Strong's Lexicon plousiós: Rich, wealthy Original Word: πλούσιος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word πλοῦτος (ploutos), meaning "wealth" or "riches." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - עָשִׁיר (ashir) - Strong's Hebrew 6223, meaning "rich" or "wealthy." - חֵלֶב (cheleb) - Strong's Hebrew 2459, often translated as "fat" or "rich," used metaphorically for abundance. Usage: The term "plousiós" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who possess material wealth or abundance. It can refer to both literal wealth, such as money and possessions, and metaphorical wealth, such as spiritual richness or abundance in virtues. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, wealth was often seen as a sign of divine favor and social status. However, the New Testament presents a more nuanced view, emphasizing the spiritual dangers of wealth and the importance of using riches for the benefit of others. The early Christian community was marked by a radical sharing of resources, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles, which contrasted with the prevailing cultural norms.
