It is often associated with charitable actions and the moral obligation to assist those in need.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, beneficence was a highly valued virtue. Acts of kindness and generosity were seen as a reflection of one's character and social status. Public benefactors, known as "euergetai," were often celebrated for their contributions to society, such as funding public works or providing for the poor. This cultural backdrop highlights the importance of "euergesia" as a moral and social duty in the early Christian context.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2110.htm">euergetés</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a good deed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>benefit (1), benefit done (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 2108: εὐεργεσία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐεργεσία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὐεργεσίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">εὐεργέτης</span>); <span class="accented">a good deed, benefit</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/6-2.htm">1 Timothy 6:2</a> (on which see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀντιλαμβάνω</span></span>, 2); with the genitive of the person on whom the benefit is conferred (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 185 (174)), <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-9.htm">Acts 4:9</a>.
