Humanity at its best finds expression in this adverb. Classical usage ranged from describing gentle animals to generous wines, always connoting warmth and benevolence. In Acts 27:3, it modifies how the centurion Julius treated Paul—with unusual kindness and consideration for a prisoner. The adverbial form suggests not isolated acts but a manner of relating, a consistent tone of humane treatment. Multilingual evidence shows varied strategies for capturing this warmth: Spanish 'humanamente,' French 'avec-amour-fraternel' (surprisingly), suggesting the translator intuited a depth beyond mere politeness.
