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 (1 Timothy 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," i.e. toward parents.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
