Strong's Lexicon eukairos: Timely, opportune, seasonable Original Word: εὔκαιρος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: eukairos Pronunciation: yoo'-kahee-ros Phonetic Spelling: (yoo'-kahee-ros) Definition: opportune, timely, suitable; perhaps sometimes: holiday, festival. Meaning: The term εὔκαιρος refers to something that is timely, opportune, or occurring at a favorable or suitable time. Word Origin: From εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and καιρός (kairos, meaning "time" or "season"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εὔκαιρος, the concept of timely or opportune moments can be related to Hebrew words such as עֵת (eth, Strong's 6256), meaning "time" or "season," which conveys a similar sense of appointed or suitable times within the biblical narrative. Usage: The word εὔκαιρος is used in the New Testament to describe actions or events that occur at an appropriate or advantageous time. It emphasizes the suitability or rightness of the timing. Context: The Greek word εὔκαιρος appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of timeliness and appropriateness. It is often used to describe moments that are particularly suitable for certain actions or decisions. This concept is rooted in the understanding that certain times are more favorable than others for achieving desired outcomes. In the Berean Standard Bible, εὔκαιρος is used in contexts that highlight the importance of discerning the right moment for action. For example, in 2 Timothy 4:2, Paul exhorts Timothy to "preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season," where "in season" translates εὔκαιρος, indicating the necessity of readiness to act when the time is right. The concept of εὔκαιρος aligns with the biblical theme of divine timing, where God's purposes unfold according to His perfect schedule. Believers are encouraged to seek wisdom and discernment to recognize and act upon these opportune moments, trusting in God's sovereignty over time.
