         DefinitionShort: pertaining to being religious

         Glosses: religious

         Comments: δεισιδαίμων may occur in either a good or a bad sense; that is to say, it may mean either ‘very religious’ or ‘superstitious,’ although the meaning of ‘superstitious’ is primarily a later development in the meaning of this word. In {S:04401702200032} there seems every reason to believe that Paul was using the term in a positive sense.
