Strong's Lexicon eupoiia: Good deed, beneficence, well-doing Original Word: εὐποιΐα Word Origin: From the Greek words εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and ποιέω (poieo, meaning "to do" or "to make"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "eupoiia," the concept of doing good is reflected in several Hebrew words, such as טוֹב (tov, meaning "good") and גְּמִילוּת חֲסָדִים (gemilut chasadim, meaning "acts of loving-kindness"). Usage: The term "eupoiia" refers to the act of doing good or performing acts of kindness and charity. It encompasses the idea of benevolence and the practice of good works, often in the context of helping others and contributing positively to the community. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, acts of beneficence were highly valued and often associated with social status and honor. Philanthropy and public service were seen as virtues, and those who engaged in such acts were often esteemed in society. In the early Christian context, "eupoiia" took on a deeper spiritual significance, reflecting the teachings of Jesus and the apostles on love, charity, and selfless service to others.
