akin to A, No. 3, denotes "goodness" (a) in the sense of what is upright, righteous,  Romans 3:12 (translated "good"); (b) in the sense of kindness of heart or act, said of God,   Romans 2:4;  11:22 (thrice);   Ephesians 2:7 ("kindness");   Titus 3:4 ("kindness"); said of believers and rendered "kindness,"   2 Corinthians 6:6;  Colossians 3:12;  Galatians 5:22 (Rv; Av, "gentleness"). It signifies "not merely goodness as a quality, rather it is goodness in action, goodness expressing itself in deeds; yet not goodness expressing itself in indignation against sin, for it is contrasted with severity in   Romans 11:22 , but in grace and tenderness and compassion." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 292.] See Gentleness , Kindness.

'''B — 2: ἀγαθωσύνη (Strong'S #19 — Noun Feminine — agathosune — ag-ath-o-soo'-nay )
