This noun denotes abundance, fullness, or copious supply. Classical Greek used it for vigor and strength, abundance of resources, or loudness of sound. Paul employs it in 2 Corinthians 8:20 in the context of administering financial relief, describing the "abundance" or "liberal gift" being sent to Jerusalem. The term emphasizes the generous, plentiful nature of the Corinthian collection. French interestingly renders it "générosité" (generosity), capturing the spirit of abundant giving, while other translations emphasize the sheer volume—"abundance" or "Freigebigkeit" (liberality).
