Dictionaries :: Well (Adverb)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Well (Adverb):

"finely" (akin to kalos, "good, fair"), is usually translated "well," indicating what is done rightly; in the Epistles it is most frequent in 1 Tim (1Ti 3:4, 12, 13; 5:17); twice it is used as an exclamation of approval, Mar 12:32; Rom 11:20; the comparative degree kallion, "very well," occurs in Act 25:10.
See GOOD, C, No. 1.

Note: The neuter form of the adjective kalos, with the article and the present participle of poieo, "to do," is translated "well-doing" in Gal 6:9.

Well (Adverb):

primarily the neuter of an old word, eus, "noble, good," is used

(b) in replies, "good," "well done," Mat 25:21, 23; in Luk 19:17, eu ge (in the best texts). The word is the opposite of kakos, "evilly."
