Strong's Lexicon arketos: Sufficient, enough Original Word: ἀρκετός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀρκέω (arkeō), meaning "to be sufficient" or "to be enough." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀρκετός, the concept of sufficiency is often expressed in the Hebrew Bible with words like דַּי (day), meaning "enough" or "sufficient," as seen in passages like Exodus 36:7. Usage: The Greek adjective ἀρκετός (arketos) is used to convey the idea of sufficiency or adequacy. It implies that something is enough to meet a need or requirement. In the New Testament, it often refers to the sufficiency of God's provision or the adequacy of a certain measure or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of sufficiency was significant in philosophical and ethical discussions. The idea of being content with what one has was a virtue, often associated with self-control and wisdom. In the Jewish context, sufficiency was also linked to reliance on God's provision, as seen in the Old Testament narratives of God's care for Israel.
