Strong's Lexicon makarios: Blessed, happy, fortunate Original Word: μακάριος HELPS Word-studies 3107 makários (from mak-, "become long, large") – properly, when God extends His benefits (the advantages He confers); blessed. 3107 /makários ("blessed") describes a believer in enviable ("fortunate") position from receiving God's provisions (favor) – which (literally) extend ("make long, large") His grace (benefits). This happens with receiving (obeying) the Lord's inbirthings of faith. Hence, faith (4102 /pístis) and 3107 (makários) are closely associated (Ro 4:5-7,14:22,23; Rev 14:12,13). NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom makar (happy) Definition blessed, happy NASB Translation blessed (1), blessed (46), fortunate (1), happier (1), happy (1).
