εὐεργ-εσία G2108
a good deed, kindness, or beneficial service; a favor or benefit conferred; beneficence
This noun denotes a good deed, act of kindness, or beneficial service done for another. In Acts 4:9, Peter and John are questioned about 'the good deed done to a crippled man'—healing him being both kindness and miracle. In 1 Timothy 6:2, slaves with believing masters should serve well because those benefiting from their service are 'believers and beloved'—the work done is beneficial service (εὐεργεσίας). The Spanish 'beneficio/buena obra' (benefit/good work) and French 'bienfait' (benefaction) both capture acts of kindness or beneficial service. Classical usage included public services done for the state and the title εὐεργέτης (benefactor) voted to honored citizens.

1. sense 1 — Spanish 'beneficio/buena obra' (benefit/good work) and French 'bienfait' (benefaction) show this word denotes beneficial acts. In Acts 4:9, Peter declares, 'If we are being examined today concerning a good deed (εὐεργεσίᾳ) done to a crippled man'—the healing at the Beautiful Gate is framed as both miracle and kindness. In 1 Timothy 6:2, Christian slaves shouldn't despise believing masters but serve even better 'because those who benefit from their service' (εὐεργεσίας) are believers and beloved—the slaves' work is good service benefiting fellow Christians. Classical Greek used this for public benefactions and civic services; benefactors received public honors. The biblical uses apply it to healing and faithful labor—both good deeds that help others. 2×
