6 An Honest & Good Heart Luke 8:15 The Phrase (Meaning)

7 “…honest and good heart…”
The Phrase (Meaning) “…honest and good heart…” “Honest” (kalos) Translated “honest” ESV, ASV, KJV; “noble” NKJV, NIV Same word translated: honorable (Rom. 12:17; 1 Pet. 2:12; Jas. 2:7; 2 Cor. 8:21) Pulpit: better rendered “noble” – “He was one whose aim was noble, and who was generously devoted to his aim.” Lenski: “Καλός is the opposite of κακός or “good-for-nothing,” something that does not meet its purpose like a pen that does not write properly or a cowardly soldier; hence καλός means “excellent” for its purpose.”

8 I. H. Marshall: “This phrase, peculiar to Luke, is found in Hellenistic sources, and may represent the deliberate use of an expression which conveys the Hellenistic ideal of an honourable character. But this is uncertain….here ethical in character (cf. 3:8)…” (p. 327).
