ἀγαθός

Strong’s: G18

Associated OET lemmas: ἀγαθός

Notes: ἀγαθός in OET MAT 20:15 may also be understood as meaning good (see 88.1: ἀγαθός / 88.1: ἀγαθωσύνη).

Form 1

Part of speech: adjc.

Inflections: ἀγαθός; -ή, -όν

Related lemmas: ἀγαθοεργέω · ἀγαθοποιέω · ἀγαθοποιΐα · ἀγαθοποιός · ἀγαθουργέω · ἀγαθωσύνη · ἀφιλάγαθος · φιλάγαθος

Sense 1: good, goodness, good act

Semantic entry: 88.1

Semantic domains: Moral and Ethical Qualities and Related Behavior

Subdomains: Goodness

Definition: positive moral qualities of the most general nature

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.’
