ἀγαθουργέω denotes the soul considered as the repository of pure thoughts which are brought forth in speech; 🇬🇷 the fidelity due from a servant to his master, Tit. ii. 10 [WH mrg. om.]; on 🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, see 🇬🇷. In a narrower sense, benevolent, kind, generous: Mt. xx. 15; 1 Pet. ii. 18; 🇬🇷, 1 Th. iii. 6 (cf. 2 Macc. vii. 20); beneficent (Xen. Cyr. 3, 3, 4;, Jer. xxxiii. 11; Ps. xxxiv. 9; Cic. nat. deor. 2, 25, 64 “optimus i. e. beneficentissimus”), Ro. v. 7, where the meaning is, Hardly for an innocent man does one encounter death; for if he even dares hazard his life for another, he does so for a benefactor (one from whom he has received favors); cf. W. 117 (111); [Gifford in the Speaker’s Com. p. 123]. The neuter used substantively denotes 1. a good thing, convenience, advantage, and in partic. a. in the plur., external goods, riches: Lk. i. 53; xii. 18 sq. (Sir. xiv. 4; Sap. vii. 11); 🇬🇷 comforts and delights which thy wealth procured for thee in abundance, Lk. xvi. 25 (opp. to 🇬🇷, as in Sir. xi. 14); outward and inward good things, Gal. vi. 6, cf. Wieseler ad loc. b. the benefits of the Messianic kingdom: Ro. x. 15; 🇬🇷 Heb. ix. 11; x. 1. 2. what is upright, honorable, and acceptable to God: Ro. xii. 2; 🇬🇷 Ro. ii. 10; Eph. iv. 28; 🇬🇷, Ro. ix. 11; [2 Co. v. 10]; 🇬🇷, 1 Th. v. 15; 🇬🇷, 3 Jn. 11; 🇬🇷 Ro. xii. 9; 🇬🇷, Mt. xix. 17 G L Τ Tr WH, where the word expresses the general idea of right. Spec., what is salutary, suited to the course of human affairs: in the phrase 🇬🇷 Ro. xiii. 4.; of rendering service, Gal. vi. 10; Ro. xii. 21; 🇬🇷 the favor thou conferrest, Philem. 14.

[“It is to be regarded as a peculiarity in the usage of the Sept. that good is predominantly [?] rendered by 🇬🇷. ... The translator of Gen. uses 🇬🇷 only in the neut., good, goods, and this has been to a degree the model for the other translators. . . . In the Greek O. T., where 🇬🇷 is the technical designation of the pious, 🇬🇷 or 🇬🇷 does not occur in so general a sense. The 🇬🇷 is peculiar only to the Prov. (xiii. 22, 24; xv. 3); cf. besides the solitary instance in 1 Kings ii. 32. Thus even in the usage of the O. T. we are reminded of Christ’s words, Mk. x. 18, 🇬🇷. In the O. T. the term ‘righteous’ makes reference rather to a covenant and to one’s relation to a positive standard; 🇬🇷 would express the absolute idea of moral goodness” (Zezschwitz, Profangraec. u. bibl. Sprachgeist, Leipz. 1859, p. 60). Cf. Tittm. p. 19. On the comparison of 🇬🇷 see B. 27 (24).]

This divine promise was fulfilled to him at length in paradise; cf. W. 339 (318); B. 239 (206). On this word see Gelpke in the Stud. u. Krit. for 1849, p. 645 sq.*
