Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἁδρότης, similar concepts of abundance and richness can be found in Hebrew words such as:

- H7230 רֹב (rov): Meaning "multitude" or "abundance," often used to describe the plentifulness of God's blessings or the abundance of His creation.
- H4393 מְלֹא (melo): Meaning "fullness" or "that which fills," used to convey the idea of completeness or abundance in various contexts.

These Hebrew terms, like ἁδρότης, emphasize the fullness and richness of God's provision and the abundant life He offers to His people.

Usage: The term ἁδρότης is used in the New Testament to describe the concept of abundance, particularly in relation to God's provision and blessings. It emphasizes the richness and fullness of what is provided.

Context: ἁδρότης appears in the New Testament to highlight the abundant nature of God's blessings and provision. This term is often associated with the generosity and richness of God's grace, as well as the material and spiritual abundance that believers can experience through faith. In the context of the New Testament, ἁδρότης underscores the idea that God's gifts are not given sparingly but are lavish and overflowing.

For example, in 2 Corinthians 8:2, the concept of abundance is illustrated through the generosity of the Macedonian churches, who, despite their own trials and poverty, exhibited a wealth of generosity. This reflects the principle that true abundance is not merely a matter of material wealth but is deeply connected to the richness of spirit and the grace of God working within believers.

The use of ἁδρότης in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the bountiful nature of God's kingdom, where spiritual richness surpasses earthly wealth. It encourages believers to trust in God's provision and to live generously, reflecting the abundant grace they have received.
