- Fatness, rich quality3.59
- πιότης names the rich, nourishing quality of an olive tree's root. Paul uses this image of Gentile believers grafted into Israel's heritage: “But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree” (Romans 11:17).
- Richness, value65.7
- In this same occurrence, the noun also names the valuable benefit the grafted-in branches now share by partaking of that root, rather than the root's quality as such: Paul describes the wild-olive branches as having “became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree” (Romans 11:17).
