It conveys the idea of an event or action that is well-timed and appropriate for the circumstances. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe actions or events that align with God's perfect timing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "kairos" was significant, representing the opportune moment or the right time to act. This was distinct from "chronos," which referred to chronological or sequential time. The prefix "eu" enhances the meaning, suggesting not just any opportune time, but a particularly favorable or advantageous one. In the biblical context, "eukairos" underscores the importance of discerning and acting within God's timing, which is often seen as perfect and sovereign.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">eu</a> and <a href="/greek/2540.htm">kairos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>timely<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>strategic (1), time of need (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 2121: εὔκαιρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὔκαιρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὔκαιρον</span> (<span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">καιρός</span>), <span class="accented">seasonable, timely, opportune</span>: <span class="greek2">βοήθεια</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-16.htm">Hebrews 4:16</a>; <span class="greek2">ἡμέρας</span> <span class="greek2">εὐκαίρου</span>, a convenient day, <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-21.htm">Mark 6:21</a>.
