It conveys the idea of being well-formed in terms of character and social standing, often implying respectability and honor. In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who are held in high regard within their community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, social status and public reputation were highly valued. Being considered "euschémón" meant that a person was not only of good moral character but also held a respected position in society. This term would have been understood by early Christians as denoting someone who was both ethically upright and socially esteemed.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2158</b> <i>eus<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>mōn</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">2095</a> <i>/eú</i>, "well, good" and 4976<i>/s<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ēma</i>, "outward form, figure") – properly, of good form, well-fashioned and hence "seemly" (desirable). </p><p class="discovery">2158<i>/eus<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>mōn</i> ("comely") focuses on the outward<i> manifestation</i> of godliness, i.e. as being <i>winsome</i> (encouraging) to others which attracts attention in a positive way.</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/2158.htm">2158</a> (<i>eusxḗmōn</i>) is used in Koine Greek of a person who <i>properly uses influence</i>, especially by serving in a high (respected) position.]</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/4976.htm">schéma</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>comely<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>appropriate (1), presentable (1), prominence (1), prominent (2).<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 2158: εὐσχήμων</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐσχήμων</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὔσχημον</span> (<span class="greek2">εὖ</span>, and <span class="greek2">σχῆμα</span> the figure, Latin<span class="latin">habitus</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">of elegant figure, shapely, graceful, comely, bearing oneself becomingly in speech or behavior</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristophanes</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>): <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">εὐσχήμονα</span> <span class="greek2">ἡμῶν</span>, the comely parts of the body that need no covering (opposed to <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἀσχήμονα</span> <span class="greek2">ἡμῶν</span>, verse 23), <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12-24.htm">1 Corinthians 12:24</a>; of morals: <span class="greek2">πρός</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">εὔσχημον</span>, to promote decorum, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-35.htm">1 Corinthians 7:35</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> in later usage (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 333), <span class="accented">of good standing, honorable, influential, wealthy, respectable</span> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
