[2] Godliness is closely akin to holiness in Scripture. Strong’s Concordance lists holiness as a synonym for godliness. Vine says godliness is “that piety which is characterized by a Godward attitude, and does that which is well pleasing to Him” (Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, p. 162).
