ἀγαθός
GOOD - SACRED - KIND ``` Original Word: ἀγαθός, ή, όν Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: agathos Phonetic Spelling: (ag-ath-os') Short Definition: good Definition: intrinsically good, good in nature, good whether it be seen to be so or not, the widest and most colorless of all words with this meaning. ``` agathós – inherently (intrinsically) good; as to the believer, 18 (agathós) describes what originates from God and is empowered by Him in their life, through faith. ἀγαθός, (ή, (akin to ἄγαμαι to wonder at, think highly of, ἀγαστός admirable, as explained by Plato, Crat., p. 412 c. (others besides; cf. Donaldson, New Crat. § 323)), in general denotes"perfectus, ... qui habet in se ac facit omnia quae habere et facere debet pro notione nominis, officio ac lege" (Irmisch ad Herodian, 1, 4, p. 134), excelling in any respect, distinguished, good. It can be predicated of persons, things, conditions, qualities and affections of the soul, deeds, times and seasons. To this general significance can be traced back all those senses which the word gathers from the connection in which it stands; 1. of a good constitution or nature: γῆ, Luke 8:8; δένδρον, Matthew 7:18, in sense equivalent to 'fertile soil,' 'a fruitful tree,' (Xenophon, oec. 16, 7 γῆ ἀγαθή, ... γῆ κακῇ, an. 2, 4, 22 χώρας πολλῆς καί ἀγαθῆς οὔσης). In Luke 8:15 ἀγαθή καρδία corresponds to the figurative expression good ground, and denotes a soul inclined to goodness, and accordingly eager to learn saving truth and ready to bear the fruits (καρπούς ἀγαθούς, James 3:17) of a Christian life. 2. useful, salutary: δόσις ἀγαθή (joined to δώρημα τέλειον) a gift which is truly a gift, salutary, James 1:17; δόματα ἀγαθά, Matthew 7:11; ἐντολή ἀγαθός a commandment profitable to those who keep it, Romans 7:12, according to a Greek scholium equivalent to εἰς τό συμφέρον ἐισηγουμένη, hence, the question in Romans 7:13: τό οὖν ἀγαθόν ἐμοί γέγονε θάνατος; ἀγαθός μερίς the 'good part,' which insures salvation to him who chooses it, Luke 10:42; ἔργον ἀγαθόν (differently in Romans 2:7, etc.) the saving work of God, i. e. substantially, the Christian life, due to divine efficiency, Philippians 1:6 (cf. the commentaries at the passage); εἰς ἀγαθόν for good, to advantage, Romans 8:28 (Sir. 7:13; πάντα τοῖς ἐυσεβέσι εἰς ἀγαθά ... τοῖς ἁμαρτωλοῖς εἰς κακά, Sir. 39:27; τό κακόν ... γίγνεται εἰς ἀγαθόν, Theognis 162); good for, suited to something: πρός οἰκοδομήν, Ephesians 4:29 (cf. Winers Grammar, 363 (340)) (Xenophon, mem. 4, 6, 10). 3. of the feeling awakened by what is good, pleasant, agreeable, joyful, happy: ἡμέραι ἀγαθάς 1 Peter 3:10 (Psalm 33:13 (); Sir. 14:14; 1 Macc. 10:55); ἐλπίς, 2 Thessalonians 2:16 (μακαρία ἐλπίς, Titus 2:13); συνείδησις, a peaceful conscience, equivalent to consciousness of rectitude, Acts 23:1; 1 Timothy 1:5, 19; 1 Peter 3:16; reconciled to God, 1 Peter 3:21. 4. excellent, distinguished: so τί ἀγαθόν, John 1:46 (John 1:47). 5. upright, honorable: Matthew 12:34; Matthew 19:16; Luke 6:45; Acts 11:24; 1 Peter 3:11, etc.; πονηροί καί ἀγαθοί, Matthew 5:45; Matthew 22:10; ἀγαθός καί δίκαιος, Luke 23:50; καρδία ἀγαθή καί καλή, Luke 8:15 (see καλός, b.); fulfilling the duty or service demanded, δοῦλε ἀγαθέ καί πιστέ, Matthew 25:21, 23; upright, free from guile, particularly from a desire to corrupt the people, John 7:12; preeminently of God, as consummately and essentially good, Matthew 19:17 (Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19); ἀγαθός θησαυρός in Matthew 12:35; Luke 6:45 denotes the soul considered as the repository of pure thoughts which are brought forth in speech; πίστις ἀγαθός the fidelity due from a servant to his master, Titus 2:10 (WH marginal reading omits); on ἀγαθόν ἔργον, ἀγαθά ἔργα, see ἔργον. In a narrower sense, benevolent, kind, generous: Matthew 20:15; 1 Peter 2:18; μνεία, 1 Thessalonians 3:6 (cf. 2 Macc. 7:20); beneficent (Xenophon, Cyril 3, 3, 4; טוב, Jeremiah 33:11; Psalm 34:9; Cicero, nat. deor. 2, 25, 64 "optimus i. e.beneficentissimus), Romans 5:7, where the meaning is, Hardly for an innocent man does one encounter death; for if he even dares hazard his life for another, he does so for a benefactor (one from whom he has received favors); cf. Winer's Grammar, 117 (111); (Gifford in the Speaker's Commentary, p. 123). The neuter used substantively denotes: 1. a good thing, convenience, advantage, and in partic. a. in the plural, external goods, riches: Luke 1:53; Luke 12:18f. (Sir. 14:4; Wis. 7:11); τά ἀγαθά σου comforts and delights which thy wealth procured for thee in abundance, Luke 16:25 (opposed to κακά, as in Sir. 11:14); outward and inward good things, Galatians 6:6, cf. Wieseler at the passage. b. the benefits of the Messianic kingdom: Romans 10:15; τά μέλλοντα ἀγαθῶν, Hebrews 9:11; Hebrews 10:1. 2. what is upright, honorable, and acceptable to God: Romans 12:2; ἐργάζεσθαι τό ἀγαθόν Romans 2:10; Ephesians 4:28; πράσσειν, Romans 9:11; (2 Corinthians 5:10); διώκειν, 1 Thessalonians 5:15; μιμεῖσθαι, 3 John 1:11; κολλᾶσθαι τῷ ἀγαθῷ Romans 12:9; τί με ἐρωτᾷς περί τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ, Matthew 19:17 G L T Tr WH, where the word expresses the general idea of right. Specifically, what is salutary, suited to the course of human affairs: in the phrase διάκονος εἰς τό ἀγαθόν Romans 13:4; of rendering service, Galatians 6:10; Romans 12:21; τό ἀγαθόν σου the favor thou conferrest, Philemon 1:14. ("It is to be regarded as a peculiarity in the usage of the Sept. that טוב good is predominantly (?) rendered by καλός.... The translator of Genesis uses ἀγαθός only in the neuter, good, goods, and this has been to a degree the model for the other translators. ... In the Greek O. T., where οἱ δίκαιοι is the technical designation of the pious, οἱ ἀγαθοί or ὁ ἀγαθός does not occur in so general a sense. The ἀνήρ ἀγαθός is peculiar only to the Proverbs (Proverbs 13:22, 24; Proverbs 15:3); cf. besides the solitary instance in 1 Kings 2:32. Thus, even in the usage of the O. T. we are reminded of Christ's words, Mark 10:18, οὐδείς ἀγαθός εἰ μή εἷς ὁ Θεός. In the O. T. the term 'righteous' makes reference rather to a covenant and to one's relation to a positive standard; ἀγαθός would express the absolute idea of moral goodness" (Zezschwitz, Profangraec. u. Biblical Sprachgeist, Leipz. 1859, p. 60). Cf. Tittm., p. 19. On the comparison of ἀγαθός see B. 27 (24).)

καλός

(in vino veritas) (neuter accusative plural, ἀληθῆ, in answer to a question) that's right. _______________________________________ LATIN - VERITAS veritas In Roman mythology, Veritas, meaning truth, is the goddess of truth, a daughter of Chronos, the God of Time (who has been identified with Saturn-Cronus, perhaps first by Plutarch), and the mother of Virtus. She is also sometimes considered the daughter of Zeus,[1] or a creation of Prometheus.[2][3] The elusive goddess is said to have hidden in the bottom of a holy well.[4] She is depicted both as a virgin dressed in white and as the "naked truth" (nuda veritas) holding a hand mirror. _________________________________________ HOLY WELL A holy well or sacred spring is a spring or other small body of water revered either in a Christian or pagan context, sometimes both. The term holy well is commonly employed to refer to any water source of limited size (i.e. not a lake or river, but including pools and natural springs and seeps), which has some significance in the folklore of the area where it is located, whether in the form of a particular name, an associated legend, the attribution of healing qualities to the water through the numinous presence of its guardian spirit or Christian saint, or a ceremony or ritual centred on the well site. In Christian legend, the water is often said to have been made to flow by the action of a saint, a familiar theme especially in the hagiography of Celtic saints. In ancient Greece and Rome a nymphaeum or nymphaion (Greek: νυμφαίον), was a monument consecrated to the nymphs, especially those of springs.

COMPARATIVE and SUPERLATIVES
Introduction As we have already learned, adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. In order to describe a noun or pronoun, an adjective must match the noun in gender, number and case. Greek adjectives also have DEGREES: The POSITIVE degree refers to the quality or quantity conveyed by the meaning of the adjective tall, short The COMPARATIVE degree refers to MORE of the quality or quantity conveyed by the adjective taller, shorter The SUPERLATIVE degree refers to the MAXIMUM of the quality or quantity conveyed by the adjective tallest, shortest Comparative and Superlative Degree: -τερος/-τατος For most adjectives, the comparative degree is marked by adding -τερος -α -ον to the masculine stem of the positive degree. To mark the superlative degree, the endings -τατος -η -ον are added to the masculine stem. (S 313; GPH p. 35, ). For adjectives that have these endings, the PERSISTENT ACCENT is on the ANTEPENULT. ``` μωρός -ά -όν dull, stupid (masc. stem: μωρο-) Comparative: μωρότερος -α -ον Superlative: μωρότατος -η -ον σοφός -ή -όν wise (masc. stem: σοφο-) Comparative: σοφώτερος -α -ον Superlative: σοφώτατος -η -ον πιστός -ή -όν trusted (masc. stem: πιστο-) Comparative: πιστότερος -α -ον Superlative: πιστότατος -η -ον ἀληθής -ές true (masc. stem: ἀληθεσ-) Comparative: ἀληθέστερος -α -ον Superlative: ἀληθέστατος -η -ον βαρύς -εῖα -ύ heavy (masc. stem: βαρυ-) Comparative: βαρύτερος -α -ον Superlative: βαρύτατος -η -ον ``` Note that in the above examples, the final ο of masculine stems sometimes appears as ω before the addition of the τερ/τατ markers. Generally speaking, the LENGTH of this vowel is OPPOSITE the length of the preceding vowel: μωρότερος -α -ον σοφώτερος -α -ον However, if the preceding stem vowel is followed by two consonants or a double consonant (e.g. ξ, ψ, ζ), ο appears regardless of the length of the preceding vowel: πιστότερος -α -ον Comparative and Superlative Degree: -ίων/-ιστος As in English, some Greek adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives differently. The most common alternative marker for the comparative degree is -(ί)ων -(ι)ον. We encountered this form in our previous discussion of adjectives. To review: βελτίων -ιον (stem: βέλτιον-) better (S 293; GPH p. 11) ``` Singular M/F N Nominative βελτίων βέλτιον Genitive βελτίονος βελτίονος Dative βελτίονι βελτίονι Accusative βελτίονα βέλτιον Plural M/F N Nominative βελτίονες βελτίονα Genitive βελτιόνων βελτιόνων Dative βελτίοσι βελτίοσι Accusative βελτίονας βελτίονα ``` ``` Adjectives that form their comparative degree with -(ί)ων -(ι)ον usually form their superlative degree with -ιστος -η -ον. For adjectives that have these superlative endings, the PERSISTENT ACCENT is on the ANTEPENULT (e.g. βέλτιστος –η –ον). In many cases, comparatives and superlatives that end in -(ί)ων /-ιστος are adjectives that, while comparative or superlative in meaning, have no positive degree form of their own. These forms are called IRREGULAR COMPARISONS (S 319). Note the following examples. ἀγαθός -ή -όν good ἀμείνων –ον better, braver βελτίων –ιον better, more virtuous κρείττων –ον better, stronger ἄριστος –η –ον best, excellent βέλτιστος –η –ον best, most virtuous κράτιστος –η –ον best, strongest κακός -ή -όν bad κακίων –ιον morally worse χείρων –ον worse ἥττων –ον worse, weaker κάκιστος –η –ον morally worst χείριστος –η –ον worst ἥκιστα least of all αἰσχρός -ά -όν shameful αἰσχίων –ιον more shameful αἴσχιστος –η –ον most shameful ἐχθρός -ά -όν hostile ἐχθίων –ιον more hostile ἔχθιστος –η –ον most hostile ἡδύς –εῖα -ύν sweet ἡδίων –ιον sweeter ἥδιστος –η –ον sweetest καλός -ή -όν beautiful καλλίων –ιον more beautiful κάλλιστος –η –ον most beautiful μέγας μεγάλη μέγα big μείζων –ον bigger μέγιστος –η –ον biggest μικρός -ά -όν small μικρότερος –α –ον smaller ἐλάττων –ον smaller ἥττων –ον less, worse, weaker μικρότατος –η –ον smallest ἐλάχιστος -η -ον smallest ἥκιστα least of all ὀλίγος -η -ον few μείων –ον fewer ἐλάττων –ον smaller ἥττων –ον fewer, worse, weaker ὀλίγιστος -η -ον fewest, least ἐλάχιστος -η -ον fewest ἥκιστα least of all πολύς πολλά πολύ many πλείων –ιον or πλέων –ον more πλεῖστος –η –ον most ῥᾴδιος –α –ον easy ῥᾴων ῥᾷον easier ῥᾷστος –η –ον easiest ταχύς ταχεῖα ταχύ swift θάττων, θᾶττον swifter τάχιστος –η –ον swiftest Note also the forms and meanings of these adjectives, which we have already encountered in our lesson on adjectives: ἀμφότερος -α -ον both ἑκάτερος -α -ον each (of two) ἕκαστος -η –ον each ἕτερος -α –ον other πότερος -α -ον which (of two)? πρότερος -α -ον previous < πρῶτος -η –ον first δεύτερος -η –ον second ὕστερος -η –ον later ἡμέτερος -η –ον our ὑμέτερος -η –ον your ``` Comparative and Superlative Adverbs ``` Greek adverbs, like adjectives, also have DEGREES: The POSITIVE degree: wisely The COMPARATIVE degree: more wisely The SUPERLATIVE degree: most wisely Recall that to form the positive degree of most adverbs, start with the GENITIVE PLURAL of the MASCULINE ADJECTIVE and substitute –ς for the final –ν (S 343). The ACCENT remains as it was on the genitive plural. For example: Adjective Genitive Plural Adverb ἀληθής ἀληθές ἀληθῶν ἀληθῶς ἡδύς ἡδεῖα ἡδύ ἡδέων ἡδέως κακός –ή –όν κακῶν κακῶς ὅλος -η -ον ὅλων ὅλως ``` In Greek, adverbs do not have unique endings in the comparative and superlative degrees. To form a COMPARATIVE ADVERB, Greek uses the NEUTER ACCUSATIVE SINGULAR form of the COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVE: σοφώτερον more wisely βέλτιον better To form a SUPERLATIVE ADVERB, Greek uses the NEUTER ACCUSATIVE PLURAL form of the SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVE: σοφώτατα most wisely τάχιστα most swiftly, quickest Indicating a Comparison ``` There are TWO CONSTRUCTIONS in Greek that indicate a COMPARISON in a sentence. Both are translated the same in English. Using the word ἤ to mean than Using the Genitive of Comparison Socrates is wiser than Polemarchus. ὁ Σωκράτης ἐστὶ σοφώτερος ἢ Πολέμαρχος. ὁ Σωκράτης ἐστὶ σοφώτερος Πολεμάρχου. Socrates speaks more wisely than Polemarchus. ὁ Σωκράτης λέγει σοφώτερον ἢ Πολέμαρχος. ὁ Σωκράτης λέγει σοφώτερον Πολεμάρχου. ``` η! What’s This? Pay close attention to the accent and breathing of ἤ, so you do not confuse it with other words of totally different meaning. ἤ or ἢ (smooth breathing; acute or grave accent) than (comparison) or (conjunction) ἦ (smooth breathing; circumflex accent) I was (1st sg. imperfect indicative active of εἰμί) ἡ (rough breathing; no accent) the (fem. nom. sg. of definite article) ἥ or ἣ (rough breathing; acute or grave accent) who, which (fem. nom. sg. of relative pronoun) ᾗ (rough breathing; circumflex accent; iota subscript) to/for whom, which (fem. dat. sg. of relative pronoun) where; which way, how (adverb from fem. dat. sg. of relative pronoun) – τὸ τέλος –
