arkeō describes what is enough for a need or what a person accepts as adequate.

The occurrences show adequacy in relation to a stated need or request, and acceptance of available provisions, possessions, or wages as enough. The same verb also marks that what is present does not meet the needed amount or does not satisfy a person.

1. Being enough for a stated need · dominant

   Present active forms frame whether something meets a need: in John 6:7 the APB renders the bread amount "would not be enough," while in John 14:8 Philip says the requested showing "is sufficient." In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the clause presents grace as sufficient, and Matthew 25:9 anticipates that the supply may not be enough for both groups.

2. Accepting what is available as enough · common

   Passive forms occur where people are directed or described in relation to what they have: in Luke 3:14 the APB renders the instruction "be content with your wages," and Hebrews 13:5 says "be content with what you have." In 1 Timothy 6:8 food and clothing are the stated provisions, while 3 John 1:10 describes a man as "not content with these things."

   Luke 3:14Hebrews 13:51 Timothy 6:83 John 1:10

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "sufficient" and "enough" where adequacy is in view, and "be content" or "not content" where acceptance of available things is in view. These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
