Strong's Lexicon euporia: Prosperity, wealth, abundance Original Word: εὐπορία Word Origin: From the Greek prefix εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and πορεία (poreia, meaning "journey" or "way"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "euporia," similar concepts can be found in words like עֹשֶׁר (osher, Strong's Hebrew 6239), meaning "riches" or "wealth," and שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's Hebrew 7965), which can imply peace and prosperity. Usage: The term "euporia" in the Greek context generally refers to a state of prosperity or abundance, often in terms of material wealth or resources. It conveys the idea of having more than enough, a surplus that allows for comfort and security. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the economic prosperity that can sometimes lead individuals away from reliance on God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, prosperity was often seen as a sign of divine favor. Wealth was associated with power, influence, and social status. However, the early Christian community, influenced by Jewish teachings, often viewed wealth with caution, emphasizing spiritual riches over material ones. The New Testament frequently warns against the dangers of wealth, encouraging believers to seek treasures in heaven rather than on earth.
