In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to individuals or things that are valuable for a particular purpose, especially in service to God or others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of usefulness was highly valued, particularly in terms of social and economic contributions. A person or object deemed εὔχρηστος would be considered valuable and worthy of honor. This term reflects the practical mindset of the time, where utility and function were often linked to one's worth and role in society.<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/5543.htm">chréstos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>useful<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>useful (3).<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 2173: εὔχρηστος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὔχρηστος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὔχρηστον</span> (<span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">χράομαι</span>), <span class="accented">easy to make use of, useful</span>: with the dative of person <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/2-21.htm">2 Timothy 2:21</a>; opposed to <span class="greek2">ἄχρηστος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/philemon/1-11.htm">Philemon 1:11</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, for a thing, <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-11.htm">2 Timothy 4:11</a>.
