It suggests a state of inner well-being and confidence, rooted in faith and trust in God. This term is used to exhort believers to maintain a hopeful and courageous attitude, especially during trials.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, courage and a positive spirit were highly valued traits, often associated with philosophical ideals of stoicism and virtue. For early Christians, this concept was deeply intertwined with faith in God's providence and the hope of eternal life. The ability to remain cheerful and courageous was seen as a testimony to one's faith and trust in God's promises.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2174</b> <i>eupsy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>éō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">2095</a> <i>/eú</i>, "well, good" and 5590<i>/psy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ē</i>, "soul") – properly, of <i>good</i> spirit ("<i>soul</i>"); used of God <i>bolstering</i> the soul which results in sound psychological and spiritual health.</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 comp. of <a href="/greek/2095.htm">eu</a> and <a href="/greek/5590.htm">psuché</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be of good courage<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>encouraged (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 2174: εὐψυχέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐψυχέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὐψυχῶ</span>; (<span class="greek2">εὔψυχος</span>); <span class="accented">to be of good courage, to be of a cheerful spirit</span>: <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-19.htm">Philippians 2:19</a>.
