worthily · in a manner worthy of
Team definition
An adverb meaning worthily, or in a manner worthy of someone. It often takes a genitive of the standard. Rom 16:2 uses it that way: welcome “in a manner worthy of the saints.” The same pattern appears with “the Lord,” “God,” and similar genitives elsewhere. The adverb states a standard of fitting conduct; it does not define an office.
