It may actually represent an affectionate greeting, but it is more likely to occur simply as a greeting formula.'}

DefinitionShort: (derivative of a base meaning literally ‘to be strong,’ ‘to be well,’ but used in the NT only as a formula for the ending of letters) to be well and to fare well{N:001}
Glosses: to fare well
Comments: The occurrence of ῥώννυμαι as an epistolary formula may be understood in two different senses: either as a sincere expression of the wish that the person involved may fare well or merely as a device to indicate that the letter is complete. This second sense of ῥώννυμαι is treated in {D:33.24}.

DefinitionShort: to end a letter by means of the expression ἔρρωσθε (ἐρρώσσω in some manuscripts), always having a favorable connotation
Glosses: goodbye
Comments: Since in {S:04401502900030} ἔρρωσθε ends a letter, it may be necessary in some languages to employ a typical letter-ending formula which will at the same time be favorable, for example, ‘with best wishes’ or ‘with sincere greetings.’ It would be quite wrong to use literally an expression such as ‘goodbye’ if this would be employed only or principally in direct address rather than at the end of a letter. For another interpretation of ἔρρωσθε in {S:04401502900030}, see {D:23.133}.
