Strong's Lexicon toioutos: such, such as this, of this kind Original Word: τοιοῦτος Word Origin: From τοῖος (toios, "such") and οὗτος (houtos, "this") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τοιοῦτος, similar concepts of "such" or "of this kind" can be found in Hebrew words like כָּזֶה (kazeh, "like this") or אֵלֶּה (elleh, "these"). Usage: The Greek word τοιοῦτος (toioutos) is a demonstrative pronoun used to describe something of a particular kind or quality. It often emphasizes the nature or character of the subject it refers to, highlighting its distinctiveness or uniqueness. In the New Testament, it is used to draw attention to specific qualities or characteristics, often in moral or spiritual contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, language was a powerful tool for distinguishing between different kinds of people, behaviors, and objects. The use of demonstrative pronouns like τοιοῦτος helped speakers and writers to specify and clarify their points, making distinctions clear to their audience. In the context of the New Testament, this word often underscores the distinctiveness of Christian virtues or behaviors in contrast to the surrounding culture.
