These Hebrew terms convey similar ideas of goodness and correctness in actions and character. Usage: The term εὖ is used in the New Testament to convey the sense of doing something well or correctly. It often appears in contexts where actions, speech, or conditions are evaluated positively. Context: The Greek adverb εὖ is a versatile term found in various New Testament passages, emphasizing the quality or correctness of an action or state. It is often used in moral or ethical contexts, highlighting the commendable nature of an action or decision. For instance, in Matthew 25:21, the master commends his servant, saying, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Here, εὖ underscores the servant's commendable performance and faithfulness.
