In the New Testament, it often refers to individuals who demonstrate a commendable character or disposition, particularly in their openness to the gospel and readiness to receive the Word of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, nobility was often associated with social status, wealth, and education. However, the New Testament usage of "eugenes" transcends mere social standing, emphasizing moral and spiritual nobility. This reflects a Christian redefinition of what it means to be "noble," focusing on one's character and receptivity to divine truth rather than birthright or social class.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2104: εὐγενής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐγενής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐυγενες</span> (from <span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">γένος</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">well-born, of noble race</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/19-12.htm">Luke 19:12</a> (of a prince); <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/1-26.htm">1 Corinthians 1:26</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">noble-minded</span>: comparitive <span class="greek2">ἐυγενεστερος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-11.htm">Acts 17:11</a>.
