1 εὖ
εὖ adv. (Hom.+; ins, pap, LXX; TestJob 44:3; ParJer 7:9; EpArist, Philo, Joseph.; Ar. [Milne, p. 74 ln. 1]; Just.; Tat. 17, 3; Ath. καλῶς becomes the more usual word: JLee, NovT 27, ’85, 11f.)① pert. to that which is good or beneficial, as applied to interpersonal relationship or experience, well εὖ ποιεῖν do good, show kindness (X., Cyr. 1, 6, 30, Oec. 2, 5; Demosth. 20, 37; POxy 1292, 3 [c. 30 A.D.]; LXX; TestJob 44:3f [εὐποιεῖν]; Jos., Ant. 14, 378; Just., A I, 28, 3, D. 118, 5) τινί (Ex 1:20; Sir 12:2, 5. Usu. the acc. follows) Mk 14:7. εὖ δουλεύειν 1 Cl 16:12 (Is 53:11). εὖ πράσσειν (ποιεῖν) means as a rule get along well, be prosperous (Pind.; X., Mem. 1, 6, 8; 2, 4, 6; 4, 2, 26, Oec. 11, 8; Pla., Prot. 333d; Ps.-Pla., Alc. I, 116b; Diog. L. 3, 61; Philo, Virt. 170, Decal. 43; Jos., Ant. 12, 156 al.; cp. Ath. 25, 2. As epistolary formula farewell in POxy 115, 12; 120, 27; 527, 9; 822; PGen 59, 24; 2 Macc 9:19). This sense is poss. in Ac 15:29, but do well, i.e. act correctly or rightly gives a better sense and is supported by the Vulgate, Armenian and Coptic transl. (so Simonides, Fgm. 4, 10 D.2; X., Mem. 3, 9, 14; Ps.-Pla., Eryx. 393e; Epict. 4, 6, 20; Artem. 2, 3 p. 86, 13; M. Ant. 3, 13; Philo, Mut. Nom. 197; Jos., Ant. 4, 286; Just., A I, 28, 3. Further support is gained from recognition of the appropriateness of the phrase in Ac 15:23–29 as an official document transmitted from one group to another in the diplomatic format used, e.g., in IMagnMai 91d, which concludes 8–10 with a related grammatical structure: εὖ οὖν ποιήσετε [τ]ὸν [ἔπαινον|Σωσικλείου]ς καὶ τὰς δεδομένας αὐτῷ τιμὰς εὐνόως ἀποδεξά[μενοι ἔρρω|σθε]=‘you will do well in receiving the commendation of Sosicles and the honors awarded him. Farewell.’ εὖ πράσσειν thus expresses a fundamental feature in the reciprocity system that ran through Gr-Rom. society: recipients of a benefit ‘act correctly’ by reciprocating in some way); sim. IEph 4:2 and ISm 11:3 require some such rendering as do right. ἵνα εὖ σοι γένηται that you may prosper Eph 6:3 (cp. Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16—Gen 12:13; Dt 4:40; TestJob 46:9; ParJer 7:9). εὖ ἔχειν πρός τινα be well-disposed or gracious to someone Hs 9, 10, 7.② pert. to meeting a standard of performance, well done! excellent! abs. as interjection (Ps.-X., Cyneg. 6, 20 Rühl v.l.) Mt 25:21, 23; Lk 19:17 v.l. (for εὖγε).—DELG s.v. ἐύ. M-M. -

3 καλῶς
καλῶς adv. of καλός (Hom.+; loanw. in rabb.; καλῶς overtakes εὖ: JLee, NovT 27, ’85, 11–13.) gener. ‘well, beautifully’.① pert. to meeting relatively high standards of excellence or expectation, fitly, appropriately, in the right way, splendidly (Is 23:16) κ. πάντα πεποίηκεν he has done everything very well, indeed Mk 7:37. διὰ τὸ κ. οἰκοδομῆσθαι αὐτήν because it was well built Lk 6:48; καλῶς κτισθέντα (opp. ἄχρηστα) created to good purpose Dg 4:2. σὺ κάθου ὧδε κ. be seated here in a good place = here’s a nice place for you Js 2:3 (=ἐν καλῷ, as Alciphron, Ep.3, 20 ἄγει μέ τις λαβὼν εἰς τὸ θέατρον, καθίσας ἐν καλῷ ‘someone took me to the theater and showed me to a good seat’; Lucian, Paras. 50 καλῶς κατακείμενος; other pass. Field, Notes 236), unless κ. here= please (so JRopes, ICC 1916 ad loc.; NRSV. Either rendering catches the deferential tone of κ.). σὺ κ. εὐχαριστεῖς you may give thanks well enough 1 Cor 14:17; ἐτρέχετε κ. you were running so well Gal 5:7. Cp. 1 Ti 3:4, 12 (Diog.

PKirberg, Die Toleranz der Korinther 1910; JMachen, The Origin of Paul’s Religion 1921, 131ff). κ. ἀθετεῖν Mk 7:9. But here perh. the καλῶς of vs. 6, which is not ironic, may require a similar interpr., and the sentence should be a question: are you doing the right thing in rejecting God’s commandment?⑦ comp. κάλλιον (for the superl., as Galen, Protr. 8 p. 24, 19 J.=p. 10, 31 Kaibel; s. B-D-F §244, 2) ὡς καὶ σὺ κ. ἐπιγινώσκεις as also you know very well Ac 25:10.—M-M. -

7 ἐπίστασις
ἐπίστασις, εως, ἡ (s. ἐφίστημι and next entry; Soph. et al. in var. mngs.; PAmh 134, 9 al. in pap; 2 Macc; EpArist; Philo, Leg. All. 3, 49; Jos., Ant. 16, 395; Just.) in our lit., both times w. the v.l. ἐπισύστασις (q.v.).① responsibility for a matter, pressure, care. For ἡ ἐ. μοι ἡ καθʼ ἡμέραν 2 Cor 11:28 pressure, in the sense of anxiety caused by a heavy sense of responsibility is prob.: the daily pressure on me. Alternatives include: attention or care daily required of me (ἐ.=attention, care: Aristot., Phys. 196a, 38; Polyb. 2, 2, 2; 11, 2, 4; Diod S 29, 32 end; EpArist 256; Just., D. 28, 1); superintendence, oversight (X., Mem. 1, 5, 2 codd.; s. also L-S-J-M s.v. II 3) the burden of oversight, which lies upon me day in and day out; finally, ἐ. can also mean stopping, hindrance, delay (BGU 1832, 16; 1855, 19; Polyb. 8, 28, 13); then: the hindrances that beset me day by day. Cp. the role of the ἐπιστάτης next entry.② the act of bringing someth. to a stop, stopping (X., An. 2, 4, 26; Polyb. 8, 28, 13) ἐ. ποιεῖν ὄχλου to cause a crowd to gather Ac 24:12. The phrase indicates that people stop with the result that a crowd develops; any first-century reader or auditor of Ac would prob. be aware that if Paul were responsible for collecting a mob around himself he would be at grave risk under the eyes of Roman authorities who were responsible for maintaining the peace. Hence the rendering ‘stirring up a crowd’ NRSV correctly assesses the mng of the text (cp. 2 Macc 6:3 ‘onslaught’ NRSV).—DELG s.v. ἵστημι. M-M.
