Context: The Greek verb εὐπορέω appears in the New Testament to describe a state of prosperity or sufficiency. It is used to convey the idea of having more than enough to meet one's needs, often in a material or financial sense. This term reflects a condition of well-being and abundance, suggesting that the individual or group is not lacking in necessary resources.

In the Berean Standard Bible, εὐπορέω is used in Acts 11:29: "So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea." Here, the term is associated with the ability to provide for others, indicating that the disciples had sufficient means to offer assistance. This usage underscores the early Christian community's commitment to mutual support and generosity, reflecting a broader biblical principle of stewardship and care for one another.

The concept of prosperity in the biblical context is often linked with spiritual well-being and the responsible use of resources. While material abundance is acknowledged, the emphasis is on using one's prosperity to serve others and fulfill God's purposes. This aligns with the biblical teaching that true prosperity encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, encouraging believers to seek a balanced and generous life.
