I realize that some folks will not be interested in my ADDENDUM NOTE. However, I did the work and included it here for those who might think that I did not consider the linguistic background to the use of the word, "Good."
I gave a lot of thought, research and time to this project. I looked up the words, cross referenced them in the Greek lexicon, culled out the verses that did not apply, double checked the commentaries on some of the verses and then categorized them. But on top of that I rearranged and reformat them for FB NOTES.
I know they are not perfect documents, but they should be easy to read and meditate on, if anyone is interested. I think it is a great subject, because there is so little goodness in the world, even in the Church today.
This is a companion document to my NOTE, GOD EXPECTS AND ENABLES BELIEVERS TO BE GOOD AND TO DO GOOD. This document recognizes the Greek word that is used in each of those verses. The format is as follows.
List of Greek words translated as, “Good” with Strong's Number and short definition from Strongs Concordance. These words are given in the numerical order/alphabetical order of the Greek words.
The verses are given in the order that the appear in the New Testament.
Whenever the Greek word changes, from verse to verse, I stipulate it in the heading.
