It is a comparative adjective, indicating a relative ease in contrast to a more difficult task or situation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of ease versus difficulty was often discussed in philosophical and practical contexts. The idea of something being "easier" would resonate with audiences familiar with the challenges of daily life, labor, and moral decision-making. The use of εὐκοπώτερος in the New Testament reflects a common rhetorical device to emphasize the relative simplicity or manageability of one action over another.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>cptv. of eukopos (easy); from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">eu</a> and <a href="/greek/2873.htm">kopos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>with easier labor<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>easier (7).<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 2123: εὔκοπος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὔκοπος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὔκοπον</span> (<span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">κόπος</span>), that can be done <span class="accented">with easy labor; easy</span>: <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, et al.; Sir. 22:15; 1 Macc. 3:18; in the N.
