τιμι-ότης G5094
costliness, magnificence, luxury; the quality of being precious or expensive
This noun refers to costliness or magnificent luxury. In Revelation 18:19, it appears in the lament over Babylon's fall: 'all who had ships on the sea grew rich by her wealth/costliness.' The term emphasizes the precious, expensive quality of goods and the luxury they represented. Classical usage included dignity and honor as well as material costliness. Spanish 'opulencia' (opulence) and German 'Kostbarkeit' (preciousness) both capture the luxury and value dimension. This is wealth manifested in precious commodities.

1. sense 1 — Found in Rev 18:19 describing the source of maritime wealth: 'all who had ships grew rich by her costliness/wealth.' The noun emphasizes the precious, expensive nature of Babylon's trade goods. The lament mourns lost luxury and profit. Classical background of both material costliness and social dignity enriches the economic critique. Cross-linguistic evidence ('costliness,' 'opulencia,' 'Kostbarkeit') confirms the emphasis on expensive magnificence. 1×
