It implies that something is enough to meet a need or requirement. In the New Testament, it often refers to the sufficiency of God's provision or the adequacy of a certain measure or action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of sufficiency was significant in philosophical and ethical discussions. The idea of being content with what one has was a virtue, often associated with self-control and wisdom. In the Jewish context, sufficiency was also linked to reliance on God's provision, as seen in the Old Testament narratives of God's care for Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/714.htm">arkeó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sufficient<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>enough (2), sufficient (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 713: ἀρκετός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀρκετός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀρκετη</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀρκετόν</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀρκέω</span>), <span class="accented">sufficient</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/6-34.htm">Matthew 6:34</a> (where the meaning is, 'Let the present day's trouble suffice for a man, and let him not rashly increase it by anticipating the cares of days to come'; (on the neuter cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 58, 5; <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 127 (111))); <span class="greek2">ἀρκετόν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">μαθητῇ</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
