It encompasses the idea of benevolence and the practice of good works, often in the context of helping others and contributing positively to the community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, acts of beneficence were highly valued and often associated with social status and honor. Philanthropy and public service were seen as virtues, and those who engaged in such acts were often esteemed in society. In the early Christian context, "eupoiia" took on a deeper spiritual significance, reflecting the teachings of Jesus and the apostles on love, charity, and selfless service to others.<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/4160.htm">poieó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>doing good<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>doing good (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 2140: εὐποιΐα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐποιΐα</span></span> (<span class="greek2">εὐποιΐα</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (cf.
