It can also imply having a favorable journey or path. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of spiritual prosperity and well-being, rather than merely material success.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, prosperity was often associated with divine favor and blessing. The concept of a "good journey" was significant in a time when travel was perilous and uncertain. The use of εὐοδόω in the New Testament reflects a broader understanding of prosperity, encompassing spiritual health and alignment with God's will, rather than just material wealth.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2137</b> <i>euodóō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">2095</a> <i>/eú</i>, "well, good" and <a href="/greek/3598.htm">3598</a> <i>/hodós</i>, "a journey on a particular road") – properly, to go on a prosperous journey; (figuratively) to be <i>on the right </i>(<i>profitable</i>) <i>path</i>, i.e. leading to real success (good fortune) where someone truly "<i>prospers, is prospered</i>" (<i>A-S</i>).</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 <a href="/greek/3598.htm">hodos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to have a prosperous journey<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>prosper (2), prospers (1), succeed (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 2137: εὐοδόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐοδόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐυοδω</span>: (passive, present <span class="greek2">ἐυοδοῦμαι</span>; future <span class="greek2">εὐοδωθήσομαι</span>; 1 aorist subjunctive <span class="greek2">εὐοδώθη</span>, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/16-2.htm">1 Corinthians 16:2</a> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading who regard the <span class="greek2">εὐοδῶται</span> of the text here as perfect (either indicative or subjunctive) see their Appendix, p. 172); (<span class="greek2">εὔοδος</span>); the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> principally for <span class="hebrew">צָלַח</span> and <span class="hebrew">הִצְלִיחַ</span>; <span class="accented">to grant a prosperous and expeditious journey, to lead by a direct and easy way</span>: <a href="/interlinear/genesis/24-48.htm">Genesis 24:48</a>: much more frequent tropically, <span class="accented">to grant a successful issue, to cause to prosper</span>: <span class="greek2">τί</span>, as <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">ὁδόν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/24-21.htm">Genesis 24:21, 40</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>, etc.; <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἔργα</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, Wis. 11:1; in the passive always tropical, <span class="accented">to prosper, be successful</span>: of persons, <a href="/interlinear/joshua/1-8.htm">Joshua 1:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/28-13.htm">Proverbs 28:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/13-12.htm">2 Chronicles 13:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/18-11.htm">2 Chronicles 18:11</a>, etc.; <a href="/interlinear/3_john/1-2.htm">3 John 1:2</a>; <span class="greek2">εἴπως</span> <span class="greek2">εὐοδωθήσομαι</span> <span class="greek2">ἐλθεῖν</span> <span class="accented">if haply I shall be so fortunate as to come,</span> <a href="/interlinear/romans/1-10.htm">Romans 1:10</a>; of things: 2 Esdr. 5:8; Tobit 4:19; 1 Macc. 3:6, etc.; <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">Κλεομενει</span> <span class="greek2">εὐωδώθη</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">πρῆγμα</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 6, 73; <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="greek2">τί</span> <span class="greek2">ἄν</span> <span class="greek2">εὐοδῶται</span> (see above, at the beginning) whatever (business) has prospered, i. e.
