga parentes" (Cicero, Partit. 22; Rep. 6:15; Inv. 2:22). It does not appear in the earlier English versions, and we may recognise in its application in this passage a special felicity. A word was wanted for εὐσεβεῖν which, unlike "showing godliness," would admit of a human as well as a divine object, and this piety supplied. Smith.
Piety, or godliness, only another name for personal religion, consists in a firm belief, and in right conceptions of the being, perfections, and providence of God; with suitable affections to him, resemblance of his moral perfections, and a constant obedience to his will. The different articles included in this definition, such as knowledge, veneration, love, resignation, etc., are explained in their proper places in this work. For Perverted Piety, SEE ETHICS.
