godliness
This term describes a state of spiritual purity or adherence to divine law, often carrying a connotation of humility and moral discipline. It is frequently used in religious or hagiographic contexts to describe a person's internal devotion rather than their outward ritualistic performance.
As an abstract quality, the word is uncountable. It does not have a plural form and cannot be quantified with numbers; instead, it is measured by adjectives of degree, such as great or profound, or referred to via partitive constructions if specific instances of the quality are being discussed.
