In the Old Testament there are five Hebrew words so translated, signifying “to be right, proper, fit,” which do not call for remark. In the New Testament are
1.
δεῖ
, often translated “must” and “ought.” It “behooved” the father to make merry when the prodigal son returned (
Luke 15:32
32
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. (Luke 15:32)
). Sinners received the punishment that was “fit” (
Rom. 1:27
27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Romans 1:27)
).
2.
ἱκαυόω
. The Christian is made “fit” to share the portion of the saints in light (
Col. 1:12
12
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: (Colossians 1:12)
).
3.
εὔχρηστος
. By the Christian separating himself from the vessels to dishonor, he becomes a vessel to honor, sanctified, “serviceable” to the Master (
2 Tim. 2:21
21
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21)
).
