STRONGS G16:
ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ [WH (see
Ι, ι)],
-ας,
ἡ,
a course of right action, well-doing:
ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ,
1 Peter 4:19 equivalent to
ἀγαθοποιοῦντες acting uprightly [cf. xii. Patr. Jos. § 18]; if we read here with L Tr marginal reading
ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐαις we must understand it of single acts of rectitude [cf. Winers Grammar, § 27, 3; Buttmann, § 123, 2). (In ecclesiastical writings
ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ denotes
beneficence.)
