This adverb appears in Philippians 4:10, where Paul expresses his great joy that the Philippians have renewed their concern for him. The term modifies verbs to indicate intensity or degree — not just rejoicing but rejoicing greatly. Paul's warmth toward the Philippian church pervades this letter; their financial support during his imprisonment prompted profound gratitude. Yet he immediately clarifies that his contentment doesn't depend on circumstances — he has learned to be content in all situations. His great joy stems not from the gift itself but from the spiritual fruit it demonstrates in the givers.
