It conveys a sense of willingness and eagerness to give, reflecting a heart that is open and benevolent. This word is often associated with the Christian virtue of generosity, which is seen as a reflection of God's own generosity towards humanity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, generosity was a valued trait, often associated with honor and social status. However, the Christian understanding of generosity, as reflected in the New Testament, goes beyond social expectations. It is rooted in the love and grace of God, who gives abundantly to His people. Early Christians were encouraged to be generous as a reflection of their faith and as a means of supporting the community, especially those in need.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2130</b> <i>eumetádotos</i> (from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">2095</a> <i>/eú</i>, "well, good" and <a href="/greek/3330.htm">3330</a> <i>/metadídōmi</i>, "give over, impart") – properly, give from a liberal (<i>generous</i>) attitude that is <i>ready to share</i> (reach out). </p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/2130.htm">2130</a> <i>/eumetádotos</i> ("giving over what is good") refers to <i>spontaneous</i>, <i>willing giving</i> and emphasizes being ready for <i>outreach</i>. <a href="/greek/2130.htm">2130</a> (<i>eumetádotos</i>) describes someone who "open-handedly" (willingly) shares, i.e. stands "ready to impart" (Souter).</p><p class="discovery">[The prefix (<i>eu</i>) "emphasizes the nuance either of liberality, or the ease, promptitude, and joy with which one makes one's wealth useful to <i>others</i> (cf.
