Strong's Lexicon euarestos: Pleasing, acceptable Original Word: εὐάρεστος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "eu-" meaning "well" or "good" and "arestos" meaning "pleasing" or "acceptable." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of being pleasing or acceptable is רָצוֹן (ratson), Strong's Hebrew 7522, which conveys the idea of favor or delight. Usage: The term "euarestos" is used in the New Testament to describe something that is pleasing or acceptable, particularly in the sight of God. It often conveys the idea of actions, attitudes, or offerings that align with God's will and are thus approved by Him. This word emphasizes the importance of living a life that is in harmony with divine standards and is often associated with moral and spiritual conduct. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being pleasing or acceptable was significant in both religious and social contexts. Offerings and sacrifices were made to deities with the hope of gaining favor, and social interactions were often governed by the desire to be pleasing to others. In the Jewish tradition, being pleasing to God was central to the covenant relationship, with the Law providing guidelines for living a life that was acceptable to Him.
