Translation of a Hebrew expression and several Greek terms. 1. NIV used piety to translate the Hebrew idiom “the fear [or reverence] of the Lord” (Job 4:6; Job 15:4; Job 22:4; compare REB). 2. NRSV used piety to translate the Greek term meaning, “righteousness” (Matthew 6:1 ), where the concern was with an external show of religion (Matthew 6:2-6 ). 3 . Piety translates two Greek terms for fear or reverence for God (Acts 3:12 NAS, NRSV; Hebrews 5:7 NAS). 3. Piety represents the religious duty of caring for the physical needs of elderly family members ( 1 Timothy 5:4 KJV, NAS).
