It is often used in the context of God blessing individuals, individuals blessing God, or the act of giving thanks for food. Context: The Greek verb εὐλογέω appears frequently in the New Testament, reflecting a range of meanings centered around the concept of blessing. In its most basic sense, εὐλογέω involves speaking well of someone or something, often invoking divine favor or expressing gratitude. In the context of God blessing individuals, εὐλογέω signifies the bestowal of divine favor and benefits. For example, in Ephesians 1:3, Paul writes, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms." Here, the term underscores the spiritual blessings believers receive through their relationship with Christ. When individuals bless God, εὐλογέω conveys an act of worship and praise. In Luke 1:68, Zechariah exclaims, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people." This usage highlights the acknowledgment of God's mighty acts and His faithfulness. The term is also used in the context of giving thanks, particularly in relation to meals. In Matthew 26:26, during the Last Supper, "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is My body.'" Here, εὐλογέω is associated with the act of giving thanks to God for provision. Overall, εὐλογέω encapsulates the themes of divine favor, human gratitude, and the reciprocal relationship between God and His people, where blessings are both received and returned in the form of praise and thanksgiving.
