Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the combination of εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "journey").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H6743 (צָלַח, tsalach): To advance, prosper, or make progress. This Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the success or prosperity granted by God, similar to the New Testament usage of εὐοδόω.
• H7951 (שָׁלַו, shalav): To be at ease, prosper. This term conveys a sense of tranquility and prosperity, often associated with divine favor and blessing.

These Hebrew terms reflect the Old Testament foundation for the New Testament concept of prosperity as expressed by εὐοδόω, emphasizing the continuity of the biblical theme of success as a result of divine guidance and blessing.

Usage: The verb εὐοδόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of prospering or succeeding, often in the context of spiritual or material well-being. It appears in contexts where the success or prosperity is attributed to divine favor or guidance.

Context: The Greek verb εὐοδόω is used in the New Testament to express the concept of prosperity or success, often with an implication of divine blessing. It appears in several key passages, each highlighting different aspects of prosperity:

• Romans 1:10 (BSB): "in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you." Here, Paul uses εὐοδόω to express his desire for a successful journey to visit the believers in Rome, indicating a reliance on God's will for the success of his plans.

• 1 Corinthians 16:2 (BSB): "On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come, no collections will be needed." While εὐοδόω is not directly used in this verse, the context of planning and setting aside resources reflects the broader biblical principle of stewardship and prosperity.

• 3 John 1:2 (BSB): "Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." This verse explicitly uses εὐοδόω to convey a holistic view of prosperity, encompassing physical health and spiritual well-being. The apostle John expresses a desire for the recipient's overall success, aligning physical prosperity with spiritual growth.

The use of εὐοδόω in these contexts underscores a biblical understanding of prosperity that is not merely material but is integrally connected to spiritual health and alignment with God's purposes. The term suggests that true success is found in the harmony of one's life with divine will, resulting in both spiritual and material blessings.
