Strong's Lexicon euodoó: To prosper, to succeed, to have a good journey Original Word: εὐοδόω Word Origin: From the combination of εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "road"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of prosperity is צָלַח (tsalach, Strong's H6743), which means to advance, prosper, or succeed. Usage: The verb εὐοδόω primarily conveys the idea of being successful or prosperous in one's endeavors. It can also imply having a favorable journey or path. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of spiritual prosperity and well-being, rather than merely material success. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, prosperity was often associated with divine favor and blessing. The concept of a "good journey" was significant in a time when travel was perilous and uncertain. The use of εὐοδόω in the New Testament reflects a broader understanding of prosperity, encompassing spiritual health and alignment with God's will, rather than just material wealth.
