It often conveys the idea of actions, attitudes, or offerings that align with God's will and are thus approved by Him. This word emphasizes the importance of living a life that is in harmony with divine standards and is often associated with moral and spiritual conduct.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being pleasing or acceptable was significant in both religious and social contexts. Offerings and sacrifices were made to deities with the hope of gaining favor, and social interactions were often governed by the desire to be pleasing to others. In the Jewish tradition, being pleasing to God was central to the covenant relationship, with the Law providing guidelines for living a life that was acceptable to Him.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2101</b> <i>euárestos</i> (from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">2095</a> <i>/eú</i>, "well, good" and <a href="/greek/700.htm">700</a> <i>/aréskō</i>, "to please") – properly, well-pleasing (gratifying) <i>because fully acceptable</i>.</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/2095.htm">eu</a> and arestos (acceptable, pleasing); from <a href="/greek/700.htm">areskó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>well-pleasing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>acceptable (3), pleasing (3), well-pleasing (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 2101: εὐάρεστος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐάρεστος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὐάρεστον</span> (from <span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">ἀρεστός</span>), <span class="accented">well-pleasing, acceptable</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>; <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, to one, <a href="/interlinear/romans/12-1.htm">Romans 12:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/romans/14-18.htm">Romans 14:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/5-9.htm">2 Corinthians 5:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/5-10.htm">Ephesians 5:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/philippians/4-18.htm">Philippians 4:18</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, in anything, <a href="/interlinear/titus/2-9.htm">Titus 2:9</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">κυρίῳ</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span> I. 6 b., p. 211b middle), <a href="/interlinear/colossians/3-20.htm">Colossians 3:20</a> (Rom. <span class="greek2">ἐν</span>); <span class="greek2">ἐνώπιον</span> with the genitive of person, in one's judgment: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/13-21.htm">Hebrews 13:21</a>.
