It conveys the idea of something that is worthy of love or admiration, often in a moral or ethical sense. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to encourage believers to focus on things that are virtuous and commendable.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, virtues and moral excellence were highly valued, and philosophical discussions often centered around what constituted a good and admirable life. The use of "prosphilés" in the New Testament reflects this cultural backdrop, urging believers to align their thoughts and actions with what is considered morally excellent and praiseworthy.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4375</b> <i>prosphilḗs</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">4314</a> <i>/prós</i>, "extending toward" and <a href="/greek/5368.htm">5368</a> <i>/philéō</i>, "affectionate caring") – properly, worthy of personal affection; hence, dearly prized, i.e. worth the effort to have and embrace (used only in Phil 4:8).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">pros</a> and <a href="/greek/5368.htm">phileó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>pleasing, agreeable<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lovely (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4375: προσφιλής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προσφιλής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">προσφιλές</span> (<span class="greek2">πρός</span> and <span class="greek2">φιλέω</span>), <span class="accented">acceptable, pleasing</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
