εὐοδόω, ἐυοδω: (passive, present ἐυοδοῦμαι; future εὐοδωθήσομαι; 1 aorist subjunctive εὐοδώθη, 1 Corinthians 16:2 WH marginal reading who regard the εὐοδῶται of the text here as perfect (either indicative or subjunctive) see their Appendix, p. 172); (εὔοδος); the Sept. principally for צָלַח and הִצְלִיחַ; to grant a prosperous and expeditious journey, to lead by a direct and easy way: Genesis 24:48: much more frequent tropically, to grant a successful issue, to cause to prosper: τί, as τήν ὁδόν τίνος, Genesis 24:21, 40; Isaiah 55:11, etc.; τά ἔργα τίνος, Wis. 11:1; in the passive always tropical, to prosper, be successful: of persons, Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 28:13; 2 Chronicles 13:12; 2 Chronicles 18:11, etc.; 3 John 1:2; εἴπως εὐοδωθήσομαι ἐλθεῖν if haply I shall be so fortunate as to come, Romans 1:10; of things: 2 Esdr. 5:8; Tobit 4:19; 1 Macc. 3:6, etc.; τῷ Κλεομενει εὐωδώθη τό πρῆγμα, Herodotus 6, 73; ὁ, τί ἄν εὐοδῶται (see above, at the beginning) whatever (business) has prospered, i. e. (contextually) its gains, 1 Corinthians 16:2.

V. attend upon). (Hesychius εὐπάρεδρον καλῶς παραμενον.)
