Strong's Lexicon euphoreó: To bear well, to bring forth abundantly, to be fruitful. Original Word: εὐφορέω Word Origin: From the Greek words εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and φέρω (phero, meaning "to bear" or "to carry"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of fruitfulness is פָּרָה (parah, Strong's H6509), which means "to bear fruit" or "to be fruitful." Usage: The verb εὐφορέω (euphoreó) conveys the idea of bearing fruit or producing abundantly. It is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual fruitfulness or the positive outcomes of a righteous life. In the New Testament, it emphasizes the results of living in accordance with God's will, leading to a life that is productive in good works and spiritual growth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, fruitfulness was a common metaphor for prosperity and blessing. The concept of bearing fruit was deeply embedded in Jewish thought, symbolizing God's favor and the fulfillment of His promises. In the Greco-Roman world, the idea of fruitfulness also carried connotations of success and abundance, both in agriculture and in personal endeavors.
