he/she is being well-spirited
| Root | εὐθυμέω (euthymeō) |
| Core Meanings | be of good spirit, be cheerful, be encouraged, be confident, be well-hearted |
| Semantic Range | to be cheerful, to be encouraged, to take heart, to be confident, to remain in good spirits despite circumstances |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, this term expresses an inner resilience or uplifted spirit grounded in trust or hope. It reflects not mere emotion but a settled state of heart that aligns with faith and confidence in God’s sustaining presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S,). The present tense emphasizes a current, continuous state of inner disposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb εὐθυμέω derives from εὔ (good, well) and θυμός (spirit, inner passion), literally meaning "to be of good spirit." The present active indicative third singular form denotes an ongoing state—"is being"—performed actively by the subject, hence "he/she is being well-spirited." |
