MAKARIOI
American: supremely blest
EULOGEMENE
American: to speak well
of, to praise, to bless
EULOGIA
American: fine speaking, commendation, blessing, eulogy
In Amplified Lesson 103, we considered the use
of eulogemene in offering praise. Here we consider using it in blessing.
Our Lord Jesus, the Christ, blessed or gave thanks for food and His
Sermon on the Mount is filled with blessings.

1st Corinthians 10.15: As
to the wise I say,
“Distinguish
what I say. Isn’t the cup of eulogias with which we eulogoumen a koinonia [sharing,
partnership] in the blood of the Christou? Isn’t the bread which we break a
koinonia in the somatos [body] of the Christou? Because of the One Bread, we many are one soma
for we all share the One Bread. Look at Israel. Down to flesh, aren’t those
eating the thusia [animal sacrifice] koinonia in the altar. What then,
do I say that an eidolon [image for worship, idol] is something? but
what an ethne [nation, race, non-Jew, gentile] thuo [sacrifice or
kill an animal], they thuo to daimonion
[a demonic being, a demon] and not to Theos. I not want you to be caused
to be koinonia of daimonion. You can’t drink the cup of the Kuriou and the cup
of the daimonion! You can’t share of the table of the Kuriou and the table of
the daimonion! Or do we incite the Kurion to rivalry? We aren’t stronger than Him, are we?”
Romans
4: What then, shall we say that
Abraham our forefather has found down
to flesh? For if Abraham was edikaiothe [rendered just] emergent from
work, he has something to boast about; conversely, not toward Theos. For what says
Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament]?
“Abraham episteuse [had reliance, had faith] in Theos and it was credited to him as dikaiosunen [equity, justification, rightness].”
GENESIS 15.6: [YHWH speaking]"... He counted it to him as tsidqah [dikaiosune].”
[Romans continues] Now,
to the one working, his wages aren’t counted down to charin [graciousness],
conversely, as something due to him. But
to the one not working but pisteuonti
[putting his faith] upon the One
dikaiounta [rendering just, justifying] the irreverent, his pistis is
counted for him as dikaionta; just as David also says of the makarismon
[supreme blessedness] of the man to whom Theos dikaiosunen [credits
being just] without work:
“Makarioi
are those whose lawlessness
aphethesan [is sent forth, is forsaken, is forgiven] and whose hamartiai
[misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins] are concealed. Makarios
is the man to whom the Kurios not
(in no way) will charge [count as] hamartian.”
Romans 15.28: Then having finished this and having attested to them this fruit, I will depart via you to Spain. I know that coming to you, I will come in the fullness of the eulogias of the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of the Christou.
Luke 1.39: And in these days rising, amidst speed, Mary traveled into the hill country into a city of Judah and entering into the dwelling of Zekaryahuw [in Hebrew; Zechariah in American], hugged Elizabeth. And it was caused to be that as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby jumped for joy in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Hagios Pneuma and she exclaimed with a megale phone and said,“You eulogemene of gunaichi [women] and eulogemene is the fruit of your womb. And why is this happening to me? in order that the mother of my Kuriou comes to me for LO! as the phone [sound, tone, noise, voice] of your greeting came into my ears, the babe (in my womb) jumped in joy. And makaria is the one pisteusasa [having faith] because there will be a completion to the words spoken to her from beside the Kuriou.”Mary said,“My psuche megaluno [makes or declares great] the Kurion and my pneuma jumps for joy over Theos my Soteri [Deliverer, Savior] because He gazed with favor upon the low estate of His slave. For LO! from now on all the generations me makariouai [will call supremely blest] for the Mighty One magnificently did to me and Hagiou is His name, and His compassion is to generations of generations of those fearing Him.”
Luke 9.14: For there were about five thousand men. Now He
said to His mathetas [learners, pupils, disciples], “Cause them to recline down (to eat) in
groups of fifty.” And they did so and caused all to recline. Now taking the
five loaves and the two fish (looking into the ouranon), He eulogesen
and broke them down and gave of them to the mathetais to present to
the throng. And they all ate and were sated and twelve small baskets of
leftovers (of them) were picked up.
Luke
10.17: Now, the seventy returned amidst joy, saying,
“Kurie!
even the daimonion submitted to us in Your name [authority].”
But
He said to them,
“I was a spectator of Satanan descending from the
Ouranou [Heaven] in the manner of lightning. LO! I have given to you the
privilege [authority] to trample on snakes and scorpions and upon all
the dunamin [force, power] of the echthrou [hateful one] and not
even one thing (in no way) shall harm
you but not rejoice in this (that the pneumata submit to you) but rather that
your names are written in the Ouranois [Heavens].”
Luke 10.21: In the same hour, Jesus jumped for joy
in the Pneumati and said,
“I acknowledge You, Father (Kurie of Ouranou and the earth) that You hid these truths from the wise and the keenly perceptive and disclosed them to children. Yes, Father, because thus it was found to be satisfying to You. Everything was surrendered to Me through You, My Father, and not even one person knows Who is the Son, if not [except] the Father and Who is the Father, if not the Son and anyone to whom the Son bouletai [may will, may resolve, may intend] to disclose Him.” And turning around to the mathetas, He privately said,
“Makarioi are the eyes looking at what you are looking at for to you I
say that many prophetai [before-tellers, prophets] and sovereigns wanted
to see what you are looking at and didn’t see this and to hear what you hear and didn’t hear this.”
Luke 12.35: “Let your loins be girdled [belted] and your lamp lit, and you will be like men awaiting their kurion, when he departs emergent from the nuptials in order that he coming and knocking, they will immediately open to him. Makarioi are those slaves whom the kurios, coming, will find awake. Amen! I say to you, that he will gird himself and will cause them to recline and coming up to them, he will serve them. And if he comes in the second watch [between 9 PM and midnight] or if he even comes in the third watch [between midnight and 3 AM] and find it so, makarios are those slaves. But know this, that if the householder had known at which hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and never have allowed the breaking into of his house. And accordingly, you be ready because the Son of Man comes at that hour when you not think He is coming.”
Luke 14.12: Now, also, He said to those inviting Him,“Whenever you make a luncheon or dinner, don’t invite your friends nor your brothers nor your relatives nor your rich associates lest they also invite you in return and it is caused to be to you a repayment. Conversely, when you make a reception, invite paupers, the crippled, the limping, the blind and you will be makarios because they haven’t anything with which to repay you for to you it will be repaid in the repayment of the dikaion.”
Titus 2.7: Through all, hold close [present] yourself a model of kalon [beautiful, virtuous] works in purity of teaching, in being venerable, incorruptible, sound in speech, without blame in order that he emergent from the opposition be confounded; having not even one foul word to say about us. Slaves are to subordinate themselves to their own despotais [despots, masters], to be fully agreeable in everything; not arguing, not embezzling but showing good pistin [faith] in all in order that they may adorn the teaching of Theos (our Soteros) in everything. For the charis of Theos has shone forth defending all men, training us (as if children) in order that, having disavowed ungodliness and worldly lusts, we might live with discretion and dikaios and pious in the present age. We are receiving the makarian elpida [expectation, hope] and manifestation of the glory of our megalou [big, large, huge, great] Theos and Soteros (Jesus, the Christou) Who gave Himself over us in order that He might ransom us from all illegality and cleanse for Himself a special people, zealous of kalon works.
Matthew
5: Now, seeing the throngs, He went up into the mount [just north of the Sea of
Galilee and west of the village of Capernahum (inHebrew; “Village of Comfort”
in American)] and Him sitting down, His mathetai came near to Him. And opening
His mouth, He taught them, saying,
“Makarioi are the poor in pneumati because of them [theirs] is the Kingdom
of the Ouranon.”
“Makarioi are the grieving because they parakethesontai [shall be called near, shall
be invited, shall be urged, shall be exhorted, shall be encouraged, shall be consoled].”
“Makarioi are the praeis [mild, humble] because they shall inherit the earth.”
“Makarioi are the those hungering for and thirsting for dikaiosunen because they shall
be sated.”
“Makarioi are the compassionate because they shall receive compassion.”
“Makarioi are the clean in heart because they shall stare (with wide-open eyes) at
Theos.”
“Makarioi are the peacemakers because they shall be called ‘Sons of Theos.’”
“Makarioi are those pursued [persecuted] on account of dikaiosunes because theirs is the Kingdom of the Ouranon.
You are makarioi when they defame you and pursue you and shall say every poneron [hurtful] rhema [utterance] down to you; lying because of Me. Then you should rejoice and jump for joy because great are your wages in the Ouranois [Heavens] for thus they pursued [persecuted] the prophetas before they did so to you.
Matthew 23.37: “Jerusalem! Jerusalem! the one killing the prophetos and stoning
those sent forth to her. How many times I ethelesa [determined,
decided, choose, decreed] to collect your children (in the way a bird
collects its babies under her wings) and you not ethelesate. Lo! your
house is left empty to you. For to you I say, not (in no way) shall you see Me,
from just now until you say, ‘Eulogemenos those coming in the name [authority]
of the Kuriou!’”
Mark 10.13: And they brought Him children in order that He might touch them
but the mathetai admonished those bringing them. But seeing this, Jesus was indignant, and He said
to them, “Send forth [Allow] the
children to come to Me and do not estop them for of these is the
Kingdom of Theos. Amen! I say to you, whoever
not receives the Kingdom of
Theos in the same way as a child, not
in no way may he enter into it.”
And having taken them in His arms (having laid hands upon them), He eulogei them.
1st Peter 3.13: And who is he injuring you? If you are caused to be imitators of the good but if you also suffer via dikaiosunen, you makarioi [are supremely blest]. But don’t be frightened by fear of them nor be agitated.
ISAIAH 8.12: [YHWH speaking] “The fear [dread] of this people don’t fear and don’t awe them.”
1st Peter 4.12: Agapetoi [Unconditionally beloved]! not entertain in yourselves ignition [indignation] toward your testing coming as foreign to your walk; conversely, it is that down to which you share the suffering of the Christou. Rejoice! in order that also, in the revelation of His glory, you may jumping-for-joy rejoice. If you are defamed in the name of the Christou, you makarioi that also the glory of the Hagios Pneuma of Theos rests upon you.
