Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀλυπότερος, the concept of reduced sorrow or grief can be related to Hebrew words like שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's H7965), which denotes peace and completeness, or נָחַם (nacham, Strong's H5162), meaning to comfort or console.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, emotional states were often discussed in terms of balance and moderation. The concept of being "less sorrowful" would resonate with philosophical ideals of achieving a state of tranquility and emotional stability. In the context of early Christianity, this term would be relevant in discussions about the peace and comfort found in faith, even amidst trials and tribulations.
