128Lit., “holiness of truth” (ὁσɩóτητɩ τῆς ἀληθείας); ὁσɩóτης is not found elsewhere in the Pauline corpus. The adjective ὅσɩος comes in 1 Tim. 2:8 (ὁσɩονς ϰεῖϱας) and Tit. 1:8 (where it appears between δίϰαɩος and ἐγϰϱατής in a list of qualifications in a church elder), and the adverb ὁσίως in 1 Thess. 2:10 (ὁσίως ϰαὶ δɩϰαίως ϰαὶ ἀμέμπτως, in relation to the conduct of Paul and his companions). As for the collocation of δɩϰαɩοσύνη with ὁσɩóτης here, cf. (in addition to 1 Thess. 2:10 and Tit. 1:8 just cited) Luke 1:75, ἐν δσɩóτητɩ ϰαὶ
. In classical Greek the difference between ὅσɩος and δίϰαɩος is that the former belongs to one’s attitude to God and the latter to one’s attitude to other human beings. In the LXX ὅσɩος renders Heb. ḥāsîḏ (“loyal,” “pious”) whereas ἄγɩος renders Heb. qāḏôš (“set apart [to God]”).
