makavrio"makavrio", iva, ion (Pind., Pla., X.+; inscr., pap., LXX, En., Philo, Joseph.) blessed, fortunate, happy, usu. in the sense privileged recipient of divine favor. 

1. of human beings—a. with less obvious relig. coloring (Chrysippus in Diog. L. 7, 179 calls himself a makavrio" ajnhvr; Epict. 2, 18, 15; Jos., Ant. 16, 108; 20, 27) h{ghmai ejmauto;n makavrion Ac 26:2. Of the widow who remains unmarried makariwtevra ejstivn she is happier 1 Cor 7:40. m. h[mhn eij toiauvthn gunai`ka ei\con Hv 1, 1, 2 (Charito 6, 2, 9 m. h\n eij). Cf. Lk 23:29. 

b. with a more obvious relig. connotation (Jos., Ant. 9, 264), of Biblical persons: Moses 1 Cl 43:1. Judith 55:4. Paul 47:1; Pol 3:2; (11:3). Of other prominent Christians, esp. martyrs: Ignatius, Zosimus, Rufus Pol 9:1. Polycarp MPol 1:1; 19:1, 21; 22:1, 3. Of presbyters who have died 1 Cl 44:5. m. ei\nai ejn th`/ poihvsei aujtou` be blessed in what he does Js 1:25.—In various sentence combinations, in which the copula belonging with m. is often omitted (Bl-D. §127, 4; Rob. 395; Maximus Tyr. 14, 6f; m. [opp. dustuchv"] eujsebh;" fivlo" qeou`): as the apodosis of a conditional sentence Lk 6:5 D (JoachJeremias, Unknown Sayings of Jesus, tr. Fuller, ’57, 49-54); 1 Pt 3:14; 4:14; Hm 8:9. The conditional sentence follows J 13:17; 1 Cl 50:5; Hs 6, 1, 1a. W. relative clause foll. Mt 11:6; Lk 7:23; 14:15 (m. o{sti" Menand., fgm. 114, Mon. 340 al.); Ro 4:7f (Ps 31:1f); Js 1:12 (Sext. 40 mak. ajnhvr w. rel.); 1 Cl 56:6 (Job 5:17); B 10:10 (Ps 1:1.—Maximus Tyr. 33, 5e oJ m. ajnhvr, o{n); 11:8; Hv 2, 2, 7; s 9, 29, 3. m. ejn jIhsou` Cristw`/, o{" IPhld 10:2.

(2 Ch 9:7; Da 12:12) Mt 5:3ff (the transl. 0, the happiness of or hail to those, favored by some [Zahn, Wlh., EKlostermann, JWeiss; KBornhäuser, Die Bergpredigt ’23, 24 a1.] may be exactly right for the Aramaic original [=Hebr. yre]Oa'

], but it scarcely exhausts the content which makavrio" had in the mouths of Gk.-speaking Christians [cf. e.g. Maximus Tyr. 14, 6f makavrio" eujsebh;" fivlo" qeou`, dustuch;" de; oJ deisidaivmwn; Artem. 4, 72 the state of mak. ei\nai is brought about by ascension into heaven and the uJperbavllousa eujdaimoniva enjoyed there].—CCMcCown, The Beatitudes in the Light of Ancient Ideals: JBL 46, ’27, 50-61; JRezevskis [Resewski], D.

W. o{ti foll. Mt l6:17; Lk 14:14. W. o{tan Mt 5:11. Acc. to the reading of the Michigan Pap. (ed. CBonner ’34, p. 46) and of a parchment leaf at Hamburg (SAB ’09, 1081) Hs 5, 1, 3 contains the words makavriovn me poihvsei", ejavn you will make me happy, if.
