It often conveys a sense of recognizing the divine favor or happiness bestowed upon an individual. In the New Testament, it is used to highlight the blessed state of those who experience God's favor or fulfill His will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "blessed" was often associated with prosperity, happiness, and divine favor. The Greek term μακάριος, from which μακαρίζω is derived, was used in both secular and religious contexts to describe a state of well-being and contentment. In the Jewish tradition, being blessed was closely linked to living in accordance with God's commandments and receiving His blessings as a result.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3106</b> <i>makarízō</i> – pronounce <i>blessed</i>, as the result of enjoying the benefits (privileges) that (literally) <i>extend</i> from God. <a href="/greek/3107.htm">See 3107</a> (<i>makarios</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[Note the literal meaning of this term ("long, 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/3107.htm">makarios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bless<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>count...blessed (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 3106: μακαρίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μακαρίζω</span></span>;
