It conveys a sense of being well-toned or having a robust quality. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the strength or firmness of character, faith, or resolve.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, physical strength and vigor were highly valued, often associated with athletic prowess and moral fortitude. The concept of "eutonós" would have resonated with audiences familiar with Greek athletic competitions, where physical and mental strength were celebrated. In a spiritual context, this term would have been understood as a metaphor for spiritual resilience and steadfastness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2159</b> <i>eutónōs</i> (from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">2095</a> <i>/eú</i>, "well" and <i>teinō</i>, "stretch") – properly, well-stretched; pressed to the limit, fully-extended. </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/2095.htm">eu</a> and teinó (to stretch)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>in a well-strung manner, fig. vigorously<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>powerfully (1), vehemently (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 2159: εὐτόνως</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐτόνως</span></span>, adverb (from <span class="greek2">εὔτονος</span>, and this from <span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">τείνω</span> to stretch (cf. <span class="accented">at full stretch, well strung,</span> etc.)), <span class="accented">vehemently, forcibly</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/23-10.htm">Luke 23:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/18-28.htm">Acts 18:28</a>.
