To think kindly toward, to be well-disposed, to make friends, to settle matters. A compound of eu (well) + nous (mind) — literally 'to have a good mind toward someone.' Jesus uses it in the Sermon on the Mount for settling disputes before they reach the judge.
Eunoeo encapsulates Jesus's ethic of proactive reconciliation. In Matthew 5:25, Jesus commands: 'Settle matters quickly with your adversary.' Don't wait for court — be eunoeo, well-minded toward your opponent, now. This is revolutionary: rather than standing on rights, Jesus calls for generous peace-making. It reflects the Father's own character — He was eunoeo toward us while we were still His enemies.
