(Xenophon, Plato, others; in different senses in different authors.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek words 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 εὐπορία, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to prosperity and wealth, such as עֹשֶׁר (osher, Strong's Hebrew 6239), meaning "riches" or "wealth," and שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's Hebrew 7965), which can imply peace and well-being, often associated with prosperity. These terms reflect the broader biblical narrative that contrasts material wealth with spiritual well-being and the pursuit of righteousness. Usage: The word εὐπορία is used in the New Testament to describe a condition of material wealth or abundance. It is often associated with the idea of having sufficient resources or being in a state of financial prosperity. Context: The Greek term εὐπορία appears in the New Testament in contexts that highlight the contrast between material wealth and spiritual values. In Acts 19:25, the term is used to describe the economic prosperity of the craftsmen in Ephesus who were making silver shrines of Artemis. The passage illustrates how their financial well-being was threatened by the spread of the Gospel, which challenged the idolatrous practices that supported their trade. This usage underscores a recurring biblical theme: the tension between earthly riches and spiritual truth. The Bible often warns against the dangers of prioritizing material wealth over spiritual devotion, as seen in Jesus' teachings about the difficulty for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:23-24). The use of εὐπορία in Acts serves as a reminder of the transient nature of earthly prosperity and the enduring value of spiritual riches.
