Strong's Lexicon eulogétos: Blessed, Praised Original Word: εὐλογητός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb εὐλογέω (eulogeō), meaning "to bless" or "to speak well of." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is בָּרוּךְ (baruch), which also means "blessed" or "praised." Usage: The term "eulogétos" is used in the New Testament to describe someone who is worthy of praise or blessing. It is often applied to God, highlighting His divine nature and the reverence He is due. The word conveys a sense of honor and adoration, acknowledging the goodness and majesty of the one being blessed. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, blessings were an important part of religious and social life. The act of blessing was seen as a way to invoke favor and express gratitude. In Jewish tradition, blessings were integral to worship and daily life, often used to acknowledge God's sovereignty and provision. The use of "eulogétos" in the New Testament reflects this cultural context, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and honoring God's supreme authority and benevolence.

Indeed, only God is inherently praiseworthy, deserving every "good acknowledgment"!
