ὑγιής (G5199)

adjc. | -ές · acc. ὑγιῆ | ὑγιαίνω

23.129 · Physiological Processes and States · Health, Vigor, Strength

to be well, to be healthy the state of being healthy, well (in contrast with sickness) In a number of languages health is expressed only in terms of strength, for ‘to be well’ is ‘to be strong.’ In other languages, however, to be well or to be healthy is a negation of illness or sickness, so that in MRK 16:18 one may translate ‘they will place their hands on those who are sick and these people will become not sick.’

TIT 2:8

¹ TIT 2:8 ὑγιής[b] covers a relatively wide range of meaning, but in TIT 2:8 the focal element appears to be ‘that which is right.’
