εὖ
eu
Adverb
well, good

Definition

Well, rightly, nobly — the Greek adverb of approval and excellence. Used in the famous commendation from the master: 'Well [eu] done, good and faithful servant.' This small word carries the weight of divine approval — the highest commendation any human can receive.

Usage & Theological Significance

Eu is the word every believer longs to hear. When Jesus says 'Eu, good and faithful servant' (Matthew 25:21), it is the ultimate verdict — God's approval of a life well-lived. The word is simple, direct, and final. No elaborate praise, just 'eu' — well done. This single syllable motivates all faithful service: not for reward, but for the joy of hearing the Master's approval.
