ἀγαθωσύνη agathōsynē
goodness · kindness
Team definition
A noun for goodness as a personal quality, with the stress on the kindly side rather than on the sterner quality named by the noun for righteousness. Rom 15:14 says the readers are full of this quality. The same word appears in a virtue list and in a prayer that God would fulfill every resolve for goodness.
