Associated OET lemmas: ἀγαθωσύνη

Notes: In a number of languages there is no abstract term such as ‘goodness.’ Since goodness implies some type of activity involving others, one must frequently use a verb expression, for example, ‘to be good to’ or ‘to benefit.’ The qualification ‘full of’ in OET ROM 15:14 must likewise be restructured in a number of languages so as to indicate the fact that one always engages in doing good, for example, ‘that you are always doing good to people.’
